QuestionQ3

Endpoint Security

What are two constraints of signature-based anti-malware software?

Choose two
  • A It is unable to detect polymorphic malware.
  • B It requires samples to be buffered.
  • C It uses a static file for comparing potential threats.
  • D It only uses packet header information.
Explanation

Signature-based detection matches observed artifacts against predefined signatures of known threats. Polymorphic malware can alter its representation to evade those fixed signatures, and a static signature file must be maintained and cannot recognize malware for which no matching signature exists.
