Thus, considering some truths already well-known to security practitioners, it might appear quite strange to see a panel entitled, “The Death of Signature-Based AV: How to Stop Today and Tomorrow’s Malware.” We already know that malware volume is growing exponentially, and that just as technology has evolved, the number of threats and the means by which they are delivered have also changed over the years, so one-is-to-one signatures are no longer effective overall.
