Abstract
In one embodiment, a computer-implemented method for using customer context to detonate malware may be performed by one or more computing devices, each comprising one or more processors. The method may include receiving an artefact associated with a first device being targeted by malware, simulating in a controlled environment attributes of the first device based at least in part on the artefact, executing the malware in the controlled environment while the attributes of the first device are being simulated, and performing a security action with respect to the malware based at least in part on the execution of the malware in the controlled environment.
