Poster: Ensemble malware analysis for evaluating the integrity of mission critical devices poster

Abstract

The rapid evolution of technology in our sociality has brought great advantages, but at the same time it has increased the cybersecurity threats associated with a constantly expanded surface exposure. At the forefront of these threats is the proliferation of malware from traditional computing platforms to the rapidly expanding Internet-of-things. Our premise is that malware needs to be detected as soon as possible to prevent extensive consequence linked to the fulfillment of its malicious activity. Our proposed framework analyzes task structure features as well as the system calls and memory access patterns made by a process to determine its validity and integrity. The proposed scheme would use all three approaches applying an ensemble technique to detect malware.
