A management framework for developing a malware eradication and remediation system to mitigate cyberattacks

Abstract

Malware threats are a persistent problem that interrupts the regular utilization of IT devices. For effective prevention of malware infections in computer system, development of a malware mitigation system needs to be developed. Malware mitigation system should encompass a thorough technical and management outlook to achieve an effective result. A Management Framework should thus be put in place to facilitate better management and effective outcomes of such a system. This research presents the identification, formulation and proposal of a Management Framework for the development of a malware eradication and remediation system to mitigate cyberattacks. The aim of this research is to construct a Management Framework that allows for the effective development of a malware eradication and remediation system. The method used in this work is qualitative research (observation and interviews) at organizations that have implemented similar systems. The framework covers specific areas that refer to the management of people, process and technology in designing a malware eradication and remediation system.
