Abstract
Particular embodiments described herein provide for an electronic device that can be configured to monitor activities of objects in a system, compare the monitored activities to metadata for the system, and identify low prevalence outliers to detect potentially malicious activity. The monitored activities can include an analysis of metadata of the objects in the system to identify polymorphic threats, an object reuse analysis of the system to detect an object reusing metadata from another object, and a filename analysis of the system.
