A comprehensive cybersecurity platform includes a cybersecurity intelligence hub, a cybersecurity sensor and one or more endpoints communicatively coupled to the cybersecurity sensor, where the platform allows for efficient scaling, analysis, and detection of malware and/or malicious activity. An endpoint includes a local data store and an agent that monitors for one or more types of events being performed on the endpoint, and performs deduplication within the local data store to identify “distinct” events. The agent provides the collected metadata of distinct events to the cybersecurity sensor which also performs deduplication within a local data store. The cybersecurity sensor sends all distinct events and/or file objects to a cybersecurity intelligence hub for analysis. The cybersecurity intelligence hub is coupled to a data management and analytics engine (DMAE) that analyzes the event and/or object using multiple services to render a verdict (e.g., benign or malicious) and issues an alert.
