Abstract
Recently, coordinated attack campaigns started to become more widespread on
the Internet. In May 2017, WannaCry infected more than 300,000 machines in 150
countries in a few days and had a large impact on critical infrastructure.
Existing threat sharing platforms cannot easily adapt to emerging attack
patterns. At the same time, enterprises started to adopt machine learning-based
threat detection tools in their local networks. In this paper, we pose the
question: \emph{What information can defenders share across multiple networks
to help machine learning-based threat detection adapt to new coordinated
attacks?} We propose three information sharing methods across two networks, and
show how the shared information can be used in a machine-learning
network-traffic model to significantly improve its ability of detecting evasive
self-propagating malware.
