Abstract
A submission filtering component filters malware related content received for analysis. The submission filtering component determines an analysis priority rating for each source from which malware related content is received. An analysis priority ratings is based on various factors indicative of how likely the source is to transmit malware related content that is important to analyze. The malware filtering component transforms the received stream of malware related content into a subset to be analyzed, based on the analysis priority ratings associated with sources from which malware related content is received. A malware analysis component analyzes the subset of malware related content.
