Network security teams face the challenge of analyzing massive volumes of network traffic data to identify potential threats, anomalous behavior, and security incidents. Manual analysis is impractical at scale, making automated threat detection essential.
The Challenge
Network threat detection involves:
- Processing high-volume network traffic logs
- Identifying patterns that indicate potential threats
- Cross-referencing with known threat databases
- Reducing false positives while maintaining sensitivity
- Providing actionable alerts for security teams
The Solution
Using Elvity.ai, security teams can automate network traffic analysis to identify suspicious activities, detect known threats, and generate prioritized security alerts.
Example Prompt
Analyze network traffic data to identify potential security threats and anomalous behavior.
Please perform the following security analysis:
- Process network traffic logs to identify:
- Unusual connection patterns
- High-volume data transfers
- Connections to suspicious IPs
- Potential data exfiltration attempts
- Cross-reference source IPs with known threat database
- Calculate risk scores based on multiple factors
- Generate prioritized threat alerts with details
- Provide recommendations for investigation and response
Format output as actionable security alerts with severity levels and recommended actions.
Input Data Sources
- network_traffic.csv: Network connection logs with source, destination, and traffic details
- known_threats.csv: Database of known malicious IPs and threat signatures
Analysis Process
- Traffic Analysis: Processes network logs to identify patterns
- Threat Correlation: Matches traffic against known threat indicators
- Anomaly Detection: Identifies unusual behavior patterns
- Risk Scoring: Calculates threat severity scores
- Alert Generation: Creates prioritized security alerts
- Response Recommendations: Suggests investigation and mitigation steps
Key Detection Capabilities
- Malicious IP Detection: Identifies connections to known bad actors
- Data Exfiltration: Detects unusual outbound data patterns
- Port Scanning: Identifies reconnaissance activities
- DDoS Patterns: Detects distributed attack signatures
- Lateral Movement: Identifies potential internal threat propagation
