Top 10 Reasons Why Security Software Fails

Present-day malware is groundbreaking enough to slip under the radar of traditional defenses. Cybercriminals have plenty of time and resources to test their perpetrating code extensively.

Unfortunately, antivirus vendors are a step behind when it comes to identifying such high-profile infections. The payload for the Angler exploit kit, for instance, can go undetected on a targeted host for two days on average.
