Development of correlation rules for detecting cyber attacks
Dzadíková, Slavomíra ; Safonov, Yehor (referee) ; Martinásek, Zdeněk (advisor)
The diploma thesis deals with the problem of efficient processing of log records and their subsequent analysis using correlation rules. The goal of the thesis was to implement log processing in a structured form, extract individual log fields using a natural language processing model by solving a question answering problem, and develop correlation rules for detecting malicious behavior. Two datasets were produced during the task solution, one with records from Windows devices, and the other containing records from the Fortigate firewall. Pre-trained models based on the BERT and XLNet architecture were created and trained to solve the log parsing problem using the produced datasets, and the results were analyzed and compared. The second part of the thesis was devoted to the development of correlation rules, where the concept of a generic Sigma notation was investigated. It was developed, successfully tested and deployed six correlation rules into own experimental environment in Elastic Stack system. Each rule is also described by tactics, techniques and sub-techniques of the MITRE ATT&CK framework.
