Abstract
Described systems and methods protect client devices such as personal computers and IoT devices against malicious software. In some embodiments, a plurality of client devices report the occurrence of various events to a security server, each such event caused by a local instance of a target application (e.g., mobile app) executing on a respective device. The security server then collates the behavior of the respective target application across the plurality of client devices. Some embodiments compute an aggregate event set and/or sequence combining events detected on one device with events detected on other devices, and determine whether the target application is malicious according to the aggregate event set/sequence.
