Unix Systems Monitoring with FCA

Abstract

Abstract. There are many existing software tools for identifying specific and severe IT security threats (virus checkers, firewalls). But it is more difficult to detect less severe and more general problems, such as disclosure of sensitive or private data. In theory, security problems could be detected with existing tools, but the amount of information provided is often too overwhelming. FCA is a promising technology in this application area because it helps to reduce and explore data without prescribing what it is that is searched for from the start. This paper demonstrates the use of FCA for analysing Unix system data with respect to IT security monitoring.

A comprehensive survey on formal concept analysis, its research trends and applications

“…FCA has been used for handling relational structures in the source code and dependency between software parts in several aspects including RBAC (Priss, 2011;Priss et al, 2012;. Role based access control (RBAC) provides the role of a user in the IT systems with specific permissions like read or write.…”

“…Other domains discuss the mathematics behind FCA with a fuzzy setting, an interval-valued fuzzy setting, possibility theory, a rough setting, a triadic, factor and incomplete context to apply these extensions in the appropriate context for knowledge processing tasks.
