The identified process binaries are classified into a plurality of classes of matching process binaries, and for a given class, a count of the computing devices that that executed one of the process binaries of the given class is computed. When determining that the count of the computing devices is less than a predefined threshold, a preventive action is initiated to inhibit command and control (C2) channel transmissions from any of the computing devices that executed any of the process binaries of the given class.
