US Patent 11632392 Distributed malware detection system and submission workflow thereof

As described, a cloud-based enrollment service is configured to advertise features and capabilities of clusters performing malware analyses within a cloud-based malware detection system. Upon receiving an enrollment request message, including tenant credentials associated with a sensor having an object to be analyzed for malware, the cloud-based enrollment service is configured to use the tenant credentials to authenticate the sensor and determine a type of subscription assigned to the sensor. Thereafter, the cloud-based enrollment service is further configured to transmit an enrollment response message including a portion of the advertised features and capabilities of a selected cluster of the cloud-based malware detection system. The advertised features and capabilities includes information to enable the sensor to establish direct communications with the selected cluster.
