Identifying malware-suspect end points through entropy changes in consolidated logs

摘要

Detecting a malware attack includes monitoring an event log of a first device, wherein the event log identifies events indicating that the first device is likely compromised, determining an expected rate of log entries during a time window, identifying that an actual rate of log entries during the time window satisfies a threshold, determining, in response to the identifying, that the first device is a compromised device, and performing an action in response to determining that the first device is a compromised device.
