Abstract: The cyber threat identification and analytics (“CTIA”) apparatuses, methods and systems, for example, identify a list of relevant malware indicators of compromise (IOCs) during a cyber security incident. The CTIA system automatically groups relevant malware IOCs from all known samples of a particular threat, given either a threat or a specific IOC without knowing the threat. In this way, an incident responder can use the group of relevant malware IOCs to have the highest probability of locating infections of variations of malware of the particular threat.
