Malware Detection: 10 Techniques – CrowdStrike

Malware detection is a defensive approach involving techniques and tools to recognize and prevent malware damage. Techniques include signature-based detection, static file analysis, dynamic malware analysis, monitoring of mass file operations, use of file extensions blocklists, application allowlists, malware honeypots, checksumming, file entropy measurement, and machine learning behavioral analysis. Although these techniques are effective in detecting and blocking malware, they require regular updates and improvements to keep pace with evolving cyber threats.
