  • Method and system for detecting intrusive anomalous use of a software system using multiple detection algorithms
    Publication number: 20130111588
    Abstract: A method of detecting an intrusion into (or an anomaly in a behavior of) a target software system begins by instrumenting the target software system to generate behavior data representing a current observation or observation aggregate. The method then determines whether the current observation or observation aggregate warrants a second level examination. If a result of executing the first level detection algorithm indicates that the current observation or observation aggregate warrants a second level examination, the method continues by processing the current observation or observation aggregate through at least one or more second level detection algorithms to provide a second, more definite, fine grain indication of a possible intrusion.

  • Method and system for detecting intrusive anomalous use of a software system using multiple detection algorithms
    Patent number: 8108929
    Abstract: A target software system is instrumented to generate behavior data representing a current observation or observation aggregate. A method then determines whether the current observation or observation aggregate warrants a second level examination; preferably, this determination is made by processing the current observation or observation aggregate through a first level detection algorithm that provides a provisional indication of a possible intrusion. If executing the first level detection algorithm indicates that the current observation or observation aggregate warrants a second level examination, the method continues by processing the current observation or observation aggregate through at least one second level detection algorithms to provide a more definite, fine grain indication of a possible intrusion.
