Abstract

Network anomalies refer to situations when observed network traffic deviate from normal network behaviour. In this paper, we propose a general framework which assumes the use of many different attack detection methods and show a way to integrate their results. We checked our approach by the use of network topology analysis methods applied to communication graphs. Based on this evaluation, we have proposed a measure called the AttackScore, which assesses the risk of an on-going attack and distinguishes between the effectiveness of the analytic measures used to detect it.
