Abstract: Threat detection for a computer system involving monitoring installation and operation of multiple different versions of the same application. Analysing evolutionary changes between the behaviours of the different versions of the same application and detecting and monitoring a new version of the same application in a computer system. The behaviour of the computer system is monitored to detect one or more procedures of the monitored application that do not match expected behaviours of the monitored application on the basis of the analysis. Upon detection of one or more procedures not matching the expected behaviours of the monitored application, identifying the monitored application as malicious or suspicious. When to detect a version of software as containing malicious/suspicious changes may involve specific predetermined rules, a machine learning approach or any other decision making logic. The different version numbers may be used as part of the detection logic e.g. a major change between version numbers means a greater change in behaviour may be considered normal.
