What kind of detection techniques is being used in antivirus software that identifies malware by collecting data from multiple protected systems and instead of analyzing files locally it’s made on the provider’s environment?
Cloud-based antivirus relies on data collected from endpoint devices and sends that data to cloud servers for real-time malware analysis. This allows rapid updates and detection of new threats without waiting for local signature updates.

“Cloud-based detection systems analyze suspicious files and behaviors in the provider’s environment, enabling faster response and reduced endpoint resource usage.”

A. Behavioral-based detection monitors live activity locally.
