Abstract:
According to one embodiment, an electronic device features processing circuitry and memory that includes a first logic and a second logic. When executed by the processing circuitry, the first logic organizes (i) a first plurality of indicators of compromise (IOCs) received from a first source, where the first plurality of IOCs being caused by a known origin of a malicious attack, and (ii) one or more IOCs received from a second source that is different from the first source and an origin of the one or more IOCs is unknown. The second logic conducts a predictive analysis that evaluates whether the one or more IOCs have at least a degree of correlation with the first plurality of IOCs, and determines a threat level. The threat level signifies a degree of confidence that IOCs received from the second source are caused by the known origin of the first plurality of IOCs.
