Cloud-based Detection Techniques for Botnets and Malware - AppSecEU 2014

Explore cloud-based detection techniques for botnets and other malware in this informative conference talk from AppSecEU 2014. Delve into the limitations of traditional signature-based malware detection methods and discover how cloud-based traffic analysis can provide pre-infection detection. Learn about the communication patterns of botnets and their potential for launching DDoS attacks against IoT devices and Smart Cities. Examine the advantages of cloud-centric traffic-based detection in complementing traditional anti-malware approaches. Gain insights into the emerging threat of malware in virtual environments and the need for new detection techniques in data center infrastructure. Follow speaker Mark Graham, a PhD student at Anglia Ruskin University, as he covers topics including malware evolution, botnet detection methods, fluxing, correlation, and the challenges posed by virtual environments in cybersecurity.
