GRAPH-BASED INTRUSION DETECTION USING PROCESS TRACES

摘要

Methods and systems for detecting malicious processes include modeling system data as a graph comprising vertices that represent system entities and edges that represent events between respective system entities. Each edge has one or more timestamps corresponding respective events between two system entities. A set of valid path patterns that relate to potential attacks is generated. One or more event sequences in the system are determined to be suspicious based on the graph and the valid path patterns using a random walk on the graph.
