COMPARISON OF BEHAVIORAL POPULATIONS FOR SECURITY AND COMPLIANCE MONITORING

摘要

Techniques to compare behavioral populations for security and compliance monitoring are disclosed. In various embodiments, for each of a plurality of implementations of a computing resource a corresponding behavioral profile data is store, which includes for each of a plurality of observed behavioral patterns observed to have been exhibited by the implementation a corresponding summary representation of one or more characteristic traits of the behavioral pattern. At least portions of said behavioral profile data associated with one or more implementations included in a cohort comprising a sub-population of said plurality of implementations identified by configuration data as being associated with said cohort is used to determine that an observed behavior of a member implementation of the cohort deviates from an expected behavior of members of the cohort.
