Abstract
A method, system, apparatus, and computer-readable medium to detect rapidly propagating threats in a network. A rapidly propagating threat is detected by capturing a series of packets as the packets are communicated to nodes of the organizational network. The rapidly propagating threat can be detected without relying upon a known signature for the threat. Behavior of nodes when sending and receiving packets is examined for patterns typical of worm propagation.
