Abstract

Nowadays, malicious software attacks and threats against data and information security has become a complex process. The variety and number of these attacks and threats has resulted in providing various type of defending ways against them, but unfortunately current detection technologies are ineffective to cope with new techniques of malware designers which use them to escape from anti-malwares. In current research, we present a combination of static and dynamic methods to accelerate and improve malware detection process and to enable malware detection systems to detect malware with high precision, in less time and help network security experts to react well since time detection of security threats has a high importance in dealing with attacks.
