Abstract
A method of identifying anomalous network activity. The method includes identifying, based on network data representative of network activity within a network, at least one instance of a sequence of events that occurred within the network. A probability of the sequence of events occurring during non-anomalous network activity is obtained based on transition probabilities between events in the sequence of events. A frequency characteristic dependent on a frequency at which the sequence of events occurred within the network is determined. A likelihood of the sequence of events occurring within the network at the frequency is determined based on a combination of the probability and the frequency characteristic. It is identified, based on the likelihood, that at least a portion of the network data is anomalous.
