Abstract
A computer-implemented method includes accessing, by an analysis console, information related to a first file received at a first host of a plurality of hosts. Each host is capable of running a corresponding set of malware detection processes. The information includes: an identifier of the first file; and data indicating a first result of the first host applying the set of malware detection processes to the first file. The identifier is generated by the first host and is usable by each of the hosts to determine whether a second file comprises content substantially equivalent to content of the first file. The analysis console generates a first output including: the identifier of the first file; and a second result indicating whether the first file comprises malware. The second result is usable by each of the hosts to determine whether the second file comprises malware. The first output is propagated to the hosts.
