AGENDA
•Develop a system that automatically identifies and classifies malware
with high accuracy.

•Utilize machine learning models to analyze patterns and behaviors


indicative of malicious software.

•Enhance detection capabilities beyond traditional signature-based


methods.

BACKGROUND AND
MOTIVATION
Traditional malware detection methods rely heavily on
signature-based techniques, which are often ineffective
against new and sophisticated malware variants.

The rapid evolution of malware necessitates adaptive and


intelligent detection systems.

Machine learning offers a promising solution by automating


and improving malware detection through pattern
recognition and predictive analysis.

LITERATURE REVIEW

• Studies have demonstrated the effectiveness of machine learning in


enhancing malware detection accuracy and efficiency.

• Research indicates that automated systems can process vast


amounts of data to discern between benign and malicious files,
addressing the limitations of traditional methods.

• Deep learning models, particularly neural networks, have shown


promise in detecting complex malware patterns.
