Leverage Log360's anomaly detection framework for threat detection

Log360 delivers strong anomaly detection that identifies behavioral deviations across your environment. These models are continuously updated and mapped to the MITRE ATT&CK® framework, ensuring coverage against both known attack patterns and emerging threats.

Comprehensive anomaly coverage: Identify deviations in user and entity behavior through time-, count-, and pattern-based anomalies.

  • Time-based anomaly: A user logs in at midnight instead of usual morning hours.
  • Count-based anomaly: An unanticipated spike in the number of firewall rule modifications within a short time window.
  • Pattern-based anomaly: An administrator resets password after repeated failed logins, then deletes logs.

Optimize detection accuracy by fine-tuning these anomaly models with parameters that perfectly match your expected baselines.

Custom rule creation: Specify custom correlation logic, appropriate contextual factors, and set thresholds unique to your business operations to detect unusual single-event behavior like failed file accesses, group or account deleted, and more.

Contextual risk scoring that helps you put critical threats first

Cut through the noise intuitively by assigning more weight to risky activities like unauthorized access, abnormal login failures, and file deletions. With customizable weights and decay factors, you define how risk is measured in your environment, ensuring that the most critical threats are always prioritized.

  • Behavioral baselining: Establish normal patterns for every user and entity by analyzing typical login times, resource access patterns, and data interactions. When activities deviate, like unusual file downloads or irregular login attempts, you receive contextually-aware alerts.
  • Customizable risk weighting: Tailor Log360’s risk scoring to match your organization’s unique security priorities. Assign higher scores to critical events like privilege escalations or sensitive data access while setting lower scores for routine administrative actions that match your security priorities.
  • Dynamic peer group: Automatically organize users and entities into peer groups based on roles, departments, access patterns, and behavioral similarities. A database administrator's 3am maintenance task is normal; the same activity from a marketing manager triggers an alert.
  • Adaptive group refinement: Refine group memberships automatically to keep behavioral baselines aligned with your current organizational structure. Log360 ensures risk scoring stays relevant, minimizes false positives, and prevents alert fatigue caused by outdated activity profiles.

Automated response to contain anomalies faster

Accelerate incident containment through automated incident response workflows that act on validated threats.

Key capabilities of MITRE ATT&CK-aligned dashboards:

  • Automated response actions: Immediately disable compromised accounts, terminate suspicious processes, or isolate affected systems when high-risk anomalies are detected.
  • Workflow orchestration: Chain multiple response actions based on anomaly type and severity. Define escalation paths that notify security teams, gather forensic evidence, and initiate containment automatically.
  • Integrated ticketing and collaboration: Integrate with external ticketing tools like Zendesk, ServiceNow, and ManageEngine ServiceDesk Plus to manage incidents effectively. Automatically create tickets with complete anomaly context when there is an alert, track investigation progress, and maintain audit trails for compliance reporting.

AI-powered anomaly analysis with Zia

Zia, Log360's AI-powered security assistant, turns fragmented security data into clear, contextual insights by automatically connecting users, devices, IPs, attack patterns, and other investigation context.

  • Automated event correlation: Connect related activities across users, devices, and networks to reveal the full story behind every alert. Instead of sifting through isolated events, analysts get a unified view of correlated incidents, making it easier to spot attack campaigns, understand impact, and respond faster.
  • MITRE ATT&CK® framework mapping: Map threat behaviors to specific adversary tactics and techniques for clarity. Understand attack progression, anticipate next moves, and strengthen defenses with contextual insights from Zia.
  • Actionable remediation guidance: Get tailored response recommendations for each validated threat to contain and remediate threats with precision. Accelerate incident response with clear actions for each scenario from isolating systems to blocking malicious IPs.

Real-world anomaly detection examples: Uncover insider threats, credential-based attacks, and more

Leverage Log360's adaptive, ML-powered anomaly to detect sophisticated attacks.

The solution empowers security teams with intelligent anomaly detection through insider threat detection.

  • Compromised account detection

    Spot compromised credentials by detecting activities inconsistent with established user behavior, including impossible travel scenarios or unusual resource access.

  • Credential-based attack detection

    Monitor attempts to change user account passwords in Windows that repeatedly fail or occur in abnormal patterns, helping you detect credential-based attacks early.

Example: Suspicious bulk file activity

This detection logic identifies unusual file modification activity using Log360’s anomaly-based rule set, which correlates behavioral deviations across users, hosts, and file types. It is mapped to the MITRE ATT&CK framework techniques for Defense Evasion (TA0005) and Privilege Escalation (TA0004).

Example: Excessive software update attempts

This detection logic identifies anomalous software update activity using Log360’s anomaly-based rule set, which correlates deviations across users, hosts, and update patterns. It is mapped to the MITRE ATT&CK framework techniques for Defense Evasion (TA0005) and Privilege Escalation (TA0004).

Abnormal password change patterns

The detection logic used for identifying this activity is part of Log360's comprehensive anomaly rule library, which is mapped to the MITRE ATT&CK framework (Defense Evasion (TA0005), Privilege Escalation (TA0004), and Modify Authentication Process (T1556.001).

Frequently Asked Questions

Anomaly detection identifies unusual patterns or behaviors that deviate from established norms. It monitors network traffic, user activities, and system performance to spot irregularities that might indicate security threats or operational issues. This technique uses statistical models and ML to flag suspicious activities automatically, enabling a faster response to potential problems.

Log360 detects three main anomaly types: time anomalies (activities at unusual times), count anomalies (excessive actions beyond normal thresholds), and pattern anomalies (unexpected event sequences). These help identify insider threats, data exfiltration, logon irregularities, and compromised accounts by assigning risk scores for effective threat detection.

Anomaly detection struggles with defining normal behavior, high false positives, evolving patterns, and noisy data. Log360 bridges these gaps with advanced behavioral analytics that continuously learns from changing patterns to detect true security anomalies in real time.

Log360 reduces false positives through layered threat detection, adaptive thresholds, and smart filters. It also uses object filtering and provides rule tuning insights to enhance detection accuracy.

Log360 excels in anomaly detection by using ML for UEBA, with custom models, peer group analysis, risk scoring, and seasonality consideration. With its GenAI-powered Zia, you can also gain insights into how to respond to them with confidence.
