Webroot specializes in cloud-based Internet security for consumers and businesses. The goal of our project was to perform real-time machine learning on local network streams and provide insight about anomalous and malicious behavior. Our team developed an infrastructure that uses ma-chine learning to capture and analyze network traffic and display information about it, offering clients a better understanding of malicious activity on their networks and a new way to protect against malware.
