Abstract

A method identifies and prioritizes anomalies in received monitoring logs from an endpoint log source. One or more processors identify anomalies in the monitoring logs by applying a plurality of disparate types of anomaly detection algorithms to the monitoring logs, and then determine a likelihood that the identified anomalies are anomalous based on outputs of the plurality of disparate types of anomaly detection algorithms. The processor(s) then prioritize the monitoring logs based on the likelihood that the identified anomalies are actually anomalous, and send prioritized monitoring logs that exceed a priority level to a security information and event management system (SIEM).
