Abstract
A computer-implemented method for dynamically identifying security threats comprising a cyber-attack chain composed of a sequence of partial cyber-attacks represented by attack patterns may be provided. The method comprises receiving a sequence of security events, determining, a first cyber-attack pattern by applying a set of predefined rules for detecting an indicator of compromise of a first partial cyber-attack of the cyber-attack chain—thereby, identifying a specific cyber-attack chain—and determining a type and an attribute in the pattern of the first partial cyber-attack. The method comprises further configuring at least one rule for a downstream partial cyber-attack in the specific cyber-attack chain based on the type and the attribute in the attack pattern of the first partial cyber-attack, and adding the at least one configured rule to the set of predefined rules to be used by the correlation engine for dynamically identifying security threats to information technology systems.
