Automated teller machines are affected by two kinds of attacks: physical and logical. It is common for most banks to look for zero-day protection for their devices. The most secure solutions available are based on complex security policies that are extremely hard to configure. The goal of this article is to present a concept of using the modified MajorClust algorithm for generating a sandbox-based security policy based on ATM usage data. The results obtained from the research prove the effectiveness of the used techniques and confirm that it is possible to create a division into sandboxes in an automated way.

The widespread use of computing devices and the heavy dependence on the internet has evolved the cyberspace to a cyber world - something comparable to an artificial world. This paper focuses on one of the major problems of the cyber world - cyber security or more specifically computer malware. We show that computer malware is a perfect example of an artificial ecosystem with a co-evolutionary predator-prey framework. We attempt to merge the two domains of biologically inspired computing and computer malware. Under the aegis of proactive defense, this paper discusses the possibilities, challenges and opportunities in fusing evolutionary computing techniques with malware creation.
