Introduction
The advancement of technology has paved the way for the development of sophisticated software systems that have revolutionized various industries. However, with the increasing complexity of software, the threat of malicious code has also become more prominent. Malicious code, also known as malware, poses a significant risk to the security and integrity of software systems, leading to data breaches, financial loss, and reputation damage for organizations. Traditional methods of detecting malicious code are no longer sufficient to combat the evolving tactics of cybercriminals. As a result, there is a growing interest in leveraging Artificial Intelligence (AI) techniques to enhance the detection and prevention of malicious code in software.
