Abstract
As malware threats become increasingly complex, the development of advanced detection systems is necessary to protect digital assets. SecureML Using Machine Learning presents an innovative approach to combat the escalating threat of malicious software by leveraging machine learning algorithms. This research paper outlines the design, implementation, and evaluation of SecureML, emphasizing its effectiveness in detecting both known and novel malware strains. Through comprehensive feature selection techniques and algorithmic comparison, SecureML identifies crucial features and selects the Random Forest algorithm as the most effective for malware detection, achieving an impressive accuracy rate of 99.40% on the test set. The system's low false positive and false negative rates validate its robustness and reliability in accurately distinguishing between benign and malicious files. SecureML demonstrates significant potential in bolstering cybersecurity defenses and safeguarding digital assets against evolving malware threats.
