Abstract
A system and method are disclosed for real-time insertion of data into a multi-dimensional database. The system includes a multi-dimensional database and a user interface operable to access and provide views into the multi-dimensional database. A data insertion engine is coupled to and operable to access the multi-dimensional database. The data insertion engine is further operable to receive and process a real-time data feed and to insert data into the multi-dimensional database responsive to processing of the real-time data feed. In one embodiment, the real-time data feed can represent exploited network vulnerabilities, and the system can be used for network intrusion detection and vulnerability assessment. The method includes receiving a real-time data feed representing detection of an event and processing the event against the multi-dimensional database. Cells associated with the event are identified in the multi-dimensional database and appropriate vectors to the identified cells are created. Data representing the event is then inserted at the identified cells. Visibility to the inserted data is provided through a user interface to the multi-dimensional database. In one embodim…
