Abstract

A computer-implemented method of automatically securing a computer system or network against a suspect binary file (SBF) by, in response to detection of the SBF, initiating an automatic defence strategy comprising an action known to mitigate a known threat posed by a closest known malicious binary file (KMBF). The method further includes identifying the closest KMBF by comparing an SBF application programming interface (API) profile generated in respect of the SBF with respective KMBF API profiles generated in respect of each of a plurality of KMBFs, the SBF and KMBF API profiles being generated by: identifying any API calls in the respective binary file; and assigning each of said identified API calls to one of a plurality of API call categories defined by one or more actions known to be effective in mitigating one or more possible threats posed by the respective API call category.
