  • Patent number: 11588841
    Abstract: Techniques and mechanisms are disclosed for creating an environment for detecting malicious network traffic. A test computer network including a plurality of cloned nodes is created. The plurality of cloned nodes in the test computer network corresponds to at least some of a plurality of target nodes of a host computer network, and the test computer network has no network connectivity to the host computer network. Sensors in both the host computer network and the test computer network generate network flow records that are sent to a detection processing pipeline. The detection processing pipeline merges the records received from the sensors and uses the merged records to train at least one model used to identify instances of malicious network traffic.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: May 11, 2020
    Date of Patent: February 21, 2023
