User and entity behavior analytics (UEBA) is an anomaly detection technique that identifies potential threat events in the enterprise's internal threat analysis and external intrusion detection. One limitation of existing methods in UEBA is that many algorithms use deterministic algorithms only for one category labeling and only compare with other samples within this category. In order to improve the efficiency of potential threat identification, we propose a model to detect multi-homed abnormal behavior based on fuzzy particle swarm clustering. Using the behavior frequency-inverse entities frequency (BF-IEF) technology, the method of measuring the similarity of entity and user behavior is optimized. To improve the iterative speed of the fuzzy clustering algorithm, the particle swarm is introduced into the search process of the category centroid. The entity's nearest neighbor relative anomaly factor (NNRAF) in multiple fuzzy categories is calculated according to the category membership matrix, and it is combined with boxplot to detect outliers. Our model solves the problem that the sample in UEBA is evaluated only in one certain class, and the characteristics of the particle swarm optimization algorithm can avoid clustering results falling into local optimal. The results show that compared with the traditional UEBA approach, the abnormal behavior detection ability of the new method is significantly improved, which can improve the ability of information systems to resist unknown threats in practical applications. In the experiment, the accuracy rate, accuracy rate, recall rate, and F1 score of the new method reach 0.92, 0.96, 0.90, and 0.93 respectively, which is significantly better than the traditional abnormal detections.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
