Abstract
The subject matter of this specification generally relates to computer security. In some implementations, a method includes maintaining a first data structure that stores arrays of identifier tuples. Each identifier tuple corresponds to a respective computer security event and includes one or more identifiers for a computing element associated with the computer security event. Each array of identifier tuples corresponds to a respective identifier and only includes identifier tuples that include the corresponding identifier. A second data structure that stores arrays of computer security data is maintained. Each array of computer security data corresponds to a respective identifier tuple stored in the first data structure and only includes computer security data associated with each identifier in the corresponding identifier tuple. A query that specifies a first identifier for a first computing element is received. Identifier tuples that each include the first identifier are obtained from the first data structure.
