摘要

The rapid growth of digital content and connected devices has led to unprecedented data flow demands across global networks, giving rise to new cybersecurity challenges. The increasing frequency of data breaches and the proliferation of diverse malware, particularly targeting IoT devices, underscore the urgent need for advanced security solutions to address the evolving threat landscape. This paper introduces an advanced malware detection framework that integrates Federated Learning with Trend Micro Locality Sensitive Hashing (TLSH) clustering to enhance malware detection. By leveraging the decentralized nature of Federated Learning and the clustering capabilities of TLSH, the proposed method improves detection accuracy while preserving data privacy. Experimental evaluations on the Tritium and Inferno malware datasets demonstrate the model’s ability to deliver highly accurate malware classification, making it scalable for a wide range of contemporary cybersecurity environments.
