Abstract

See full text

A flow-based detection system and method for detection of cyber-attacks is provided that utilizes contextual information to provide improved detection accuracy over existing flow-based systems. Contextual information is utilized to semantically reveal cyber-attacks from IP flows. Time, location, and other contextual information mined from network flow data is utilized to create semantic links among alerts raised in response to suspicious IP flows. The semantic links are identified through an inference process on probabilistic semantic link networks. The resulting links are used at run-time to retrieve relevant suspicious activities that represent a possible attack or possible steps in multi-step attacks.
