Abstract

Disclosed herein are systems and method for malicious behavior detection in processing chains comprising identifying a chain of related processes executing on a computing device; for each respective process in the chain of related processes: monitoring events generated by the respective process; storing snapshots of data modified by any of the events; determining a level of suspicion for the respective process by applying an artificial intelligence (AI) model to the snapshots of data; determining whether the chain of related processes is trusted based on the determined levels of suspicion; and in response to determining that the chain of related processes is not trusted, restoring objects affected by the chain from the snapshots.
