Abstract

A computer-implemented technique provides rules for use in a malicious activity detection system. The technique involves performing evaluation operations on a plurality of malicious activity detection rules. The technique further involves ranking the plurality of malicious activity detection rules in an order based on results of the evaluation operations (e.g., sorting the rules systematically in an order based on measures such as precision, recall, correlation to other rules already in use, etc.). The technique further involves, based on the order of the plurality of malicious activity detection rules, providing a malicious activity detection rule report which recommends a set of malicious activity detection rules of the plurality of malicious activity detection rules for use in the malicious activity detection system.
