Abstract: Since November 21, 1969, the date the SDS Sigma 7 computer was connected to the first node of the first computer network called ARPANET, corresponding to the University of California in Los Angeles (UCLA, USA), the risks posed by computer attacks and the spread of malware through the network have been observed. This computational interconnection has advanced by leaps and bounds since its inception and with it, the number of security vulnerabilities that have been associated with it. For this reason, since that year 1969, there has been an endless battle between attacking and defending actors that dates back to the present. At the same time that these technological advances were taking place, enormous volumes of data were being generated on this network, what today is known as “Big Data”. Over the years, the true potential hidden behind this data has been discovered, and how, through different algorithms, a computing machine could be given the ability to receive these enormous amounts of data and learn from them (called “machine learning”). Therefore, if all these advances are merged, the perfect combination is obtained to exploit all the potential that exists in machine learning techniques and to be able to apply it to the field of Computer Security in order to contribute to the improvement of existing defense systems. This Final Degree Project will cover the creation of two machine learning models, through the training of different algorithms with a dataset selected for each model, with the aim that these trained models are capable of predicting malware and network attacks.
