Abstract
A scalable, malware detection system features at least one sensor and a cluster including at least one computing node. The computing node includes an analysis coordination system and an object analysis system. The analysis coordination system, when activated as a broker computing node, (i) receives metadata from a sensor, (ii) analyzes the metadata, and (iii) places at least a portion of the metadata into a data store for subsequent use in retrieval of the suspicious object by the object analysis system from the sensor. The object analysis system is configured to (i) retrieve the portion of the metadata, which includes at least a sensor identifier, from the data store, (ii) retrieve the suspicious object from the sensor using at least part of the portion of the metadata retrieved from the data store, and (iii) analyze the suspicious object for malware.
