Abstract
In certain embodiments, a method includes receiving, at a first malware detection node, from a malware detection system a request to apply a first malware detection technique to a file. The malware detection system is configured to determine whether the file is suspected malware by analyzing a plurality of predefined result states received in response to the first malware detection node applying the first malware detection technique to the file and a second malware detection node applying a second malware detection technique to the file. The method includes receiving at least one result from a malware detection engine of applying the first malware detection technique to the file and determining at least one predefined result state based on the received at least one result. The method includes reporting, by the first malware detection node, the at least one predefined result state to the malware detection system.
