Dr Mateusz Krzysztoń

Mateusz Krzysztoń heads a team that conducts research and development work on the application of machine learning in cybersecurity. The first area of research concerns the detection of unknown threats in cyberspace, including, among others, new malicious applications on mobile devices or new types of attacks on ICT systems by observing network traffic. The second is to study and evaluate the security of machine learning models, particularly the vulnerability of these models to attacks.

The team’s biggest success is the development of a lightweight detector for new malicious applications on Android. The detector runs entirely on the client’s mobile device, so that information about the apps the user installs does not go beyond his device. The solution is currently being implemented as part of the BotSense system widely used by banking institutions in Poland.
