Abstract

Techniques for classifying non-process threats are disclosed. In one particular exemplary embodiment, the techniques may be realized as a method for classifying non-process threats comprising generating trace data of at least one observable event associated with execution of a process, representing a first feature of the at least one observable event of the trace data, calculating, using a computer processor, a similarity between the first feature and at least one sample feature, and classifying the process based on the similarity.
