Malware Inspection: The process of examining files or systems for the presence of malicious software. It can involve a range of techniques, from simple signature-based detection (matching files against a database of known malware) to more sophisticated behavioral or heuristic analysis (looking for abnormal behavior or characteristics that suggest malware). Regular and thorough malware inspections are key for maintaining system health and integrity. Malware inspection can also use real-time monitoring and automated response tools.
