Anomaly Detection with Machine Learning to Improve Security

Anomaly Detection with Machine Learning

In modern IT environments ingesting terabytes of data daily, security analysts cannot find "Waldo" manually. Anomaly detection with machine learning (ML) automates the identification of subtle deviations that signify emerging threats.

The Advantage: Unlike static rules, ML-driven anomaly detection builds a dynamic baseline of "normal" behavior, allowing teams to spot Zero-Day threats and Insider Risks that lack a known signature.

Types of Security Anomalies

Point Anomalies

A single data instance that deviates significantly from the norm, such as an unusual login attempt from a foreign IP.

Contextual Anomalies

Activity that is normal in one context but suspicious in another, such as off-hours data access by a standard user.

Collective Anomalies

A group of related events that indicate an attack when chained together, common in lateral movement and exfiltration.

Key Cybersecurity Use Cases

  • Network Intrusion: Establishing baselines for protocols and data volumes to flag spikes or unusual communication.
  • Malware Detection: Identifying system behavior shifts, such as unusual registry modifications or file access patterns.
  • Insider Threats: Surfacing deviations in user activity profiles over time to detect potential misuse or credential theft.
