Abstract
A computerized method for analyzing an object is disclosed. The computerized method includes obtaining, by a cybersecurity system, an object and context information generated during a first malware analysis of the object conducted prior to obtaining the object. Thereafter, the cybersecurity system performs a second malware analysis of the object to determine a verdict indicating maliciousness of the object. The scrutiny of the second malware analysis is adjusted based, at least in part, the context information, which may include (i) activating additional or different monitors, (ii) adjusting thresholds for determining maliciousness, or (iii) applying a modified rule set during the second malware analysis based on the context information.
