  • Abstract
    We can mitigate the threat of mass malware by understanding the techniques, tactics, and procedures unique to this threat. An analysis of empirical attacker data indicates that basic, generic defenses, such as minor reductions of the attack surface and the use of available platform memory protection, are effective against mass malware.
