Abstract
A method and apparatus for classifying behavior of an application based on its data access pattern is described. In one embodiment, the method includes monitoring file access events associated with an application, and determining whether at least one of the file access events indicates the application's attempt to manipulate data of a file. If at least one file access event indicates the application's attempt to manipulate the data within the file, then at least one action is caused to be performed.
