Abstract
A system and method for attacker interdiction using user-level network trace and tracking which leverages the uniqueness of verified authentication objects as metadata tags on captured network packets to gain insight at the user-level of how a network and various applications interact. The tagged network packets may be tracked, and the resulting data formed into a trace and track dataset to create one or more user-level dependency graphs alongside captured temporal dynamics. The trace and track dataset may be enriched with application trace information and runtime instruction data to improve the dependency graphs and provide deeper insight into application and user security on a given network. Attacks may be detected by analyzing the dependency graphs, and attacker interdiction may be implemented by actively orchestrating network security and IT devices using SOAR workflows.
