Abstract

Systems and methods to automatically generate signatures used to detect malware are provided. The systems and methods use machine learning techniques, to build an over-trained heuristic model to analyze software, cluster identified patterns, validate the clusters against known reputational metrics, automatically create signatures and, in some examples, deploy such signatures to remote computing devices.
