PEIMA Using Power Laws to address Denial of Service Attacks

Redezem

Mathematical approach using power laws to detect DoS attacks and other anomalous network activity.

Summary

Denial of Service Problem

DoS attacks require low resources and knowledge, are easy to deploy, and remain remarkably effective. Understanding attack patterns is critical for defense.

PEIMA Method

PEIMA is a novel approach to client-side malicious activity detection using mathematical laws typically applied in finance, text retrieval, and social media analysis. The method is fast and accurate.

Capabilities

PEIMA determines when DoS attacks start and stop without erroneously flagging legitimate heavy server interest. Beyond DoS, unusual activity metrics help detect intrusions and asset compromise.

Network Monitoring

Identifying anomalous network and user metrics provides defense advantages. The technique helps organizations understand and defend against various forms of network-based attacks.
