Abstract
A system and method for hardening security within a physical location. At least one cable in the physical location is monitored for errors. In response to detecting an error on the cable a cable fault analysis procedure is performed to determine the location of the fault on the cable. A probability that the fault is caused by a threat actor is calculated based upon the location of the fault on the cable. The probability can be calculated using mixture modules of known nonthreat locations using supervised learning approaches. At least one security protocol at the physical location is implemented in response to the location of the fault having a probability that the fault location is related to a threat actor exceeding a threshold value.
