Publication number: 20230319085Abstract: An attack path generation method according to the present disclosure is an attack path generation method executed by acquiring logs in devices connected to a network including at least one of a branch and a merge where each device has an attack detection function. The method includes: generating a primary-attack path without the branch and merge based on the acquired logs; generating a secondary-attack path branching from the primary-attack path or merging with the primary-attack path based on the logs; and outputting the generated primary-attack path and secondary-attack path to a device that performs attack-determination. The secondary-attack path is an attack path including an upstream or downstream device in which an event assumed to be an attack occurs within a certain period of time from an event assumed to be an attack on a device included in the primary-attack path and connected to the network merging/branching point.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 26, 2023Publication date: October 5, 2023Applicant: PANASONIC INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY MANAGEMENT CO., LTD.Inventors: Takayuki FUJII, Kaoru YOKOTA, Shoichiro SEKIYA
