Malware protection refers to the tools, practices, and strategies used to detect, prevent, and remove malicious software from systems and networks, including antivirus software, endpoint detection and response (EDR) tools, and behavioral analysis. IT security professionals implement malware protection through layered defenses such as firewalls, sandboxing, patch management, and user training. This is a core competency for cybersecurity analysts, system administrators, and IT support staff.
