Abstract:
Techniques and systems for determining a malicious derivative entity within a network are provided herein. A method for determining a malicious derivative entity may include receiving, by a network-based authentication system, a plurality of network transactions. A first attribute of a network transaction within the plurality of network transactions may be identified. The method may also include identifying a plurality of entities for the first attribute. The network-based authentication system may generate a first visual representation of a relationship between the first attribute and the plurality of derivative entities. Each of the derivative entities and the first attribute may be represented as nodes within the first visual representation. A first score for each of the nodes may be determined based on a degree of centrality of the nodes within the first visual representation. One network transaction may be blocked based on at least one node exceeding a first threshold.
