Automated Network Anomaly Detection with AI Integration

Automated Network Anomaly Detection and Response

1. Data Collection

1.1 Network Traffic Monitoring

Utilize tools such as Wireshark and NetFlow Analyzer to capture and analyze network traffic.

1.2 Log Aggregation

Implement ELK Stack (Elasticsearch, Logstash, Kibana) for centralized logging of network events.

2. Anomaly Detection

2.1 AI Model Training

Employ machine learning algorithms to identify baseline network behavior using tools like TensorFlow or PyTorch.

2.2 Real-Time Anomaly Detection

Integrate AI-driven solutions such as Darktrace or Vectra AI to monitor network behavior and detect anomalies in real-time.

3. Alert Generation

3.1 Automated Alerting System

Set up automated alerts through platforms like PagerDuty or Opsgenie to notify IT personnel of detected anomalies.

4. Response Mechanism

4.1 Incident Response Playbooks

Develop and maintain incident response playbooks that outline specific actions based on the type of anomaly detected.

4.2 Automated Response Actions

Utilize tools such as Splunk Phantom or IBM Resilient for automated threat containment and mitigation strategies.

5. Post-Incident Review

5.1 Analysis and Reporting

Conduct a thorough analysis of the incident using reporting tools like ServiceNow to document findings and responses.

5.2 Continuous Improvement

Review and update AI models and incident response playbooks based on lessons learned to enhance future anomaly detection and response capabilities.

6. Compliance and Auditing

6.1 Compliance Monitoring

Ensure adherence to industry regulations using compliance tools such as Qualys or Rapid7.

6.2 Regular Audits

Schedule periodic audits of network security measures and anomaly detection processes to ensure effectiveness and compliance.
