[The network software] augments its artificial intelligence-driven anomaly detection capabilities with automated malware scanning. During backup operations, backups are checked for anomalies in near real-time. If anomalies are suspected, malware scanning is automatically initiated to determine if backups contain malware. If a malware scan is positive, data protection, replication, and expiry can be automatically paused for infected targets to contain the spread and prevent expiration of backups with uninfected data. 4, record 2, English, - artificial%20intelligence%20anomaly%20detection

Submarines are vulnerable to detection through their underwater magnetic signature. As this influence is unrelated to acoustic signatures, magnetic detection is feasible even for acoustically-quiet submarines or in littoral waters. The MAD hardware and the associated geological noise-reduction algorithms and submarine-detection algorithms are used to localize submarines from aircraft. The MAD technology has significant links to the geophysical exploration industry. 1, record 11, English, - magnetic%20anomaly%20detection

Les sous-marins sont vulnérables à la détection en raison de leur signature magnétique sous-marine. Comme cette influence n'est pas reliée aux signatures acoustiques, la détection magnétique est possible même pour des sous-marins à acoustique atténuée ou dans les eaux littorales. Le matériel MAD et les algorithmes géologiques réducteurs de bruit et les algorithmes de détection des sous-marins connexes sont utilisés pour localiser les sous-marins à partir d'un aéronef.
