The paper "Advances in Malware Analysis and Detection in Cloud Computing Environments: A Review" by S. Madhusudhana Rao and Arpit Jain discusses the challenges and advancements in malware detection within cloud computing environments. Cloud computing, known for its efficiency, scalability, and reliability, faces significant security threats from malware attacks, particularly those that are metamorphic or encrypted. Traditional detection methods often struggle with these complex threats, leading to high false-positive rates. The authors highlight the importance of machine learning (ML) classifiers, which require extensive data to develop accurate models. They survey various malware analysis and detection models, emphasizing the need for innovative approaches to enhance detection rates and reduce false positives. The paper also introduces a cloud-based malware detection system that combines heuristics, deep learning, signatures, and behavior analysis to identify dangerous software. The authors conclude by discussing the limitations of current detection methods and proposing future research directions, including the development of more robust models and the integration of advanced technologies like deep learning and edge computing to improve malware detection in cloud environments.The paper "Advances in Malware Analysis and Detection in Cloud Computing Environments: A Review" by S.
