Abstract: Some embodiments provide techniques for detecting cyberattacks against a software service authentication system that authorizes access to software services. The techniques access a user activity profile specifying values of parameters indicating the user's pattern of requesting access to unique software service(s). The techniques monitor the activity of the user over a time period to obtain software request data indicating request(s) by the user to access software services in the time period. The techniques determine, using the software service request data and the user activity profile, whether computing activity of the user during the time period is anomalous.

Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed to implement a cyberattack detection system that monitors a computer network for lateral movement. In embodiments, the system uses network data from a computer network to build a baseline of connection behaviors for the network. Connection graphs are generated from new network data that indicate groups of nodes that made connections with one another during a last time interval. The graphs are analyzed for connection behavior anomalies and ranked to determine a subset of graphs with suspected lateral movement. Graphs with suspected lateral movement may be further analyzed to determine a set of possible attack paths in the lateral movements. The suspected attack paths are reported to network administrators via a notification interface. Advantageously, the disclosed system is able to detect potential lateral movements in localized portions of a network by monitoring for connection behavior anomalies in network data gathered from the network.
