Abstract

Some embodiments provide a method for detecting a threat to a datacenter. The method receives a set of connections between a set of DCNs in the datacenter over a particular time period. The set of DCNs includes at least a first DCN at which a first anomalous event was detected. The method analyzes a set of detected anomalous events to identify additional anomalous events detected at other DCNs in the set of DCNs during the particular time period. Based on the first anomalous event and identified additional anomalous events, the method determines whether the anomalous events indicate a threat to the datacenter.
