SECURITY THREAT DETECTION ASSOCIATED WITH SECURITY EVENTS AND AN ACTOR CATEGORY MODEL

摘要

Security events associated with network devices and an actor category model are stored (501, 503). The actor category model includes levels arranged in a hierarchy and each level is associated with a subcategory for a category of the model. Security events are correlated with the actor category model (505), and a determination of whether a security threat exists is performed based on the correlating (506).
