Abstract
Systems and methods may use automation discovery to identify malicious activity. An automation discovery system comprising a processor in communication with a network and in communication with a database may receive potentially automated network traffic data. The system may analyze the potentially automated network traffic data to determine whether the potentially automated network traffic data is likely to be automated. When the potentially automated network traffic data is not likely to be automated, the system may generate a low automation confidence score associated with the potentially automated network traffic data. When the potentially automated network traffic data is likely to be automated, the system may generate a high automation confidence score associated with the potentially automated network traffic data.
