cGraph: Graph Based Extensible Cyber Threat Intelligence Platform

Abstract

Abstract Cyber security, also referred to as computer security, is the field of study where computer systems and networks are protected from malicious digital attacks such as spam attacks, phishing attacks, malware attacks, and ransomware attacks from perpetrators. The number of cyber threats and malicious attacks continue to rise each year globally at a rapid pace and thus there is a need for implementing proper and effective cyber security measures and recognizing possible attacks or malicious internet resources early on. To address this issue, we propose ”cGraph: Graph Based Extensible Cyber Threat Intelligence Platform” which is a scalable big data processing and storing system that uses intelligence derived from state-of-the-art graph inference algorithms utilizing vast amounts of passive DNS network traces and limited amount of external threat intelligence.
