Abstract:
Systems and methods may determine suspicious network traffic. A monitoring system comprising a processor in communication with a network may monitor network traffic to or from an asset associated with the network. The monitoring system may assess the network traffic to determine a source and/or destination for the network traffic anchor content of the network traffic. The monitoring system may determine whether the network traffic is suspicious network traffic based on the assessed source and/or destination and/or content. When the network traffic is determined to be suspicious network traffic, the monitoring system may capture metadata associated with the suspicious network traffic and store the metadata in a database in communication with the processor. When the network traffic is not determined to be suspicious network traffic, the monitoring system may disregard metadata associated with the network traffic.
