Abstract:
A method of anomaly detection for network traffic communicated by devices via a computer network, the method including clustering a set of time series, each time series including a plurality of time windows of data corresponding to network communication characteristics for a device; training an autoencoder for each cluster based on time series in the cluster; generating a set of reconstruction errors for each autoencoder based on testing the autoencoder with data from time windows of at least a subset of the time series; generating a probabilistic model of reconstruction errors for each autoencoder; and generating an aggregation of the probabilistic models for, in use, detecting reconstruction errors for a time series of data corresponding to network communication characteristics for a device as anomalous.
