Abstract

Security technology in computer network including anomaly detection is increasingly playing an important role in the government and protection of Internet along with its popularity. Anomaly detection uses data mining techniques to detect the unknown malicious behavior. Various hybrid approaches have been proposed in order to detect outliers more accurately recently. This paper proposes a novel hybrid of clusterings and graph to detect anomaly. We introduce a new holistic approach in a common bipartite scenario of users from intranet accessing to Internet that utilizes different types of clusterings for the individual feature data to find the outliers and then a graph model to take advantage of the relational data naming network to enhance anomaly detection. The framework solution has several advantages: taking consideration of individual feature data and relational data, keeping open to extend different types of clusterings, easily appending more domain knowledge.
