Abstract
Disclosed are techniques for monitoring and identifying attempts to subvert a security wall within a network infrastructure. A method can include receiving, by a network security system monitoring and protecting the network infrastructure, network activity for the network infrastructure, determining whether the network activity triggers at least one security event rule, blocking the network activity when the network activity triggers the rule, determining a sensitivity level associated with the network activity, starting a timer based on the sensitivity level satisfying a threshold level of sensitivity, continuously monitoring subsequent network activity until the timer expires, determining whether the subsequent network activity triggers one or more security event rules before the timer expires, associating the blocked network activity with the subsequent network activity if the subsequent network activity triggers the rules, and generating an alert indicating the associated network activity as an attempt to subvert a security wall within the network infrastructure.
