MICS Capstone Project Spring 2025

PowerGuard

As cyber threats evolve, GPUs and CPUs are increasingly exploited for malicious activities like cryptojacking and rootkit deployment. Traditional antivirus software often overlooks GPU misuse, leaving systems vulnerable. Our proposed solution aims to tackle this by developing a GPU-aware antivirus tool that integrates with existing security systems. By monitoring CPU and GPU usage patterns through a Windows kernel module and analyzing the data with advanced machine learning, we seek to detect sophisticated threats, improve security, and provide accessible protection for organizations with limited resources.
