    Abstract: Techniques are described for analyzing data regarding activity in an IT environment to determine information regarding the entities associated with the activity and using the information to detect anomalous activity that may be indicative of malicious activity. In an embodiment, a plurality of events reflecting activity by a plurality of entities in an IT environment are processed to resolve the identities of the entities, discover how the entities fit within a topology of the IT environment, and determine what the entities are. This information is then used to generate an entity relationship graph that includes nodes representing the entities in the IT environment and edges connecting the nodes representing interaction relationships between the entities. In some embodiments, baselines are established by monitoring the activity between entities. This baseline information can be represented in the entity relationship graph in the form of directionality applied to the edges. The entity relationship graph can then be monitored to detect anomalous activity.

    Abstract: Techniques for identifying attack behavior based on scripting language activity are disclosed. A security monitoring system generates a behavior profile for a first client device based on scripting language commands included in a first set of raw machine data received from the first client device, where the first client device is coupled to a network, and the first set of raw machine data is associated with network traffic received by or transmitted from the first client device. The security monitoring system analyzes a second set of raw machine data received from the first client device, where the second set of raw machine data is associated with subsequent network traffic received by or transmitted from the first client device. The security monitoring system detects an anomaly in the second set of raw machine data based on the behavior profile, and initiates a mitigation action in response to detecting the anomaly.
