Abstract
Malware detection for cloud systems has been studied extensively, and many different approaches have been developed and implemented in an effort to stay ahead of this ever-evolving threat. Malware refers to any programme or defect that is designed to duplicate itself or cause damage to the system's hardware or software. These attacks are designed specifically to cause harm to operational systems, but they are invisible to the human eye. One of the most exciting developments in data storage and service delivery today is cloud computing. There are significant benefits to be gained over more conventional protection methods by making use of this fast evolving technology to protect computer-based systems from cyber-related threats. Assets to be secured may reside in any networked computing environment, including but not limited to Cyber Physical Systems (CPS), critical systems, fixed and portable computers, mobile devices, and the Internet of Things (IoT). Malicious software or malware refers to any programme that intentionally compromises a computer system in order to compromise its security, privacy, or availability. A cloud-based intelligent behavior analysis model for malware detection system using feature set is proposed to identify the ever-increasing malware attacks. The suggested system begins by collecting malware samples from several virtual machines, from which unique characteristics can be extracted easily. Then, the malicious and safe samples are separated using the features provided to the learning-based and rule-based detection agents. To generate a relevant feature set for accurate malware detection, this research proposes an Intellectual Feature Ranking Model with Correlated Feature Set (IFR-CFS) model using enhanced logistic regression model for accurate detection of malware in the cloud environment. The proposed model when compared to the traditional feature selection model, performs better in generation of feature set for accurate detection of malware.
