Abstract
Described systems and methods protect electronic devices such as smartphones and IoT devices against malicious software. In some embodiments, a malware detector comprises a stack/cascade of feature processors configured to determine a set of derived feature values according to primary features characterizing software executing on the respective device, and further comprises a synthesizer module configured to determine whether the client device comprises malware according to the derived feature values. When a derived feature value is currently unavailable or cannot be computed, some embodiments supply a surrogate value to replace the missing derived feature value, thus ensuring that the malware detector can always produce a verdict.
