Title: 
Automated Malware Analysis

 

Abstract: 

Malicious software (malware) is an important threat and root cause of
many security problems on the Internet. In this talk, I will discuss
our recent efforts on malware analysis, detection, and
mitigation. First, I will introduce our infrastructure to collect and
analyze malicious code samples. Then, I will present techniques to
improve the quality of the results produced by automated, dynamic
malware analysis systems. Finally, I will discuss ways in which these
results can be leveraged for the detection and mitigation of malicious
code.
