Abstract: There is provided mechanisms for cyberattack identification in a network environment. A method is performed by a security analytics module. The method comprises obtaining logged events. The events having occurred and are logged in the network environment. Each logged event is associated with a cyber security deviation score and cyber security deviation statistics. The method comprises matching each logged event to a cyber-attack lifecycle phase by comparing characteristics of each logged event, as given by the cyber security deviation statistics, to known cyberattack lifecycle phases. The method comprises linking together the logged events by forming at least one chain of the logged events. Each chain corresponds to one type of cyberattack as given by combinations of the known cyberattack lifecycle phases. The cyber security deviation scores and cyber security deviation statistics are updated based on how the logged events are linked together.
