Abstract
An electronic threat mitigation method is provided. A first rule for identifying application code is obtained, and a rule update for identifying application code is generated. An abstract syntax tree of the first rule is generated, the abstract syntax tree including a plurality of nodes. The rule update is incorporated into a first node of the plurality of nodes to generate a second rule for identifying application code, the first node at a first depth on the abstract syntax tree. The second rule is applied to a plurality of application code samples to determine a coverage of the second rule, and the first rule is updated as the second rule based on the coverage of the second rule and the first depth. A notification is provided or a data file is disabled, blocked, or deleted based on application of the second rule.
