Behavioral-based Malware Detection Techniques: System Calls

Discuss the application of System Call analysis, which is a behavioral-based Malware detection technique, and its advantage over the traditional signature-based Malware-detection techniques. In this session, we will take a deeper look into how experienced Malware authors deploy sophisticated techniques to propagate their malicious software to the target victims and evade detection. The discussion will give an overview of how traditional defenses are failing to protect from Malware attacks, as adversaries are getting smarter every day. The discussion will focus on how behavioral-based techniques such as ‘System Calls' can be applied to detect and eliminate malware, based on the requested processes from the system.
