Boston Logan launched a pilot expansion of the behavior detectionprogram last year, adding casual conversation with passengers as a means to detect behaviors that may indicate security threats.
Students showcased projects ranging from economically-viable algae biofuel to a robot that paints with watercolor to a computer program that improves cancer detection and many more.
Virtually any entity that implements a tip line (either by telephone or web-portal) and commensurate training program will see lower losses and shorter detection times to stop the losses and catch the perpetrators.
Critics in Congress have said they would like to see much bigger numbers coming from the detection system given the sheer size of the Medicare program, which by some estimates costs taxpayers tens of billions of dollars a year in fraud.
Symantec is improving its automatic detection system by improving its heuristic engine, which evaluates program behaviors to identify potential virus risks.
