Abstract
A computer-implemented method for predicting security threats may include (1) predicting that a candidate security target is an actual target of a specific security attack according to a non-collaborative-filtering calculation, (2) predicting that the candidate security target is an actual target of a set of multiple specific security attacks, including the specific security attack, according to a collaborative filtering calculation, (3) filtering, based on the specific security attack also being predicted by the non-collaborative-filtering calculation, the specific security attack from the set of multiple specific security attacks predicted by the collaborative filtering calculation, and (4) notifying the candidate security target to perform a security action to protect itself from another specific security attack remaining in the filtered set of multiple specific security attacks based on an analysis of the filtered set of multiple specific security attacks. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.
