The malware arms race

Abstract

It seems that the battle with malware never ends. While our technologies and processes evolve rapidly to deal with it, so too do those of the attackers. Our defences are never perfectly implemented and human behaviour will always remain a weak spot. But as Brian Hussey, VP of cyber threat detection and response at Trustwave SpiderLabs, points out in this interview, the situation is being made more difficult through cyber-criminals adopting ever more cunning methods of sliding by anti-malware protections.
