Abstract
In some embodiments, an apparatus includes a memory and a processor. The processor is configured to extract a set of features from a potentially malicious file and provide the set of features as an input to a normalization layer of a neural network. The processor is configured to implement the normalization layer by calculating a set of parameters associated with the set of features and normalizing the set of features based on the set of parameters to define a set of normalized features. The processor is further configured to provide the set of normalized features and the set of parameters as inputs to an activation layer of the neural network such that the activation layer produces an output based on the set of normalized features and the set of parameters. The output can be used to produce a maliciousness classification of the potentially malicious file.
