Polymorphic Code

The Shape-Shifting Threat in Cybersecurity

The field of Cybersecurity is always changing, and one of the biggest challenges is dealing with Polymorphic Code.

Traditional signature-based detection methods often fall short when faced with their ability to change form with each iteration.

Let’s examine polymorphic code, its mechanics, dangers, and strategies to defend against its unorthodox tactics.

What is Polymorphic Code?

Polymorphism, derived from the Greek words “poly” (many) and “morph” (form), is a concept prevalent in object-oriented programming.
