AECID

AECID stands for Automatic Event Correlation for Incident Detection and is an intelligent cyber security tool that uses special mathematical calculations to distinguish abnormalities from normal behavior in complex computer networks.


In contrast to conventional systems, the algorithm does not need specific knowledge about the IT systems to be monitored. Rather, a pure pattern recognition after appropriate observation and study time by a self-learning algorithm is conducted.

As a result, AIT´s AECID technology continuously adapts to new situations and does not require any elaborate specification of the technical system and no complex "configuration management" by the operator. By constantly gathering and analyzing new information, AECID independently and continuously enhances and refines its own knowledge base for new insights into the system in which it is used.
