Abstract
According to one embodiment, an apparatus comprises a detection engine and a classification engine. The detection engine is responsible for analyzing an object to determine if the object is malicious. The classification engine is configured to (i) receive results of the analysis of the object conducted by the detection engine and (ii) analyze, based at least in part on the results from the detection engine, whether the object is malicious in accordance with a predictive model. Responsive to the detection engine and the classification engine differing in determinations as to whether the object is malicious, information associated with at least a portion of the results of the analysis of the object by at least one of the detection engine and the classification engine is uploaded for determining whether an update of the predictive model is to occur. An update of the predictive model is subsequently received by the classification engine.
