Abstract:
Computerized techniques to determine and verify maliciousness of an object by a security logic engine are described. A method features receiving information pertaining to a first set of events associated with a first object (first information) from an endpoint and information pertaining to a second set of events associated with a second object (second information) from an analysis system. Thereafter, the likelihood of the cyber-attack being conducted on the network is determined by at least correlating the first information and the second information with at least events associated with known malicious objects. Any endpoint vulnerable to the cyber-attack are identified based on a configuration of each of the plurality of endpoints and requesting the analysis system to conduct one or more further analyses in accordance with at least a software profile identified in a configuration of the first endpoint of the plurality of endpoints identified as vulnerable.
