Abstract:
Various embodiments of apparatuses and methods for distributed threat sensor data collection and data export of a malware threat intelligence system are described. In some embodiments, the system comprises a plurality of threat sensors, deployed at different network addresses and physically located in different geographic regions in a provider network, which detect interactions from sources. In some embodiments, a distributed threat sensor data collection and data export service receives a stream of sensor logs from the plurality of threat sensors. The stream of sensor logs has information about interactions with the threat sensors, including an identifier of the source. The service aggregates the information in the sensor logs by the source, computes significance scores for each source where a significance score quantifies a likelihood that the source is engaging in threatening network communications, and provides the significance scores to other destinations.
