Malware Analysis and Mitigation in Information Preservation
Journal Title: IOSR Journals (IOSR Journal of Electrical and Electronics Engineering) - Year 2018, Vol 13, Issue 4
Abstract
Malware, also known as malicious software affects the user’s computer system or mobile devices by exploiting the system’s vulnerabilities. It is the major threat to the security of information in the computer systems. Some of the types of malware that are most commonly used are viruses, worms, Trojans, etc. Nowadays, there is a widespread use of malware which allows malware author to get sensitive information like bank details, contact information, which is a serious threat in the world. Most of the malwares are spread through internet because of its frequent use which can destroy large information in any system. Malwares from their early designs which were just for propagation have now developed into more advanced form, stealing sensitive and private information. Hence, this work focuses on analyzing the malware in a restricted environment and how information can be preserved. So, in other to address the negative effects of malicious software, we discussed some of the malware analysis methods which was used to analyze the software in an effective manner and helped us to controlthem. Various malware detection coupled with malware propagation techniques were also highlighted. This work was concluded by examining malware mitigation strategies which can help us protect our system’s information.
