Abstract: A technique for storage-efficient cyber incident reasoning by graph matching. The method begins with a graph pattern that comprises a set of elements with constraints and connections among them. A graph of constraint relations (GoC) in the graph pattern is derived. An activity graph representing activity data captured in association with a host machine is then obtained. In response to a query, one or more subgraphs of the activity graph that satisfy the graph pattern are then located and, in particular, by iteratively solving constraints in the graph pattern. In particular, a single element constraint is solved to generate a result, and that result is propagated to connected constraints in the graph of constraint relations. This process continues until all single element constraints have been evaluated, and all propagations have been performed. The subgraphs of the activity graph that result are then returned in response to a database query.
