Ransomware and DDoS attacks are among the leading threats to digital security worldwide and are becoming increasingly prevalent in Latin America, where organizations and service providers also face limitations in accessing advanced protection mechanisms. The research focuses on the use of Artificial Intelligence to improve the detection of these types of attacks, combining Machine Learning, Deep Learning, and generative AI techniques. The work will also use real traffic data and seek to validate the results in environments directly connected to industry. The initiative brings together academic and industry capabilities from Mexico and Brazil, with the goal of applying research results in real-world scenarios and helping reduce disruptions, financial losses, and risks associated with DDoS and ransomware attacks.
