  • Media for detecting common suspicious activity occurring on a computer network using firewall data and reports from a network filter device
    Patent number: 9385993
    Abstract: Some embodiments described herein relate to a method including receiving a report of a first suspicious activity from a network filter device. The report of the first suspicious activity can include an indication of a time associated with the first suspicious activity and can be devoid of an address uniquely associated with the first suspicious activity. An indication of a user device associated with the first suspicious activity can be identified based on user activity data received from a firewall log. A second suspicious activity can also be identified from the user activity data without receiving a report of the second suspicious activity from the network filter device. A common suspicious activity including the first suspicious activity and the second suspicious activity can be defined, and a report indicating the common suspicious activity can be sent to an administrator device.
