Personam is VIGILANT

All threats are behavioral anomalies

Not all behavioral anomalies are threats.

Network activity is ripe with anomalies. Alerting on 1st degree anomalies only raises false alarms.

Out-of-character anomalies are 2nd degree anomalous. There are fewer of these, and they strongly correlate with threats.

Personam detects movement against the norms of the network

  • Behavioral anomalies are scrutinized by type.
  • In-character & in-family behavior establishes norms (including anomalous).
  • Second-degree behaviors against the norms are singled out.

2nd degree out-of-family anomalies are even stronger

All 2nd degree behavioral anomalies are important. Most are malicious.
