Systems and methods for responding to electronic security incidents

Abstract

The disclosed computer-implemented method for responding to electronic security incidents may include (i) identifying a plurality of security incidents that each occurred within a computing environment and call for a security response, (ii) establishing relationships among the plurality of security incidents by, for each security incident, (a) calculating a feature vector indicating at least one feature of the security incident, (b) using the feature vector to calculate a degree of similarity between the security incident and an additional security and (c) creating an association between the security incident and the additional security incident that reflects the degree of similarity between the security incident and the additional security incident, and (iii) triggering, based on the relationships among the plurality of security incidents, a security action that responds to at least the security incident and the additional security incident. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.
