Abstract

See full text

A method and system for the classification of software in networked systems, includes: determining a software received by a sensor is attempting to execute on a computer system of the sensor; classifying the software as authorized or unauthorized to execute, and gathering information on the software by the sensor if the software is classified as unauthorized to execute. The sensor sends the information on the software to one or more actuators, which determine whether or not to act on one or more targets based on the information. If so, then the actuator sends a directive to the target(s). The target(s) updates its responses according to the directive. The classification of the software is definitive and is not based on heuristics or rules or policies and without any need to rely on any a priori information about the software.
