Abstract
A method and system for detecting malicious threat activity or event sequences is disclosed. In an embodiment, the method may include generating one or more malicious sequence detection rules defined in a domain specific language. The method may include generating a rules repository configured to receive and store one or more pre-defined rules and one or more curated sets of malicious sequence detection rules. The method may include monitoring networks and/or computing devices to detect malicious threat activity or event sequences based on the one or more curated sets of malicious sequence detection rules. The method may include aggregating malicious threat activity or event sequences detected within a predetermined time frame and generating a threat score and, if the threat score exceeds a threshold score, generating an alert.
