Detection is

the active and passive monitoring of an operational environment for radio frequency, electro-optical, laser, infrared, and ultraviolet electromagnetic threats.

[d]evelopment and implementation of the appropriate activities in order to identify the occurrence of a cyber event.[2]

Malware[]

Detection is

the process whereby a service provider or end-user comes to be aware that a particular system or device has been infected with malicious software. A service provider may detect that a system has become infected many different ways, including as a result of receiving complaints from third parties about spam, network scanning, or attacks that have been sourced from that system. End-users may detect system infections through software tools or other means.[3]
