Toward Automatic Discovery of Malware Signature for Anti-Virus Cloud Computing

Publisher's description

Security vendors are facing a serious problem of defeating the complexity of malwares. With the popularity and the variety of zero-day malware over the Internet, generating their signatures for detecting via Anti-Virus (AV) scan engines becomes an important reactive security function. However, AV security products consume much of the PC memory and resources due to their large signature files. AV cloud computing becomes a popular solution for this problem. In this paper, a novel Automatic Malware Signature Discovery System for AV cloud (AMSDS) is proposed to generate malware signatures from both static and dynamic aspects. The experiments on millions-scale samples suggest that AMSDS outperforms most state-of-the-art automatic signature generation techniques of both industry and academia.

Leading UK Marketing Communications Group Ensures Unimpeded Collaboration and Successful Protection Against Spam With M+Guardian

Part of the Cello market research and consulting group, Tangible was formed in early 2008 from the merger of seven creative design, advertising, and PR companies. The challenge was to roll-out a flexible, yet secure anti-spam and anti-virus solution for GroupWise in a Mac environment. To secure their GroupWise environment, the Tangible Group has been using M+Guardian from Messaging Architects for almost two years. Prior to M+Guardian's implementation, the IT Department employed a couple of other products. These proved unsuccessful either because they exposed the email system to security vulnerabilities or were received negatively by end users.

The "Outside-In" Confidential Data Security Mode

Confidential data resides everywhere—from locked-down data centers to mobile devices—and is increasingly accessed by a wide range of constituents—from employees to contractors and business partners.
