Abstract
Method and apparatus for port sweep detection in a network is described. In one example, log data is obtained for a period of time. The log data is associated with a plurality of devices in the network. The log data is processed to identify connection requests from a source key for a port at a number of target internet protocol (IP) addresses. An alarm is generated if the number of target IP addresses associated with the connection requests from the source key exceeds a threshold.
