  • Publication number: 20220035914
    Abstract: An information processing apparatus (2000) compares a name of a determination target file with a name of one or more normal files. The information processing apparatus (2000) outputs information related to the determination target file, when a name of the determination target file does not coincide with a name of any of the normal files, and a degree of reliability of the determination target file is equal to or less than a threshold value. A degree of reliability of the determination target file is calculated, based on a degree of similarity between a name of the determination target file and a name of each of the normal files.

  • Publication number: 20220035906
    Abstract: An information processing apparatus (2000) acquires an event graph (10) to be output. In the event graph (10), an activity content in an event related to an activity of a program is represented as an edge, and each of a subject and an object of the event is represented as a node. By using score information, the information processing apparatus (2000) determines a subgraph that matches an event graph (10) having a score equal to or higher than a threshold value from the event graphs (10) to be output. The score information associates each of a plurality of event graphs (10) with a score based on the number of occurrences of an event sequence represented by the event graph (10). The information processing apparatus (2000) outputs the event graph (10) to be output in a mode in which the determined subgraph and the other portion can be discriminated from each other.

  • Publication number: 20220019660
    Abstract: An information processing apparatus (2000) acquires an event graph (10) to be output and determines a subgraph satisfying a predetermined reference from the acquired event graph (10) to be output. In the event graph (10), an activity content in an event related to an activity of a program is represented as an edge (14), and each of a subject and an object of the event is represented as a node (12). The information processing apparatus (2000) outputs the event graph (10) with an output mode of the determined subgraph as a first mode and with an output mode of another portion as a mode other than the first mode. The first mode is a mode in which at least one of the number of nodes (12) and the number of edges (14) is reduced than the number included in the determined graph.

  • Publication number: 20220012345
    Abstract: A history output apparatus (2000) acquires an abnormal event history (10) being information representing an abnormal event occurring in a target system (100), and determines a kind of the abnormal event represented by the abnormal event history (10). When a kind of the determined abnormal event is a first kind, the history output apparatus (2000) determines a terminal (110) in which the abnormal event occurs, as an output target terminal. Further, the history output apparatus (2000) also determines another terminal (110) performing communication with the terminal (110) in which the abnormal event occurs at or before a point when the abnormal event occurs, as an output target terminal. When the abnormal event represented by the acquired abnormal event history (10) is an abnormal event occurring in the output target terminal, the history output apparatus (2000) outputs information relating to the abnormal event.

  • Publication number: 20210049477
    Abstract: Based on a normal model, it is detected whether or not an event signal of a computer system is anomalous. In parallel with the normal-model-based anomaly detection, it is detected based on a rule whether or not the event signal is anomalous. Then, a final anomaly detection result is generated by performing comprehensive determination based on detection results of the normal-model-based anomaly detection and the rule-based anomaly detection.

  • Publication number: 20210042412
    Abstract: An information processing apparatus (2000) classifies each event that occurred in a target apparatus to be determined (10) either as an event (event of a first class) that also occurs in a standard apparatus (20) or as an event (event of a second class) that does not occur in the standard apparatus (20). Herein, a first model used for a determination with respect to an event that also occurs in the standard apparatus (20) and a second model used for a determination with respect to an event that does not occur in the standard apparatus (20) are used as models for determining whether an event that occurs in a target apparatus to be determined (10) is a target for warning. The information processing apparatus (2000) performs learning of the first model using an event of the first class. Further, the information processing apparatus (2000) performs learning of the second model using an event of the second class.

  • Publication number: 20210034488
    Abstract: An information processing apparatus generates a graph that represents an action of a program. On the graph, an edge represents action contents of a process in an event. Further, two nodes connected by the edge respectively represent a subject and an object of the event. The information processing apparatus outputs the generated graph. Further, the information processing apparatus also alters the generated graph. When an index value of an event satisfies a first predetermined condition which index value is based on the number of occurrences or the frequency of occurrences of the event, the information processing apparatus alters the graph with respect to an edge representing the event.
