Abstract
Signature compilation on a security device is disclosed. A first set of malware signatures is received. The first set of signatures is compiled at a first time. A second set of malware signatures is received. The second set of signatures is compiled at a second time that is different from the first time. A determination of whether a file is malicious is made based at least in part by performing a scan using the first and second compiled signatures.
