Enhanced detection of polymorphic malicious content within an entity

A computerized method for enhanced detection of polymorphic malicious content within an entity, the method comprising:

• receiving information associated with an incidence of an electronic file in a distributed network comprising one or more network devices;
• receiving a first hash value of the electronic file from a first network device and a second hash value of the electronic file from a second network device, wherein the first network device and the second network device are associated with the one or more network devices;
• comparing the first hash value with the second hash value to determine a match;
• determining that the electronic file is polymorphic based on at least determining that the first hash value at the first network device does not match the second hash value at the second network device;
• initiating an execution of a quantum optimization algorithm using a quantum optimizer to determine one or more hash value states associated with the electronic file for a third network device based on at least the first hash value, the second hash value, and information associated with the one or more network devices in the distributed network;
• receiving information associated with an incidence of the electronic file at the third network device;
• determining that the electronic file is malware;
• and
• initiating an intrusion detection protocol configured to deny the electronic file access to the third network device based on at least determining that the electronic file is malware.

A computer program product for enhanced detection of polymorphic malicious content within an entity, the computer program product comprising a non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising code causing a first apparatus to:

• receive information associated with an incidence of an electronic file in a distributed network comprising one or more network devices;
• receive a first hash value of the electronic file from a first network device and a second hash value of the electronic file from a second network device, wherein the first network device and the second network device are associated with the one or more network devices;
• compare the first hash value with the second hash value to determine a match;
• determine that the electronic file is polymorphic based on at least determining that the first hash value at the first network device does not match the second hash value at the second network device;
• initiate an execution of a quantum optimization algorithm using a quantum optimizer to determine one or more hash value states associated with the electronic file for a third network device based on at least the first hash value, the second hash value, and information associated with the one or more network devices in the distributed network;
• receive information associated with an incidence of the electronic file at the third network device;
• determine that the electronic file is malware;
• and
• initiate an intrusion detection protocol configured to deny the electronic file access to the third network device based on at least determining that the electronic file is malware.
