You Can't Discover a Malware Pandemic by Diagnosing One Patient
Examining one infected host cannot likely allow for the diagnoses of a global bacterial or viral outbreak. It takes the testing of multiple patients with similar symptoms, environmental conditions, and other commonalities to determine whether the infection affects only one host or threatens the global community.
The same can be said for malware. Security analysts and incident responders often find themselves at a disadvantage when it comes to determining attribution related to a particular infection. Generally speaking, a malware investigation is often limited to the systems owned by the individual or organization ' with limited visibility into the global community at large.
This presentation will introduce healthcare-related research conducted in 2014. In addition, several methodologies and freely available tools will be detailed to help better investigate whether you 're the victim of an opportunistic infection 'or 'Patient 0 ' in the next global malware pandemic.
