Mitigating Malware Risks

Abstract

Defending Computing Systems for malware today has become increasingly difficult. The constantly changing state of the interest has left many ways of malware writers to compromise a computer or network, leaving a significant security risk. Spread virus attacks are capable of damaging global economies. To design effective system, one has to understand malware (malicious software) engineering to detect and contain virus, worms and other harmful codes.

This lecture encompasses security threats and countermeasures by understanding Malware engineering and the techniques that can be deployed to prevent, contain, or slow the spread of malware.
