Abstract
The disclosed computer-implemented method for determining the trustworthiness of files within organizations may include (1) identifying a file on a computing device within multiple computing devices managed by an organization, (2) in response to identifying the file, identifying at least one additional computing device within the multiple computing devices that is potentially associated with the file, (3) distributing at least a portion of the file to a user of the additional computing device with a request to receive an indication of the trustworthiness of the file, and then (4) receiving, from the additional computing device, a response that indicates the trustworthiness of the file. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.
