Abstract
Computer program products and methods of inspecting a log of security records in a computer network are provided. The method includes retrieving a log record, processing the log record including deriving a key to a table, determining a data value from information in the log record and adding the data value to a list of data values associated with the key if the data value is unique. One or more entries of the table are evaluated based on predetermined criteria to detect attempted security breaches.
