Abstract

Digital transformation has revolutionized human life but also brought many cybersecurity challenges for users and enterprises. The major threats that affect computers and communication systems by damaging devices and stealing sensitive information are malicious attacks. Traditional anti-virus software fails to detect advanced kind of malware. Current research focuses on developing machine learning techniques for malware detection to respond in a timely manner. Many systems have been evolved and improved to distinguish the malware based on analysis behavior. The analysis behavior is considered a robust technique to detect, analyze, and classify malware, categorized into two models: a static and dynamic analysis. Both types of previous analysis have advantages and limitations. Therefore, the hybrid method combines the strength of static and dynamic analyses. This chapter conducted a systematic literature review (SLR) to summarize and analyze the quality of published studies in malware detection using machine learning techniques and hybrid analysis that range from 2016 to 2021.
