Abstract

See full text

Potentially infected internal device(s) and potential malware command and control device(s) are identified by generating a bipartite graph that includes internal device(s) inside a network and destination(s) outside the network which communicate over a period of time. The bipartite graph is reduced to obtain a reduced bipartite graph, including by eliminating those connections that include a whitelisted internal device and those connections that include a whitelisted destination. From the reduced graph, a cluster of potentially infected internal device(s) and potential malware command and control device(s) are identified based at least in part on (1) the cluster's degree of isolation from other clusters and (2) an isolation threshold.
