Semantic-Enhanced Attack Scenario Reconstruction Using Property Graph and Modular Ontologies
摘要
Attack scenario reconstruction is a crucial subtask of network security situation awareness. To obtain comprehensive attack scenarios, reconstruction methods need to analyze traffic, alerts, and logs from the monitored network. However, such security data typically features high volume and redundancy, making it difficult to identify relevant attack scenarios in complex network environments. To address this challenge, this paper proposes a semantic-enhanced attack scenario reconstruction method. The method constructs a property graph containing aggregated alerts and network events based on modular ontologies, and employs a projection graph construction approach that incorporates alert contexts. We utilize ontology to analyze relationships between aggregated alerts and attacks, and extract potential attack behavior chains combined with temporal information. Experiments demonstrate that our approach achieves superior completeness and soundness compared to existing methods, while maintaining computational efficiency in processing large-scale security data.
