Abstract
A system and method for generating an alert regarding a potential attack is described. The method involves receiving data associated with previously analyzed or known malware attacks by a first network device. Additionally, the first network device receives an attack alert associated with an object analyzed and identified as suspicious by a second network device. The attack alert includes information associated with the suspicious object. For alert generation, at least a portion of the information of the attack alert is provided to a system configured to at least (i) extract feature(s) from the attack alert, (ii) determine similarities between the extracted features and features associated with the previously analyzed or known malware attacks to determine a result, (iv) compute an attack value based on the result and at least a portion of the extracted features including time-dependent and/or independent features, and (v) generate an alert based on the attack value.
