Abstract
Securing network devices by forecasting future security incidents for a network based on past security incidents. In one embodiment, a method may include constructing past inside-in security features for a network, constructing past outside-in security features for the network, and employing dynamic time warping to generate a similarity score for each security feature pair in the past inside-in security features, in the past outside-in security features, and between the past inside-in security features and the past outside-in security features. The method may further include generating a Coupled Gaussian Latent Variable (CGLV) model based on the similarity scores, forecasting future inside-in security features for the network using the CGLV model, and performing a security action on one or more network devices of the network based on the forecasted future inside-in security features for the network.
