US Patent 11552962 Computer assisted identification of intermediate level threats

An ensemble of detection techniques are used to identify code that presents intermediate levels of threat. For example, an ensemble of machine learning techniques may be used to evaluate suspiciousness based on binaries, file paths, behaviors, reputations, and so forth, and code may be sorted into safe, unsafe, intermediate, or any similar categories. By filtering and prioritizing intermediate threats with these tools, human threat intervention can advantageously be directed toward code samples and associated contexts most appropriate for non-automated responses.
