ICIT Analysis: Signature Based Malware Detection is Dead

Signature and behavioral based anti-malware are no match for next generation adversaries who utilize mutating hashes, sophisticated obfuscation mechanisms, self-propagating malware, and intelligent malware components. In this analysis, entitled "Signature Based Malware Detection is Dead," the Institute for Critical Infrastructure Technology provides a thought-provoking analysis of the necessity for critical infrastructure sectors to adopt advanced machine learning and artificial intelligence based solutions to defend against a hyper-evolving adversary.
