Abstract

Embodiments of the invention address the problem of detecting bots in network traffic based on a classification model learned during a training phase using machine learning algorithms based on features extracted from network data associated with either known malicious or known non-malicious client and applying the learned classification model to features extracted in real-time from current network data. The features represent communication activities between the known malicious or known non-malicious client and a number of servers in the network.
