Abstract
In one aspect, a method includes creating a polymorphic variant of a sample of malware, analyzing the polymorphic variant of the sample of malware by a security management service to determine if the polymorphic variant of the sample of malware evades detection by the security management service, when the security management service fails to detect the polymorphic variant during the analysis of the polymorphic variant, detonating the polymorphic variant in a virtualized environment to identify characterizations of the polymorphic variant, and training the security management service to detect the polymorphic variant based on the characterizations.
