Incident Investigation and Forensics

• Security incidents can occur without warning and can often go undetected long enough to pose a serious threat to an organization. Usually by the time security teams are aware of an issue, there’s a good chance the damage has been done. [1]

Security Monitoring
• Security monitoring enables you to analyse a continuous stream of near-real-time data for threats and other potential security issues. Data sources for monitoring include network and endpoint systems–as well as cloud devices, data centre systems and applications. [1]

Advanced Threat Detection
• An advanced persistent threat (APT) is a set of stealthy and continuous computer-hacking processes, often orchestrated by a person or persons targeting a specific entity. APTs usually target private organizations and/or states for business or political motives. [1]

Incident Response
• Incident Response (IR) involves the monitoring and detection of security events on IT systems, and the execution of response plans to those events. IR Teams are sometimes called blue teams. Blue teams defend an organization’s infrastructure when threats are detected, whereas red teams attempt to discover weaknesses in the existing configuration of those same systems. [1]

Compliance
• In nearly all environments, there are regulatory requirements in one form or another–especially when dealing with the likes of General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS), (SOX) and even common guidelines that aren’t considered true compliance. [1]

Fraud Analytics and Detection
• Machine data plays a pivotal role in and is at the heart of detecting fraudulent activities in the digital age. [1]

Insider Threat Detection
Image source: www.splunk.com
• Insider threats come from current or former employees, contractors or partners who have access to the corporate network and intentionally or accidentally exfiltrate, misuse or destroy sensitive data. They often have legitimate access to networks and permission to download sensitive material, easily evading traditional security products. [1]

“Visibility into network traffic is critical for any security team. The priority is to see what types of traffic are entering and exiting your network. It’s critical to see the traffic that’s permitted as well as communication attempts that have been blocked.” [1]
Sample source
• Firewall traffic logs

Example: Firewall Traffic Logs
Data source: Splunk Boss of the SOC 2.0 Dataset

“Endpoint logs complement network visibility to give insight into malicious activities such as malware execution, an insider performing unauthorized activity or an attacker dwelling in your network.” [1]
Sample source
• Windows Event Logs
• Linux System Logs
• Linux Auditing System (Linux AuditD) • MacOS System Logs

Authentication
“Authentication logs can tell you when and from where users are accessing systems and applications. Since most successful attacks eventually include the use of valid credentials, this data is critical in helping to tell the difference between a valid login and an account takeover.” [1]
Sample source
• Windows Active Directory
• Local Authentication
• Identity & Access Management (IAM)

Example: Windows Active Directory Logs
Data source: Splunk Boss of the SOC 2.0 Dataset
COMP90073 Security Analytics © University of Melbourne 2021
Web Activity
“Many attacks start with a user visiting a malicious website or end with valuable data being exfiltrated to a site that the attacker controls. Visibility into who’s accessing what sites and when is critical for investigation.” [1]
Sample source
• Next generation firewall (NGFW) traffic filters logs • Web proxy logs

Research Benchmark Datasets Overview
• KDDcup99 Dataset
• NSL-KDD Dataset
• DARPA 2000 Dataset • CAIDA Dataset
COMP90073 Security Analytics © University of Melbourne 2021
KDDcup99 Dataset
• Most widely used dataset to evaluate Network based Anomaly Detection methods & systems. Attack scenarios include:
– Denial of service (DoS): An attacker attempts to prevent valid users from using a service provided by a system
– Remote to local (r2l): Attackers try to gain entrance to a victim machine without having an account on it, e.g., guessing password
– User to root (u2r): Attackers have access to a local victim machine and attempt to gain privilege of a superuser (root)
– Probing: Attackers attempt to acquire information about the target host, e.g., port scanning.

NSL-KDD Dataset
• Problem with KDDcup99: redundant records [3]
– 78% and 75% of the records are duplicated in the train and test set
• A new dataset consisting of selected records of KDDcup99 dataset which improves the evaluation performance

CAIDA Dataset
• CAIDA collects many different types of data and makes them available to the research community. CAIDA datasets are very specific to particular events or attacks, such as the DDoS 2007 dataset. Most of its longer traces are anonymized backbone traces without their payload.
