Abstract
The disclosed computer-implemented method for adjusting behavioral detection heuristics may include (1) configuring a behavioral detection heuristic to provide an initial level of malicious behavior detection on a computing system, (2) using the behavioral detection heuristic at the initial level of malicious behavior detection to detect at least two security threats on the computing system, (3) determining that the time between the security threats is shorter than a predetermined length of time, and (4) in response to determining that the time between the security threats is shorter than the predetermined length of time, adjusting the behavioral detection heuristic to provide a heightened level of malicious behavior detection that is configured to catch at least one additional security threat that may not be caught using the initial level of malicious behavior detection. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.
