Abstract
According to one embodiment, an apparatus comprises a processor and memory. Communicatively coupled to the processor, the memory includes a detection module that, when executed, conducts an analysis of a received object to determine if the received object is associated with a malicious attack. The detection module is configurable, and thus, certain capabilities can be enabled, disabled or modified. The analysis is to be altered upon receipt of a configuration file that includes information to alter one or more rules controlling the analysis conducted by the detection module.
