The Crytica RDA Principles of Malware Detection
Experience and common sense teach us that:
- The previously documented malware attacks of the past are very poor predictors of what new malware will be.
- Malware detection systems cannot assume that they will not be attacked and compromised.
- Malware detection systems cannot consume so many resources that they are either unable to operate continuously and/or not operate at all in highly resource constrained environments.
For malware detection to be successful it must:
- Be able to detect new malware attacks,
- Be highly resilient to attacks against itself,
- Be able to operate efficiently and continuously in highly resource-constrained environments.
Those are the Crytica Rapid Detection & Alert (RDA) System’s guiding paradigm and principles.
