Malware is any software intentionally designed to damage, disrupt, or gain unauthorized access to computer systems, including viruses, worms, trojans, ransomware, and spyware. Cybersecurity professionals study malware to understand attack techniques, reverse-engineer malicious code, and build defenses against it. Knowledge of malware behavior is essential for roles in incident response, threat intelligence, and security operations.
