Malware detection is a research area focused on developing methods and tools to detect and prevent malicious software, or malware, from infecting computer systems. This includes researching various types of malware, such as viruses, worms, trojans, and ransomware, as well as analyzing their behavior and characteristics to identify and remove them from infected systems. Researchers in this area work to develop innovative techniques for detecting malware, such as signature-based detection, behavior-based detection, and heuristic analysis. They also explore ways to improve the accuracy and efficiency of malware detection systems, often using machine learning and artificial intelligence algorithms to enhance detection capabilities. Overall, the goal of malware detection research is to protect computer systems and networks from the harmful effects of malware, safeguarding sensitive data and maintaining the security and integrity of digital assets.
