Systems and methods for determining trustworthiness of software programs

摘要

A computer-implemented method for determining trustworthiness of software programs may include (1) determining, for at least one software program, a prevalence score that indicates a prevalence of the software program within a local network, (2) obtaining, for the software program, a reputation score that indicates a reputation of the software program, (3) determining a trustworthiness of the software program based on both the reputation score of the software program and the prevalence score of the software program, and (4) performing a security action based on the trustworthiness of the software program. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.

1. A computer-implemented method for determining trustworthiness of software programs, at least a portion of the method being performed by a computing device comprising at least one processor, the method comprising:
determining, for at least one software program, a prevalence score that indicates a prevalence of the software program within a local network; obtaining, for the software program, a reputation score that indicates a prevalence of the software program outside the local network; comparing the prevalence score with the reputation score to a determine trustworthiness of the software program based on both the reputation score of the software program and the prevalence score of the software program; performing a security action based on the trustworthiness of the software program.
