Abstract

A nested file having a primary file and at least one secondary file embedded therein is parsed using at least one parser of a cell. The cell assigns a maliciousness score to each of the parsed primary file and each of the parsed at least one secondary file. Thereafter, the cell generates an overall maliciousness score for the nested file that indicates a level of confidence that the nested file contains malicious content. The overall maliciousness score is provided to a data consumer indicating whether to proceed with consuming the data contained within the nested file.
