Abstract: This disclosure relates to analyzing log data of a system. This comprises evaluating a first graph model with multiple log events in the log data. The first graph model comprises a first set of nodes connected by a first set of edges representing a first behaviour. A processor determines a first correspondence value based on the first graph model and indicative of a correspondence between the multiple log events and the first behaviour. The processor repeats the steps of evaluating the first graph model for one or more further graph models representing one or more further behaviors and determining the first correspondence value to determine one or more further correspondence values. The processor finally determines a classification of the multiple log events as representing one of the behaviors based on the correspondence values. The use of multiple graph models allows a more granular classification than binary intrusion detection.
