Arrangements for detecting polymorphic botnets using a pattern matching engine are provided. The platform may train a pattern matching engine to generate image pattern statuses based on a training set of historical image patterns. The platform may automatically generate real-time interaction information based on monitoring interactions between user devices and cloud platforms. The platform may generate a potentially malicious image pattern based on the real-time interaction information. The platform may then input the image pattern into the pattern matching engine to generate an image pattern status for the image pattern. The platform may store the image pattern to a pattern storage repository. Based on identifying the image pattern as malicious, the platform may initiate a security action. The platform may update the pattern matching engine based on the image pattern and its image pattern status to detect future polymorphic botnet attacks.
