Abstract
Systems and methods are disclosed for monitoring executable software applications on a computer network. Executable software applications and data files may be monitored by a risk monitoring system. The executable software application and data files may attempt to access a computer network and/or a computing device and a monitoring process may identify risks associated with the executable software application and/or data file. A suspicious characteristic of the executable software application may be identified during the monitoring process. The suspicious characteristic may be malware and may be neutralized before it causes damage to the computer network and/or computing device.
