Abstract
A method, computer-readable medium, and apparatus for classifying mobile traffic for securing a network or a mobile user endpoint device are disclosed. For example, a method may include a processor for classifying mobile network traffic using a probabilistic model for a plurality of mobile software applications based on a distribution of domain names, detecting an anomaly associated with a mobile software application of the plurality of mobile software applications, and performing a remedial action to address the anomaly.

A device comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- a computer-readable medium storing instructions which, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to perform operations, the operations comprising:
- classifying mobile network traffic using a probabilistic model for a plurality of mobile software applications based on a distribution of domain names;
- detecting an anomaly associated with a mobile software application of the plurality of mobile software applications;
- and
- performing a remedial action to address the anomaly.
