  • Patent number: 11956256
    Abstract: In a priority determination apparatus (10), a dissimilarity index calculation unit (11) calculates a dissimilarity index between a transmission/reception performance record of a first traffic flow related to a first security alert notified from a network-type intrusion detection apparatus and a transmission/reception performance record of a second traffic flow related to a second security alert notified from the network-type intrusion detection apparatus in the past, the network-type intrusion detection apparatus being configured to detect an attack on an apparatus in a network. A priority determination unit (12) determines a priority of the first security alert based on the dissimilarity index calculated by the dissimilarity index calculation unit (11).

  • Publication number: 20240073240
    Abstract: A suspicious communication detection apparatus includes: a database; a machine learning model that receives features of an encrypted communication and that determines whether the encrypted communication is a suspicious communication; a determination part that refers to the database by using information about a received encrypted communication, enters obtained features about the received encrypted communication to the machine learning model, determines whether the received encrypted communication is a suspicious communication, and stores the determination result for the suspiciousness in the database; and a redetermination part that performs, based on a determination result of an encrypted communication from the inside of the organization to the outside of the organization, a redetermination on a determination result of an encrypted communication from the outside of the organization to the inside of the organization, the determination result being stored in the database.

  • Publication number: 20240073227
    Abstract: A suspicious communication detection apparatus includes: a database; a registration part that determines whether a received communication is an encrypted communication or a non-encrypted communication, performs padding on transmission and reception size values and transmission and reception packet numbers of the non-encrypted communication to fill in a difference from an encrypted communication, generates features from the non-encrypted communication obtained after the padding, and registers the features in the database; a learning part that trains a machine learning model by using features of non-encrypted communications registered in the database as training data, wherein the machine learning model receives features of an encrypted communication, and determines whether the encrypted communication is suspicious; and a determination part that refers to the database by using information about a received encrypted communication, enters obtained features about the received encrypted communication to the machine
