Abstract
Example network monitoring methods disclosed herein include iteratively adjusting respective weights assigned to respective types of network activity features for devices monitored in a network, the iterative adjusting to determine an output set of weights corresponding to ones of the types of network activity features indicative of malicious network activity. For example, the iterative adjusting is to (1) reduce a first distance calculated between a first pair of reference devices previously classified as being associated with malicious network activity, and (2) increase a second distance calculated between a first one of the pair of the reference devices and a first unclassified device. Disclosed example network monitoring methods also include determining whether a second unclassified device is associated with malicious network activity based on the output set of weights.
