Abstract

Systems and methods of the present disclosure provide technology to identify when network-connected devices are likely infected with malware. Network communications are be monitored during a specific time window and a graph is created for a conditional random field (CRF) model. Vertices of the graph represent devices connected to the network and an edge between two vertices indicates that one or more network communications occurred between two devices represented by the two vertices during the time window. Network devices can report observations about network behavior during the time window and the observations can be used as input for the CRF model. The CRF model can then be used to determine infection-status values for the network devices.
