Abstract: In one embodiment, a device in a network joins a fog-based malware defense cluster comprising one or more peer devices. The device and each peer device in the cluster are configured to execute a different set of local malware scanners. The device receives a file flagged as suspicious by a node in the network associated with the device. The device determines whether the local malware scanners of the device are able to scan the file. The device sends an assessment request to one or more of the peer devices in the malware defense cluster, in response to determining that the local malware scanners of the device are unable to scan the file.
