ENTERPRISE-LEVEL SECURITY METHOD AND SYSTEM

Abstract:

A method of detecting and responding to anomalous activity within a system involves generating a two-dimensional graphical image of a first dimension and a second dimension, and wherein the first dimension corresponds to a cyclical repeating interval made up of multiple bins, the graphical image having been generated such that a bin of the multiple bins, is the bin having a highest count, and the bin is scaled to the second dimension, and counts of all other bins in the interval are scaled relative to that highest count, graphically comparing the generated graphical image to an immediately preceding graphical image for similarity, and when a result of the comparison fails to satisfy a pre-specified similarity threshold, automatically triggering an appropriate anomaly detection-based follow-on action.
