Abstract
The disclosed computer-implemented method for detecting security incidents may include (i) collecting, by a security server, security information describing security events detected on at least one client device, (ii) generating, based on the collected security information, a mathematical graph that includes a set of nodes designating machine-windows of data and a set of nodes designating detected security events, (iii) executing a random-walk-with-restart algorithm on the generated mathematical graph to sort the set of nodes designating machine-windows of data in terms of relevance to a set of ground truth nodes that indicate confirmed security threats, and (iv) performing a remedial security action to protect a user in response to detecting a candidate security threat based on sorting the set of nodes designating machine-windows of data by executing the random-walk-with-restart algorithm. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.
