  • Publication number: 20190007435
    Abstract: Search results are received from an initiated free text search of log data from one or more logs, where the free text is performed using search terms entered into a free text search graphical user interface. A set of at least one search result is selected from the search results containing an event desired to be identified in a completed enterprise threat detection (ETD) pattern. A forensic lab application is rendered to complete an ETD pattern. An event filter is added for an event type based on normalized log data to a path. A relative ETD pattern time range is set and an ETD pattern is completed based on the added event filter.

  • Publication number: 20180063167
    Abstract: Subnet information and location information is received from a database by a smart data streaming engine (SDS). A particular subnet of the subnet information is associated with a particular location of the location information by a globally unique location ID value. Log event data received in the SDS is normalized as normalized log event data. The normalized log event data is enriched with subnet and location information as enriched log event data and written into a log event persistence in the database. A subnet ID value retrieved from an enriched log event of the enriched log event data is used by an enterprise threat detection (ETD) system to determine a location associated with the enriched log event using a location ID value associated with the subnet ID.

  • Publication number: 20180027010
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method generates a trigger registration for a selected triggering type. The generated trigger registration is stored in a triggering persistency. A received event from an event persistency is analyzed and data associated with the analyzed event is compared with the triggering persistency. Based on the comparison and using a pattern execution framework, an enterprise threat detection (ETD) pattern is processed to perform actions responsive to the received event.

  • Publication number: 20170178025
    Abstract: A log file including a plurality of log entries is accessed. Each log entry of the plurality of log entries is analyzed to identify components of each log entry. The components of the particular log entry indicate an event. The event is associated with roles. Each role is associated with one or more attributes. Semantic meaning of the event associated with the particular log entry is determined. A mapping is performed by applying contextual information from one or more semantic meaning models stored in a knowledgebase to the identified components of each log entry to derive semantic meaning for the particular log entry. The derived semantic meaning is modeled for the particular log entry. The modeled semantic meaning is recorded in the knowledgebase as a new semantic meaning model for future use.

  • Publication number: 20170178026
    Abstract: A sample log file including a plurality of log entries for log learning is accessed, using a log interpretation controller, prior to runtime as part of a log learning process. Each of the plurality of log entries is analyzed. A log entry type is assigned to each of the plurality of log entries. A log type and semantic event are assigned to each log entry type. Generation of runtime rules is triggered for analyzing unknown log entries. The runtime rules include characteristics of particular log entry types that allow unique identification of the particular log entry type for a particular unknown log entry. The generated runtime rules are loaded into a runtime parser.

  • Patent number: 7624092
    Abstract: Methods and apparatus, including computer program products, for the identification of data elements. A user input is received, comprising a data element and a context in which the data element is being used. The user input is sent to a terminology database. A list of entries is received, each entry having a first unique identifier (UID) and a second UID. The first represents a concept associated with the data element, and the second represents a specific description of the concept associated with the data element. A user input is received selecting an entry. The UIDs corresponding to the selected entry are directly associated with the data set. In some implementations, directly associating the UIDs with the data set comprises generating markup code comprising the UIDs. The invention lays the groundwork for a more efficient solution for the features/requirements related to versioning, updating, and translation in the realm of hypertexts.
