Abstract
A method for detecting malicious code fragments based on data-flow isolation is provided. The method may include isolating data flows associated with a computing program for a user device. The method may further include mapping steps for the isolated data flow to modules associated with the computing program and the user device. The method may further include comparing the mapped steps to determine connections between the isolated data flows. The method may further include, based on the comparison of the mapped steps and the modules, determining whether the isolated data flows comprise malicious data flow deviations. The method may also include, in response to the determination that the isolated data flows comprise malicious data flow deviations, determining whether the computer program is malicious by weighing security risks associated with the malicious data flow deviations based on security risk factors.
