Abstract
Techniques for identifying malicious downloadable applications are disclosed. In one particular exemplary embodiment, the techniques may be realized as a method for identifying malicious downloadable applications comprising receiving a signature of a downloadable application, identifying, using at least one computer processor, a known good application having at least one attribute in common with the downloadable application and having a signature different from the signature of the downloadable application, analyzing the downloadable application to evaluate one or more risk factors based at least in part on the at least one common attribute and the difference in signatures, and determining, based on the evaluated one or more risk factors, one or more responsive actions.
