    摘要: A network security system having a hierarchical configuration is provided. In one embodiment the present invention includes a plurality of subsystems, where each subsystem includes a plurality of distributed software agents configured to collect base security events from monitor devices, and a local manager module coupled to the plurality of distributed software agents to generate correlated events by correlating the base security events. Each subsystem can also include a filter coupled to the manager module to select which base security events are to be processed further. The selected base security events are passed to a global manager module coupled to the plurality of subsystems that generates global correlated events by correlating the base security events selected for further processing by each filter of each subsystem.

    摘要: First stage meta-events are generated based on analyzing time attributes of base events received from a network component. Second stage meta-events are generated based on a number of the first stage meta-events that have a time attribute falling within a time period. An amount of time that has passed since a most-recent second stage meta-event was generated is determined, and if a threshold time period does not exceed the amount of time that has passed since the most-recent second stage meta-event was detected, a third stage meta-event is determined.

    摘要: A user interface for a network security console associated with multiple network security devices is disclosed. A graphical user interface (GUI) for use with an intrusion detection system, comprises a radar display that is configured to simulate a stream of time-based events chronologically. In addition, one or more playback controls are configured to control the stream during simulation. In further embodiments, the radar display includes a slider configured to allow a user to jump to events that occurred at a user-defined time.

    摘要: Security events generated by a number of network devices are gathered and normalized to produce normalized security events in a common schema. The normalized security events are cross-correlated according to rules to generate meta-events. The security events may be gathered remotely from a system at which the cross-correlating is performed. Any meta-events that are generated may be reported by generating alerts for display at one or more computer consoles, or by sending an e-mail message, a pager message, a telephone message, and/or a facsimile message to an operator or other individual. In addition to reporting the meta-events, the present system allows for taking other actions specified by the rules, for example executing scripts or other programs to reconfigure one or more of the network devices, and or to modify or update access lists, etc.

    摘要: In one embodiment, the present invention provides for receiving security events from a network device by a distributed software agent of a network security system, determining a priority of each received security event, and storing the security events in a plurality of prioritized event buffers based on the determined priorities for a period of time determined by a timer. Upon expiration of the timer, a batch of security events for transport to a security event manager of the network security system can be created by including security events in the batch in order of priority until the batch is full.

    摘要: Clocks used by network security devices can be synchronized by a network security system. In one embodiment, the synchronization can include the network security system receiving a first stream of alerts from a first network security device having a first clock, each alert in the first stream representing an event detected by the first network security device and including a time of detection by the first network security device according to the first clock. Similarly, the network security system can receive a second stream of alerts from a second network security device having a second clock, each alert in the second stream representing an event detected by the second network security device and including a time of detection by the second network security device according to the second clock. The system can then identify a common event represented by a first alert in the first stream from the first network security device and by a second alert in the second stream from the second network security device, and then synchronize the first clock and the second clock using the common event.
