Abstract

A computer implemented method of clustering computer systems in a plurality of systems to identify computer systems being subject to a common security occurrence, each computer system generating data records corresponding to security events in respect the systems, the method comprising: receiving a set of one or more data records associated with each computer system, each record including a sequence of data fields; generate a vector embedding for each data field in each record; evaluate a distance of each vector embedding from a reference vector as an indicator of semantic distance; identifying similar data records based on a measure of a degree of similarity of the distances of vector embeddings for each record; defining a cluster of computer systems including computer systems associated with the similar data records for applying protective measures to the computer systems in the cluster.
