Abstract
A method and system for updating and applying a ruleset used for determining and mitigating malware threats. Communications of computing devices are monitored and first data file extracted. A first and second set of features are extracted. A first rule is applied to the first set of features of the first data file to determine a non-match. A second rule is applied to the second set of features to determine a match. A third rule is generated based on the first set of features, non-match, and match. Communications of a particular computing device are monitored and second data file extracted. A first set of features of the second data file are extracted. The third rule is applied to the first set of features of the second data file to determine a match. The second data file is disabled, blocked, or deleted based the match determination by the third rule.
