  • Patent number: 11880455
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are methods and systems for selecting a detection model for detection of a malicious file. An exemplary method includes: monitoring a file during execution of the file within a computer system by intercepting commands of the file being executed and determining one or more parameters of the intercepted commands. A behavior log of the file being executed containing behavioral data is formed based on the intercepted commands and based on the one or more parameters of the intercepted commands. The behavior log is analyzed to form a feature vector. The feature vector characterizes the behavioral data. One or more detection models are selected from a database of detection models based on the feature vector. Each of the one or more detection models includes a decision-making rule for determining a degree of maliciousness of the file being executed.
