Abstract
Methods, systems, and computer storage media for providing security incident management using a latent-context alert correlation engine in a security management system. Security incident management is provided using the latent-context alert correlation engine that is operationally integrated into the security management system. In operation, first security data of a first alert and second security data of a second alert are accessed. The first alert and the second alert do not share a common entity identifiable in a security graph. Using the first security data and the second security data, a determination is made that the first alert is connected to the second alert based on a latent-context connection. The latent-context connection is a known attack path connection that indirectly connects alerts. Based on determining that the first alert is connected to the second alert, a security incident is generated for the alert. A notification comprising the security incident is communicated.
