  • Patent number: 11954130
    Abstract: A logical graph is generated using at least a portion of log data received from a set of agents executing on one or more nodes in one or more data centers.

  • Patent number: 11689553
    Abstract: Log data associated with at least one user session in a network environment associated with an original user is received. A logical graph is generated using at least a portion of the received log data. One example of such a logical graph is a privilege change graph that models privilege changes between processes. Another example of such a logical graph is a user login graph that models machines with which the original user interacts. Another example of such a logical graph is a machine-server graph that clusters machines into nodes based on resources executing on the machine. The generated logical graph is used to detect an anomaly.
