The present disclosure relates generally to data processing and, more particularly, to systems and methods for attributing user behavior from multiple technical telemetry sources.
Enterprises use computer networks for providing services, content, and offering products. The computer networks can connect both low-risk assets and critical enterprise assets. The low-risk assets can be vulnerable to hacker attacks, computer viruses, and malicious software that may lead to loss or leak of critical data. To get to the critical data attackers can target low-risk assets in order to enter the internal network. Inside the internal network and behind the hardware firewall, attackers can move across the internal network to gain access to critical enterprise assets.
This summary is provided to introduce a selection of concepts in a simplified form that are further described below in the Detailed Description. This summary is not intended to identify key features or essential features of the claimed subject matter, nor is it intended to be used as an aid in determining the scope of the claimed subject matter.
Provided are systems and methods for attributing user behavior from multiple technical telemetry sources. According to an example embodiment, a method for attributing user behavior from multiple technical telemetry sources may include determining that the user has logged into the computing device. The method may include, in response to the determination, collecting log data from a plurality of telemetry sources associated with the computing device. The method may include extracting, from the log data, activity data concerning activities of the computing device. The method may include analyzing the activity data to determine that the activity data are attributed to the user within a graph.
The plurality of the telemetry sources may include one of the following: logs of endpoint security applications (commonly known as Endpoint Protection Platforms or security agents, for example, Tanium™ or Crowdstrike™) installed on the computing device, flow logs from a router or a switch used for communications with the computer device, logs from a cloud-based network or access Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) (for example, Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) flow logs or CloudTrail Identity and Access Management (IAM) logs in Amazon Web Services (AWS™)), logs of operations of the computing devices, and logs of an identity management system.
Extracting the activity data may include determining a network address of the computing device, a list of active directories and files being accessed on the computing device, a list of applications being executed by the computing device, a list of network addresses of websites and other business applications associated with the computing device, types of connections to the websites and application servers (for example, an Amazon Simple Storage Service (S3) object store providing data storage services within AWS), an amount of data transferred between the computing device and the applications, and a type of operations conducted (for example, READ or WRITE operations against a file within an S3 object store).
The method may further include generating, based on the activity data, behavior attributes of the user and associating the behavior attributes with a unique identifier of the computing device. The unique identifier includes a media access control (MAC) address of the computing device.
Generating the behavior attributes may include creating a graph with nodes representing the applications and the websites and edges representing relationships between the user and the applications.
The method may include estimating security integrity of the computing device based on comparison of the behavior attributes to reference behavior attributes. The reference behavior attributes include further behavior attributes determined using log data of at least one further computing device associated with the user. The reference behavior attributes can be determined based on a plurality of further behavior attributes determined using further log data collected for a plurality of further computing devices associated with a plurality of further users having the same role within an enterprise.
The method may include, prior to the determining that the user has logged into the computer device, collecting further log data from the plurality of telemetry sources associated with the computing device. The method may include, prior to extracting the activity data, excluding the further log data from the log data in order to generate a baseline of the computer device without a user activity. The baseline may be used to determine a difference between a steady state of the computer device without the user activity and a state of the computer device with the user activity which represents the activity which can be attributed to the user.
According to another embodiment, a system for attributing user behavior from multiple technical telemetry sources is provided. The system may include at least one processor and a memory storing processor-executable codes, wherein the processor can be configured to implement the operations of the above-mentioned method for attributing user behavior from multiple technical telemetry sources.
According to yet another aspect of the disclosure, there is provided a non-transitory processor-readable medium, which stores processor-readable instructions. When the processor-readable instructions are executed by a processor, they cause the processor to implement the above-mentioned method for attributing user behavior from multiple technical telemetry sources.
Additional objects, advantages, and novel features will be set forth in part in the detailed description section of this disclosure, which follows, and in part will become apparent to those skilled in the art upon examination of this specification and the accompanying drawings or may be learned by production or operation of the example embodiments. The objects and advantages of the concepts may be realized and attained by means of the methodologies, instrumentalities, and combinations particularly pointed out in the appended claims.
Embodiments are illustrated by way of example and not limitation in the figures of the accompanying drawings, in which like references indicate similar elements.
The following detailed description includes references to the accompanying drawings, which form a part of the detailed description. The drawings show illustrations in accordance with example embodiments. These example embodiments, which are also referred to herein as “examples,” are described in enough detail to enable those skilled in the art to practice the present subject matter. The embodiments can be combined, other embodiments can be utilized, or structural, logical, and electrical changes can be made without departing from the scope of what is claimed. The following detailed description is, therefore, not to be taken in a limiting sense, and the scope is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
The present disclosure provides methods and systems for attributing user behavior from multiple technical telemetry sources. The proposed systems may provide a method for monitoring activities of a user when the user logged into a user device. The activities can be monitored based on network log data and application log data associated with the user device and the environment of the user device. The network log and data application log data can be obtained from different telemetry sources, such as routers, switches, and cloud-based applications and APIs. The activities may include typical applications used by the user, websites visited by the user, application servers accessed by the user, transaction performed by the user, and so forth.
Certain embodiments of the present disclosure may facilitate creation of behavioral baseline representing typical activities of the user. The behavioral baseline can be associated with a single user device or multiple user devices. Some embodiments may allow generating behavioral baseline of users associated with the same division or a department of an enterprise or of a common role of a group of users as defined within a corporate directory, an identity store, or the identity store. The behavioral baseline may be used to detect unusual and suspicious activities in a computer environment associated with the user device.
Referring now to the drawings,
The user devices 110-i (i=1, . . . , N) may include a notebook computer, a desktop computer, a tablet computer, a phablet, a smart phone, a personal digital assistant, a media player, a mobile telephone, a smart television set, in-vehicle infotainment, a smart home device, a mobile client device, an Internet-of-Things (IoT) device, and the like.
The remote systems 120-i (i=1, . . . , N) can include application servers, database servers, client servers, data storage servers, which may communicate with each other and the user devices 110-i (i=1, . . . , N) via the data network 130. The remote systems 120-i (i=1, . . . , N) can be configured to provide websites, client applications, enterprise applications, enterprise database, file and object services, and so forth.
The data network 130 may include the Internet or any other network capable of communicating data between devices. Suitable networks may include or interface with any one or more of, for instance, a local intranet, a corporate data network, a data center network, a home data network, a Personal Area Network, a Local Area Network (LAN), a Wide Area Network (WAN), a Metropolitan Area Network, a virtual private network, a storage area network, a frame relay connection, an Advanced Intelligent Network connection, a synchronous optical network connection, a digital T1, T3, E1 or E3 line, Digital Data Service connection, Digital Subscriber Line connection, an Ethernet connection, an Integrated Services Digital Network line, a dial-up port such as a V.90, V.34 or V.34bis analog modem connection, a cable modem, an Asynchronous Transfer Mode connection, or a Fiber Distributed Data Interface or Copper Distributed Data Interface connection. Furthermore, communications may also include links to any of a variety of wireless networks, including Wireless Application Protocol, General Packet Radio Service, Global System for Mobile Communication, Code Division Multiple Access or Time Division Multiple Access, cellular phone networks, Global Positioning System, cellular digital packet data, Research in Motion, Limited duplex paging network, Bluetooth radio, or an IEEE 802.11-based radio frequency network. The data network 130 can further include or interface with any one or more of a Recommended Standard 232 (RS-232) serial connection, an IEEE-1394 (FireWire™) connection, a Fiber Channel connection, an IrDA (infrared) port, a Small Computer Systems Interface connection, a Universal Serial Bus (USB) connection or other wired or wireless, digital or analog interface or connection, mesh or Digi® networking.
The behavior attributes monitoring system 140 can include an application executed on a standalone server or a closed-based computing resource. In some embodiments, the behavior attributes monitoring system 140 can be located on one of the remote systems 120-i (i=1, . . . , Z).
The network log data 210 can be recorded by switches or routers connected to the user devices 110-i (i=1, . . . , N). The network log data 210 can also be recorded by a cloud-based monitoring system (such as VPC Flow logs or CloudTrail within AWS). For example, the router or the cloud-based monitoring system can be configured to record logs of network data of connections of the user devices 110-i (i=1, . . . , N) to the remote systems 120-i (i=1, . . . , Z).
The application log data 220 may include logs of endpoint security applications (Endpoint Protection Platforms (EPPs), such as Tanium or CrowdStrike) installed on the user devices, logs of operations of the user devices (for example, generated by AuditD), and logs of an identity management system associated with the user devices 110-i (i=1, . . . , N).
Once the user 105 has logged into one of the user devices 110-i (i=1, . . . , N), the operational system of the user device generates a record of logs. The user 105 may open and close applications (for example, an Internet browser or client application) on the user devices. The user 105 may initiate, via the applications, connections to one of the remote systems 120-i (i=1, . . . , N). These activities of the user 105 (activity data) can be tracked using logs of the applications, logs of an endpoint security application, logs of an identity management system, and logs of the operational system of the user device. The activities of the user 105 can also be tracked using network logs from the router or the switch connected to the user device. Based on the determination that the user device is being utilized by the user 105, the behavior attributes monitoring system 140 can also track the relationship between the user 105 and the application, and can continue to do so over time as long as the user 105 is connected to the application via one or more user devices 110-i (i=1, . . . , N).
The activity data may include a network address of the user device, a list of active directories and files being accessed on the computing device, list of applications being executed by the computing device, list of network addresses of websites associated with the computing device, types of connections to the websites, and an amount of data transferred between the computing device and the websites or the applications.
In some embodiments, to distinguish between operations of the user device caused by the user and operations of computing device caused by the operational system and background agents running on the user devices, the behavior attributes monitoring system 140 can monitor network log data and application log data in prior to the user 105 has logged into the user device and after the user has logged off the user device. This facilitates generation of a user device baseline which can be subtracted (or otherwise accounted for) from the user behavior when the user is connected to determine the behavior that can be attributed to the user only.
The activity data determined based on network log data and application log data recorded when the user is not logged into the user device, can be attributed to user device itself. These activity data can be extracted from the activity data generated when the user is logged into the user device to obtain activity data that can be attributed to behavior of the user. The activity data attributed to the behavior of the user can be used to determine behavior attributes 230. The behavior attributes 230 can be associated with one of the user devices 110-i (i=1, . . . , N) or multiple user devices. The behavior attributes 230 may include active directories, active applications, network connections, amount of data transferred between user device and one of the remote systems, the time the user logged into the user device, the time the user logged out of the computing device, and so forth. In some embodiments, the behavior attributes 230 can be represented by a graph.
The node 310 may represent an active directory accessed by the user 105. The node 310 can be associated with a path and name of the active directory. The nodes 320 and 330 may represent applications started on the user device when the user is logged into the user device. The nodes 320 and 330 can be associated with names of applications, version of the applications, directories used by the applications and so forth. The nodes 340, 350, and 360 can represent remote systems to which the applications are connected. The nodes 340, 350, and 360 can be associated with the name of server, network address of the server, website address, and the like. The graph 300 can represent typical actions (behavior) of the user 105 while the user 105 is logged into the user device 110-1. The graph 300 can be stored in graph database 150 (shown in
The behavior attributes 230 can be associated with the user device 305 and can be further used for attributing the activity data of the user device 305 to the user 105. For example, when the user 105 is logged into the user device 305, the behavior attributes monitoring system 140 may generate, based on network log data 210 and application log data 220, a new graph representing new behavior attributes 230 during current login session. The new graph can be compared to previously recorded graphs associated with the user device to determine whether the new activity data can be attributed to the same user. The previous graphs can be stored in the graph database 150. The previous graphs can be identified based on MAC address of the user device.
If the user 105 is associated with a department or a role within an enterprise (represented by objects within an organizational unit structure, a role, or a group), then the behavior attributes (the graph) can be compared to reference behavior attributes that can be generated based on the behavior attributes of users associated with the department or the role within the enterprise.
The method 500 may commence in block 502 with determining that the user has logged into the computing device. In block 504, the method 500 may proceed, in response to the determination, with collecting log data from a plurality of telemetry sources associated with the computing device. The plurality of the telemetry sources may include one of the following: logs of endpoint security applications installed on the computing device, logs of a router providing a communications path to the computer device, logs of a cloud-based monitoring system configured to track network connections of the computer device, logs of operations of the computing devices, and logs of an identity management system.
In block 506, the method 500 may proceed with extracting, from the log data, activity data concerning activities of the computing device. Extracting the activity data can include determining a network address of the computing device, list of active directories and files being accessed on the computing device, list of applications being executed by the computing device, list of network addresses of websites associated with the computing device, types of connections to the websites, and amount of data transferred between the computing device and the websites or the applications.
In block 508, the method 500 may proceed with analyzing the activity data to determine that the activity data are attributed to the user. The method may then generate, based on the activity data, behavior attributes of the user and associate the behavior attributes with a unique identifier of the computing device. The unique identifier may include a media access control (MAC) address or a universally unique identifier (UUID) of the computing device.
The generation of the behavior attributes may include creating a graph. The graph may include nodes representing the applications and the websites and edges representing relationships between the user and the applications and/or the websites.
The method 500 may include estimating security integrity of the computing device based on comparison of the behavior attributes to reference behavior attributes. The reference behavior attributes may include further behavior attributes determined using log data of at least one further computing device associated with the user. Alternatively, the reference behavior attributes can be determined based on a plurality of further behavior attributes determined using further log data collected for a plurality of further computing devices associated with a plurality of further users having a same role within an enterprise.
The method 500 may include, prior to the determining that the user has logged into the computer device, collecting further log data from the plurality of telemetry sources associated with the computing device. The method 500 may include, prior to extracting the activity data, excluding the further log data from the log data.
