Malware Automation
Automation in the context of malware refers to the use of automated tools and techniques by both cybercriminals and cybersecurity professionals. Cybercriminals use automation to propagate malware, carry out attacks more efficiently, and evade detection. On the other hand, cybersecurity professionals use automation to detect and respond to malware threats more quickly and accurately.
Automation in Malware Propagation
Cybercriminals often use automated tools to propagate malware. These tools can perform tasks such as scanning for vulnerable systems, exploiting those vulnerabilities to deliver malware, and managing infected systems.
Automation in Malware Detection and Response
Cybersecurity professionals use automation to improve their ability to detect and respond to malware. Automated tools can analyze vast amounts of data to identify potential threats, correlate data from different sources to detect complex attacks, and respond to detected threats more quickly than human analysts could.
