Abstract
Automated security systems and methods include a set monitored systems, each having one or more corresponding monitors configured to record system state information. A progressive software behavioral query language (PROBEQL) database is configured to store the system state information from the monitored systems. A query optimizing module is configured to optimize a database query for parallel execution using spatial and temporal information relating to elements in the PROBEQL database. The optimized database query is split into sub-queries with sub-queries being divided spatially according to host and temporally according to time window. A parallel execution module is configured to execute the sub-queries on the PROBEQL database in parallel. A results module is configured to output progressive results of the database query. A security control system is configured to perform a security control action in accordance with the progressive results.
