Abstract
We present ANUBIS, a highly effective machine learning-based APT detection
system. Our design philosophy for ANUBIS involves two principal components.
Firstly, we intend ANUBIS to be effectively utilized by cyber-response teams.
Therefore, prediction explainability is one of the main focuses of ANUBIS
design. Secondly, ANUBIS uses system provenance graphs to capture causality and
thereby achieve high detection performance. At the core of the predictive
capability of ANUBIS, there is a Bayesian Neural Network that can tell how
confident it is in its predictions. We evaluate ANUBIS against a recent APT
dataset (DARPA OpTC) and show that ANUBIS can detect malicious activity akin to
APT campaigns with high accuracy. Moreover, ANUBIS learns about high-level
patterns that allow it to explain its predictions to threat analysts. The high
predictive performance with explainable attack story reconstruction makes
ANUBIS an effective tool to use for enterprise cyber defense.
