Abstract: An information retrieval system implements a search language, through which a querying entity (e.g., a user, a program or process, or the like) formulates a search query. Preferably, a search query is composed of an ordered set of clause definitions, and each clause can have set membership operations applied to it. Each clause includes a clause pipeline, and a time constraint. A clause pipeline includes an ordered set of clause specifications separated by a pipeline operator. A clause specification can be either an expansion operation or a filtering operation. Preferably, a first clause specification in a pipeline operates on an initial universe of all objects, and each subsequent clause specification operates on a set of objects produced from the previous clause specification. The search language is exposed to users (typically, IT administrators), and one or more builder programs within the system (each referred to as a “model builder”) are used internally to present data models to the search language.

Abstract: A target software system is instrumented to generate behavior data representing a current observation or observation aggregate. A method then determines whether the current observation or observation aggregate warrants a second level examination; preferably, this determination is made by processing the current observation or observation aggregate through a first level detection algorithm that provides a provisional indication of a possible intrusion. If executing the first level detection algorithm indicates that the current observation or observation aggregate warrants a second level examination, the method continues by processing the current observation or observation aggregate through at least one second level detection algorithms to provide a more definite, fine grain indication of a possible intrusion.
