Title: Malware analysis and recovery

Abstract

A system and method detects malware by processing notifications from an intrusion detection system and baseline snapshots from an image capture utility. The image capture utility constructs an image of the suspected malware intrusion and links the suspected malware intrusion to the baseline snapshots. The system and method propagates the image of the suspected malware intrusion across multiple networks before it distinguishes malicious code, device state, and files from benign code, device state, and files. Some systems and methods include a malware recovery system that executes machine learning instructions and heuristics to revert a client and/or a remote server to one or more baseline snapshots.
