Abstract
In one embodiment, a method includes receiving at a security analysis device a plurality of indicators of compromise (IOCs) associated with an entity, sorting at the security analysis device, the IOCs based on a time of occurrence of each of the IOCs, creating a representation of transitions between the IOCs at the security analysis device, and generating at the security analysis device, a feature vector based on the representation of transitions. The feature vector is configured for use by a classifier in identifying malicious entities. An apparatus and logic are also disclosed herein.
