Abstract
A system and method for correlating network event anomalies to identify attack information, that identifies anomalous events within the network, identifies correlations between anomalies and other network events and resources, generates a behavior graph describing an attack pathway derived from the correlations, and determines an attack point of origin using the behavior graph.
Claims26
A computer system comprising a memory, wherein the computer system is configured to execute software instructions stored on nontransitory machine-readable storage media that:
- store in the memory a representation of a first graph, wherein the representation of the first graph comprises representations of a first plurality of nodes and a first plurality of edges,
- wherein the first graph is a directed graph,
- wherein each node of the first plurality of nodes corresponds to a respective entity of a plurality of entities, and
- wherein the first plurality of edges includes at least one edge corresponding to a physical connection between entities and at least one edge corresponding to a logical connection between entities;
- process, substantially in real time, streaming data received from a plurality of devices,
- wherein the streaming data comprises information about events relating to the plurality of entities;
- process the representation of the first graph to add, subtract, or modify a node of the first graph based on the streaming data,
- process the representation of the first graph to add, subtract, or modify an edge of the first graph based on the streaming data,
- use the representation of the first graph to determine whether an event, of the events relating to the plurality of entities, is anomalous, and,
- if the event is anomalous, identify the event as a first anomalous event.
