Patent attributes
Systems, methods, and apparatuses enable optimizing a size of computer threat signature libraries used by computer security applications to detect potential occurrences of computer and network security threats. In an embodiment, a threat signature is a pattern used by a computer security application to detect instances of potential security threats. A threat signature library is a collection of individual threat signatures, the library used in conjunction with a threat library to enable detecting a range of threats to computing devices and networks (e.g., various known viruses, malware, spam, types of network-based attacks, etc.). Based on profile information collected for a computing device, a security orchestrator optimizes the size of security threat signature libraries to be used to provide security services to the device.
