System and Method for Cybersecurity Threat Monitoring Using Dynamically-Updated Semantic Graphs
Abstract:
A method for performing cyber-security analysis includes generating a semantic graph in which each object is represented as a node, and each event associated with an object is represented as an edge. A cyber-threat related alert, with an associated alert type, is received from a source. A first object from the plurality of objects is modified based on the alert. A plurality of threat scores, each associated with an object, are calculated, substantially concurrently, based on the alert type. Subsequently, a plurality of modified threat scores are determined for each object, based on: (1) the threat score for that object, (2) a connectivity of that object to each of the remaining objects within the semantic graph; and (3) the threat score for each remaining object from the plurality of objects. A subgraph of the semantic graph is identified based on normalized versions of the modified threat scores.
