Abstract
Methods for providing alerts in a network are disclosed. Some methods include collecting network traffic data corresponding to multiple subsets of network addresses during a predefined time interval. A suspect subset of the subsets of network addresses that corresponds to anomalous network activity may be identified based on the network traffic data and using at least one of multiple anomaly detection metrics. A source network address within the suspect subset of network addresses that corresponds to the anomalous network activity is identified. An alert corresponding to the source network address may be generated.
