Reducing false positives generated by a database intrusion detection system

摘要

A false positive reduction manager reduces false positives generated by database intrusion detection systems. In one embodiment, the false positive reduction manager monitors attempted database activities executed by a plurality of users. The false positive reduction manager detects at least one attempt by at least one user to execute suspicious database activity, and determines whether the at least one attempt to execute suspicious database activity is legitimate responsive to whether a threshold of users in the same group as the at least one user attempt substantially similar suspicious database activity.
