CloudAV: N-Version Antivirus in the Network Cloud
Overview Antivirus software is one of the most widely used tools for detecting and stopping malicious and unwanted files. However, the long term effectiveness of traditional host-based antivirus is questionable. Antivirus software fails to detect many modern threats and its increasing complexity has resulted in vulnerabilities that are being exploited by malware. This paper advocates a new model for malware detection on end hosts based on providing antivirus as an in-cloud network service. This paper enables identification of malicious and unwanted software by multiple, heterogeneous detection engines in parallel, a technique they term 'N-version protection'. This paper provides several important benefits including better detection of malicious software, enhanced forensics capabilities, retrospective detection, and improved deployability and management.
