Abstract

A method and apparatus for automatically correlating policy violation incidents. In one embodiment, the method includes receiving user input identifying one of policy violation incidents stored in a data repository, where each policy violation incident is associated with one or more attributes. The method further includes automatically correlating the identified policy violation incident with other policy violation incidents that have in common at least one attribute with the identified policy violation incident, and presenting the resulting correlation information to a user.
