  • PATH SCANNING FOR THE DETECTION OF ANOMALOUS SUBGRAPHS AND USE OF DNS REQUESTS AND HOST AGENTS FOR ANOMALY/CHANGE DETECTION AND NETWORK SITUATIONAL AWARENESS
    Publication number: 20190182281
    Abstract: A system, apparatus, computer-readable medium, and computer-implemented method are provided for detecting anomalous behavior in a network. Historical parameters of the network are determined in order to determine normal activity levels. A plurality of paths in the network are enumerated as part of a graph representing the network, where each computing system in the network may be a node in the graph and the sequence of connections between two computing systems may be a directed edge in the graph. A statistical model is applied to the plurality of paths in the graph on a sliding window basis to detect anomalous behavior. Data collected by a Unified Host Collection Agent (“UHCA”) may also be used to detect anomalous behavior.

  • Non-harmful insertion of data mimicking computer network attacks
    Patent number: 9374380
    Abstract: Non-harmful data mimicking computer network attacks may be inserted in a computer network. Anomalous real network connections may be generated between a plurality of computing systems in the network. Data mimicking an attack may also be generated. The generated data may be transmitted between the plurality of computing systems using the real network connections and measured to determine whether an attack is detected.
