Abstract: Malware activity detection for networked computing systems is described. A network session record is provided to a machine learning (ML) model configured to generate an indication of whether the provided network session record evidences malware activity. The network session record indicates network traffic activity in a time period. Responsive to an indication by the ML model, correlation scores are calculated by, for each process session record in a process session record set, calculating a correlation score indicative of a correlation between the provided network session record and the process session record. Each process session record in the process session record set corresponds to a process executed by a computing device in the time period. A determination that a correlation score indicates a corresponding process session record is indicative of the evidenced malware activity is made. Responsive to the determination, a malware activity alert is generated.

Abstract: A computing system is configured for detecting anomalies in deployment configurations of container images at a container network. One or more datasets associated with deployment configurations of a container imager are collected, and a plurality of features are extracted based on the one or more datasets for an ID of the container image. A probability score is then generated based on the plurality of features, using a machine-learning model trained on datasets associated with historical deployment configurations of the container image that have been performed via the container orchestration service. The probability score indicates a probability of whether the deployment configurations of the container image are anomalous or not anomalous when compared historical deployment configurations of the container image. An allow list is generated that includes container images and their respective IDs that have a majority of their deployment configurations that are not anomalous.

Abstract: Systems and methods are described for threat detection for cloud applications. A log that includes a record of a control plane operation executed by a cloud application is received. A feature set is generated based on the record. Respective subsets of the feature set are provided to two or more anomaly detection models. Each anomaly detection model is configured to output a respective anomaly score indicative of a degree to which the execution of the control plane operation is anomalous with respect to a particular context (e.g., application, resource, subscription, tenant) based on the subset provided thereto. A determination that a security alert should be generated is made based at least on the anomaly scores output by the two or more anomaly detection models and an indication that the control plane operation is included in a list of impactful operations. Responsive to the determination, the security alert is generated.

Abstract: According to examples, an apparatus may include a processor and a memory on which is stored machine-readable instructions that may cause the processor to identify a container image group of a plurality of container image groups to which a subject container image corresponds, in which each of the plurality of container image groups is assigned a respective behavioral profile. The processor may also determine whether activities in the subject container image comply with corresponding activities identified in the behavioral profile of the identified container image group. Based on a determination that at least one activity in the subject container image fails to comply with a corresponding at least one activity identified in the behavioral profile of the identified container image group, the processor may determine that the subject container image includes an anomalous activity and output an alert indicating that the subject container image includes an anomalous activity.

Abstract: Compromised user accounts are identified by detecting anomalous cloud activities. Cloud activities are determined to be anomalous by comparing the behavior of a particular user with the previous behavior of that user as well as the previous behavior of other, related users. In some configurations, the related users are organized into one or more hierarchies, such as by geographic location or by a logical structure of a cloud service. The behavior of the related users is modeled at different levels in the hierarchy. Anomaly scores from different groups and levels of the hierarchy are compiled and filtered before being used to determine whether to send a security alert. In some configurations, the security alert indicates that the anomalous operation was detected, why the operation was determined to be anomalous, and in some cases, what harm the operation could lead to if the user is in fact compromised.
