Abstract
A computer system automatically learns which application behavior constitutes 'multi-use' behavior by observing the behavior of applications on a network. The system uses this learned knowledge to automatically identify multi-use behavior in new applications that appear on the network. When the system enforces security policies against applications on the network, it identifies whether particular behavior of such applications violates any of the security policies. In this way, the system adapts automatically to new behavior of applications on the network over time in order to increase network security.
