“…Decent efforts have been also made to deploy intelligent agents on the network: Alert management : Moummadi et al (2014) proposed to use a Multi-Agent approach to manage network alerts and offer remote monitoring and real-time notification in mobile devices. The architecture uses eight types of agents that work together to detect, classify events and send notification of failures and impending problems to users' mobile phones. Password management : In a different problem, mobile agents were used to manage the user's passwords by developing an application which hosts two Agent profiles: a crypto Agent which encrypts the stored password using the advanced encryption standard (AES) algorithm, and an application agent that acts as a third-party software in between the password management application and the crypto agent during the process of encryption and decryption (Awang et al , 2017). …”

Purpose This paper aims to propose a mobile agent-based security information and event management architecture (MA-SIEM) that uses mobile agents for near real-time event collection and normalization on the source device. The externalization of the normalization process, executed by several distributed mobile agents on interconnected computers and devices, proposes a SIEM server dedicated mainly for correlation and analysis. Design/methodology/approach The architecture has been proposed in three stages. In the first step, the authors described the different aspects of the proposed approach. Then they implemented the proposed architecture and presented a new vision for the insertion of normalized data into the SIEM database. Finally, the authors performed a numerical comparison between the approach used in the proposed architecture and that of existing SIEM systems. Findings The results of the experiments showed that MA-SIEM systems are more efficient than existing SIEM systems because they leave the SIEM resources primarily dedicated to advanced correlation analysis. In addition, this paper takes into account realistic scenarios and use-cases and proposes a fully automated process for transferring normalized events in near real time to the SIEM server for further analysis using mobile agents. Originality/value The work provides new insights into the normalization security-related events using light mobile agents.
