Consolidating structured and unstructured security and threat intelligence with knowledge graphs

摘要

An automated method for processing security events. It begins by building an initial version of a knowledge graph based on security information received from structured data sources. Using entities identified in the initial version, additional security information is then received. The additional information is extracted from one or more unstructured data sources. The additional information includes text in which the entities (from the structured data sources) appear. The text is processed to extract relationships involving the entities (from the structured data sources) to generate entities and relationships extracted from the unstructured data sources. The initial version of the knowledge graph is then augmented with the entities and relationships extracted from the unstructured data sources to build a new version of the knowledge graph that consolidates the intelligence received from the structured data sources and the unstructured data sources. The new version is then used to process security event data.
