Abstract

See full text

A method, system, and computer program product for detecting and mapping activity occurring at and between devices on a computer network for utilization within an intrusion detection mechanism. An enhanced graph matching intrusion detection system (eGMIDS) utility executing on a control server provides data collection functions and data fusion techniques. The eGMIDS comprises multiple sensors and associated unique adaptors that are located at different remote devices of the network and utilized to detect specific types of activity occurring at the respective devices relevant to eGMIDS processing. The sensors convert the data into eGMIDS format and encapsulate the data in a special transmission packet that is transmitted to the control server. The eGMIDS utility converts the activity data within these packets into eGMIDS-usable format and then processes the converted data via a data fusion technique to generate a graphical representation of the network (devices) and the activity occurring at/amongst the various devices.
