“You’re seeing more data collection happening at the network level, where you’re trying to use a lot of information from a security point that we didn’t used to be able to use,” Miller told the news source.
Miller told IDG that one company he works with has started to view malware as a “Big Data problem.” The company developed a new program that looks at malware signatures and patterns to see what it looks like across the world. This also gives companies history lessons, showing how malware response could have been improved.
