  • Publication number: 20240098008
    Abstract: An anomalous behavior detector has been designed to detect novel behavioral changes of devices based on network traffic data that likely correlate to anomalous behaviors. The anomalous behavior detector uses the local outlier factor (LOF) algorithm with novelty detection. After initial semi-supervised training with a single class training dataset representing stable device behaviors, the obtained model continues learning frontiers that delimit subspaces of inlier observations with live network traffic data. Instead of traffic variables being used as features, the features that form feature vectors are similarities of network traffic variable values across time intervals. A feature vector for the anomalous behavior detector represents stability or similarity of network traffic variables that have been chosen as device identifiers and behavioral indicators.
