Abstract
A computer-implemented method for file classification may include (1) identifying, by a computer security system, a cluster of files that co-occur with each other according to a statistical analysis, (2) identifying ground truth files to which the computer security system has previously assigned a security score, (3) determining that a file in the cluster of files shares an item of file metadata with another file in the ground truth files, (4) assigning a security score to the file in the cluster of files based on a security score of the other file in the ground truth files that shares the item of file metadata, and (5) assigning an overall security score to the entire cluster of files based on the security score assigned to the file in the cluster. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.
