... the process of identifying data points in a dataset or system that falls outside the norm.

CONT

Anomaly detection is an important issue in many application domains. For example, cybercrime can cause considerable economic losses and threaten [a company's] survival. Securing ... information [systems] has become a priority and a strategic issue for all types of companies.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Analyse des systèmes informatiques
  • Sécurité des TI
DEF

[...] processus qui consiste à identifier des points de données en dehors de la norme dans un ensemble de données ou un système.

CONT

La détection d'anomalies est un problème en plein essor et qui revêt une importance dans plusieurs domaines. À titre d'exemple, la cybercriminalité peut provoquer des pertes économiques considérables et menacer la survie [d'une entreprise. La sécurité des systèmes] d'information est devenue une priorité et un enjeu stratégiques pour tous les types d'entreprises.

Subject field(s)
  • Artificial Intelligence
  • IT Security
CONT

[The network software] augments its artificial intelligence-driven anomaly detection capabilities with automated malware scanning. During backup operations, backups are checked for anomalies in near real-time. If anomalies are suspected, malware scanning is automatically initiated to determine if backups contain malware. If a malware scan is positive, data protection, replication, and expiry can be automatically paused for infected targets to contain the spread and prevent expiration of backups with uninfected data.

Subject field(s)
  • IT Security
  • Artificial Intelligence
CONT

Collective anomaly detection ... focuses on identifying groups or subsets of data points that exhibit anomalous behavior as a whole, even if individual data points appear normal ... This type of anomaly detection is useful in scenarios where anomalies are not easily detectable at the individual level but become apparent when considering collective behavior. Applications include detecting coordinated attacks in cybersecurity ...

Record 11 2005-04-12

English

Subject field(s)
  • Magnetism and Electromagnetism
  • Special Water Transport
  • Physical Geography (General)
CONT

Submarines are vulnerable to detection through their underwater magnetic signature. As this influence is unrelated to acoustic signatures, magnetic detection is feasible even for acoustically-quiet submarines or in littoral waters. The MAD hardware and the associated geological noise-reduction algorithms and submarine-detection algorithms are used to localize submarines from aircraft. The MAD technology has significant links to the geophysical exploration industry.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Magnétisme et électromagnétisme
  • Transports par bateaux spéciaux
  • Géographie physique (Généralités)
CONT

Les sous-marins sont vulnérables à la détection en raison de leur signature magnétique sous-marine. Comme cette influence n'est pas reliée aux signatures acoustiques, la détection magnétique est possible même pour des sous-marins à acoustique atténuée ou dans les eaux littorales. Le matériel MAD et les algorithmes géologiques réducteurs de bruit et les algorithmes de détection des sous-marins connexes sont utilisés pour localiser les sous-marins à partir d'un aéronef. La technologie MAD est étroitement liée à l'industrie de la prospection géophysique.
