Abstract
A computer-implemented method for creating security profiles may include (1) identifying, within a computing environment, a new actor as a target for creating a new security behavior profile that defines expected behavior for the new actor, (2) identifying a weighted graph that connects the new actor as a node to other actors, (3) creating, by analyzing the weighted graph, the new security behavior profile based on the new actor's specific position within the weighted graph, (4) detecting a security anomaly by comparing actual behavior of the new actor within the computing environment with the new security behavior profile that defines expected behavior for the new actor, and (5) performing, by a computer security system, a remedial action in response to detecting the security anomaly. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.
