Abstract
Techniques are disclosed of detection and analysis of network-based assets under common management by an entity. Network-based assets that are under common management by an entity may be owned or associated with the entity. Some network assets may appear to be under the common management of an entity, but may be operated by an unauthorized entity. Detecting a relationship between or ownership of network assets for malicious network activity may be a challenge. Specifically, the connection between authorized assets and unauthorized assets may be difficult to identify, especially if assets are masked or changed to evade detection. A network analytic system is disclosed that can process different data from multiple sources (e.g., at least multiple, disparate data sources) to identify relationships between network-based assets.
