System in communication with a managed infrastructure

Abstract

A system is in communication with a managed infrastructure. An extraction engine is in communication with a managed infrastructure. The extraction engine is configured to receive managed infrastructure data and produces events as well as populates an entropy database with a dictionary of event entropy that can be included in the entropy database. A signalizer engine that includes one or more of an NMF engine, a k-means clustering engine and a topology proximity engine. The signalizer engine inputs a list of devices and a list of connections between components or nodes in the managed infrastructure. The signalizer engine determines one or more common characteristics and produces clusters of events relating to failure or errors in at least one of the devices and connections between components or nodes in the managed infrastructure. The events are converted into words and subsets to group the events into clusters that relate to security of the managed infrastructure. In response to grouping the events, physical changes are made to at least a portion of the physical hardware. In response to production of the clusters, security of the managed infrastructure is maintained.
