Malware - malicious software in IT/OT systems

s. 170-182 DOI: 10.17274/AEZ.2016.26.09

Abstract

The article presents a survey on IT/OT security threats related to malicious software. The review relates to the threats along with their evolution over time as well as means to mitigate them. Not only theoretic approach has been presented, but solutions available on the market and best practices as well. The paper also considers the security of IT/OT systems interconnection.
