Abstract
Exfiltration of sensitive data by malicious software or malware is a serious cyber threat around the world that has catastrophic effect on businesses, research organizations, national intelligence, as well as individuals. Thousands of cyber criminals attempt every day to attack computer systems by employing malicious software with an intention to breach crucial data, damage or manipulate data, or to make illegal financial transfers. Protection of this data is therefore, a critical concern in the research community. This manuscript aims to propose a comprehensive framework to classify and detect malicious software to protect sensitive data against malicious threats using data mining and machine learning classification techniques. In this work, we employ a robust and efficient approach for malware classification and detection by analyzing both signature-based and anomaly-based features. Experimental results confirm the superiority of the proposed approach over other similar methods.

Other | The 2017 International Conference on Applications and Techniques in Cyber Intelligence (ATCI), building on the previous successes in Guangzhou, China (2016), Dallas, USA (2015), Beijing, China (2014), and Sydney, Australia (2013), is proud to be in the 5th consecutive conference year. Previously, the event is known as the International Workshop on Applications and Techniques in Cyber Security (ATCS 2016), held in conjunction with the International Conference on Security and Privacy in Communication Networks (SecureComm). The 2017 International Conference on Applications and Techniques in Cyber Security and Intelligence focuses on all aspects on techniques and applications in cyber and electronics security and intelligence research. The purpose of ATCI 2017 is to provide a forum for presentation and discussion of innovative ideas, cutting edge research results, and novel techniques, methods and applications on all aspects of cyber and electronics security and intelligence. |
