Abstract
Techniques for detecting anomalous network traffic are disclosed. In one particular embodiment, the techniques may be realized as a method for detecting anomalous network traffic comprising the steps of receiving a list including a plurality of processes and, for each process, a list of approved types of network traffic; monitoring network traffic of each process on the list of processes; upon detecting network traffic for a process on the list of processes, determining that the type of network traffic detected is not on the list of approved types for that process; and identifying the process as infected based on determining that the type of network traffic detected is not on the list of approved types for that process.
