摘要：The increase of malware attacks may increase risk in information technology industry such as Industrial Revolution 4.0 that consists of multiple sectors especially in cyber security. Because of that malware detection technique plays vital role in detecting malware attack that can give high impact towards the cyber world. In accordance with the technique, one of unsupervised machine learning able to detect malware attack by identifying the behavior of the malware; which called clustering technique. Owing to this matter, current research shows a paucity of analysis in detecting malware behavior and limited source that can be used in identifying malware attacks. Thus, this paper introduce clustering detection model by using K-Means clustering approach to detect malware behavior of data registry based on the features of the malware. Clustering techniques that use unsupervised algorithm in machine learning plays an important role in grouping similar malware characteristics by studying the behavior of the malware. Throughout the experiment, malware features were selected and extracted from computer registry data and eventually used in the proposed clustering detection model to be clustered as normal or suspicious behavior. The results of the experiment indicates that this proposed model is capable to cluster normal and suspicious data into two separate groups with high detection rate which is more than 90 percent accuracy. Ultimately, the main contribution based on the findings is the proposed framework can be used to cluster the data with the use of data registry to detect malware.
