Abstract
A code segment executing on a compute instance may be identified as suspicious based on runtime behavior or similar behavioral analysis or the like. In order to ensure the identification and use of the most up-to-date identification and remediation tools, the compute instance may defer various remediation steps for an interval, during which the compute instance may wait for data updates from a threat management system. After the interval has passed, the compute instance may use any updated data or tools in order to address the code segment that triggered the initial malware detection.
