Description: Malware as a Service (MaaS) refers to the practice of providing malware to customers in exchange for a fee. This business model has emerged in the cybercriminal ecosystem, allowing individuals or groups with limited technical skills to access sophisticated attack tools. MaaS facilitates the creation and distribution of malware, offering everything from exploit kits to ransomware, all under a subscription or pay-per-use scheme. This approach democratizes access to cyberattacks, enabling even those without technical experience to carry out malicious activities. Additionally, MaaS may include technical support and updates, making it an attractive option for cybercriminals. In the context of cybersecurity, this phenomenon poses a significant challenge for defense teams (Blue Team), who must remain constantly updated and prepared to counter emerging threats stemming from these services. The proliferation of MaaS has led to an increase in the sophistication of attacks, forcing organizations to invest more in security measures and in training their incident response teams.
