Abstract
A method in one example implementation includes generating a plurality of transformed views of an object in a network environment and generating a plurality of filtered information sets. The method further includes detecting a suspect correlation based on an analysis of at least some of the plurality of transformed views and of at least some of the plurality of filtered information sets. In a more specific embodiment, the analysis includes an original view of the object. Other more specific embodiments include applying filters to selected views of the object, where each of the filters is associated with a different obfuscation type. Applying the filters includes transforming obfuscation elements in the plurality of transformed views, where the object contains the one or more obfuscation elements.
