Patent number: 12682060Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable media are disclosed for detecting a malware sample by creating polymorphic variants of a malware sample using a large language model. The technology can obtain a known malware sample and decompose the known malware sample into behavioral characterizations of the known malware sample that correspond to respective processes taken by the known malware sample. The technology can then train a large language model with data corresponding to the behavioral characterizations and generate polymorphic variants of the known malware sample with a large language model based on the behavioral characterizations. When the technology later receives a potential malware sample, it can analyze the potential malware sample by comparing the potential malware sample to the polymorphic variants of the known malware sample generated by the large language model.Type: GrantFiled: May 22, 2024Date of Patent: July 14, 2026Assignee: Cisco Technology, Inc.Inventors: Vincent Parla, Andrew Zawadowskiy, Blake Anderson, Hugo Mike Latapie, Oleg Bessonov

Patent number: 12657310Abstract: In one aspect, a method includes creating a polymorphic variant of a sample of malware, analyzing the polymorphic variant of the sample of malware by a security management service to determine if the polymorphic variant of the sample of malware evades detection by the security management service, when the security management service fails to detect the polymorphic variant during the analysis of the polymorphic variant, detonating the polymorphic variant in a virtualized environment to identify characterizations of the polymorphic variant, and training the security management service to detect the polymorphic variant based on the characterizations.Type: GrantFiled: July 27, 2023Date of Patent: June 16, 2026Assignee: Cisco Technology, Inc.Inventors: Vincent Parla, Andrew Zawadowskiy, Blake Anderson, Hugo Mike Latapie, Oleg Bessonov, David Arthur McGrew, Michael Roytman, Tian Bu, William Michael Hudson, Jr., Nancy Cam-Winget
