Did you know that online transactions are under constant threat from new malware variants?
In today’s digital landscape, where banking and financial institutions handle billions of transactions daily, the proliferation of new malware variants presents a grave security challenge. Traditional approaches to identifying and defending against malware are no longer sufficient, as these variants propagate rapidly and can cause extensive damage.
To safeguard online transactions effectively, banks must adopt proactive threat detection systems and establish robust incident response protocols. This article delves into the nature of new malware variants, explains the importance of malware classification, and highlights how Cleafy leverages real-time artificial intelligence for instant classification of these new and dangerous threats.
What are New Malware Variants?
New malware variants are completely new versions of malware that have not been discovered or analyzed by security researchers or antivirus companies. This makes them highly dangerous, as traditional security measures may not be equipped to identify or defend against them.
These variants are distributed through various vectors such as malicious email attachments, compromised websites, and phishing attacks. Cybercriminals utilize these distribution vectors to infect devices and gain control over them. Once the malware gains control of a device, it can perpetrate fraud by stealing sensitive data and credentials, reading OTP codes, or tampering with transactions.
To effectively defend against new malware variants, organizations need to employ advanced threat detection techniques. This includes the use of behavior-based analysis and anomaly detection supported by dedicated machine learning (ML) and artificial intelligence (AI) engines. These advanced threat detection techniques enable organizations to identify and neutralize new malware variants, protecting their systems and safeguarding sensitive data from cybercriminals.
