Abstract
System and method for detecting a likely threat from a malicious attack is disclosed. Communication between a user computer and a destination computer is monitored by a security appliance. Selective information from the communication is extracted. One or more weak signals of a threat is detected based on the selective information. One or more weak signals are evaluated for a likely threat based on a threshold value. A corrective action is initiated for the likely threat, based on the evaluation.
