4. Malware Reports

Malware Reports track the output of antivirus or anti‐malware scans on servers. Common tools include:

  • ClamAV (open‐source antivirus)
  • Rootkit detection scripts
Use Cases 
  1. Detecting Server Malware: A CLAMAV scan detects malware in email attachments. Security isolates the files and marks the report as "In progress" for further analysis.
  2. Rootkit Detection: A ROOTKIT scan finds hidden malicious processes. Engineers remove the infected files and mark the report as "Resolved".
  3. Scheduled Security Checks: Weekly malware scans report no issues. Security logs the "Found = false" status and archives the report.
  4. Emergency Malware Response: Malware is detected during a live incident. The security team performs an immediate investigation, quarantines infected files, and completes a system clean-up.
