Abstract
The disclosed computer-implemented method for detecting security threats may include (1) detecting, by a software security program, a security incident at a client device such that the software security program generates a signature report to identify the security incident, (2) querying an association database with the signature report to deduce another signature report that a different software security program would have predictably generated at the client device, the different software security program having been unavailable at the client device at a time of detecting the security incident, and (3) performing at least one protective action to protect the client device from a security threat associated with the security incident based on the other signature report deduced by querying the association database. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.
