Abstract

Malware activity detection for networked computing systems is described. A network session record is provided to a machine learning (ML) model configured to generate an indication of whether the provided network session record evidences malware activity. The network session record indicates network traffic activity in a time period. Responsive to an indication by the ML model, correlation scores are calculated by, for each process session record in a process session record set, calculating a correlation score indicative of a correlation between the provided network session record and the process session record. Each process session record in the process session record set corresponds to a process executed by a computing device in the time period. A determination that a correlation score indicates a corresponding process session record is indicative of the evidenced malware activity is made. Responsive to the determination, a malware activity alert is generated.
