Abstract

An anomaly detection device includes a memory, and processing circuitry coupled to the memory and configured to acquire communication feature values of communication devices, calculate, for each transmission source MAC address included in the communication feature values acquired, a total value of the number of transmitted and received packets or a total value of the number of bytes, for each layer-2 switch connected to a corresponding communication device, and determine, for each transmission source MAC address, that a communication device corresponding to the transmission source MAC address is connected to a layer-2 switch whose total value of the number of transmitted and received packets or total value of the number of bytes calculated is the largest.

Claims (22)

1. An anomaly detection device comprising:

a memory; and

processing circuitry coupled to the memory and configured to:

acquire communication feature values of communication devices,

calculate, for each transmission source MAC address included in the communication feature values acquired, a total value of a number of transmitted and received packets or a total value of a number of bytes, for each layer-2 switch connected to a corresponding communication device, and

determine, for each transmission source MAC address, that a communication device corresponding to the transmission source MAC address is connected to a layer-2 switch whose total value of the number of transmitted and received packets or total value of the number of bytes calculated is the largest.

2. The anomaly detection device according to claim 1 , wherein the processing circuitry is further configured to:

if there is a transmission source MAC address that is not included in the communication feature values acquired but is included in configuration information that includes information regarding a connection state of the communication devices, count a non-communicating time for this transmission source MAC address, and

if the non-communicating time counted has reached a predetermined time, determine that the communication device has stopped communication.

3. The anomaly detection device according to claim 2 , wherein the processing circuitry is further configured to, if a communication device is newly connected to a layer-2 switch that has been connected to a communication device for which it is determined that communication has not been performed, before the non-communicating time counted reaches the predetermined time, and a number of communication devices for which it is determined that communication has not been performed matches a number of newly-connected communication devices, determine that a communication device has been replaced.

4. The anomaly detection device according to claim 1 , wherein the processing circuitry is further configured to update configuration information that includes information regarding a connection state of the communication devices, in accordance with a determination result.

5. The anomaly detection device according to claim 1 , wherein the processing circuitry is further configured to:

detect an anomaly in the communication devices, based on communication feature values obtained while the communication devices are normally operating, and

if an anomaly in a communication device, of the communication devices, is detected, display a network corresponding to a layer-2 switch to which the communication device is connected as a network to which the communication device in which the anomaly has been detected belongs.

6. An anomaly detection method comprising:

acquiring communication feature values of communication devices;

calculating, for each transmission source MAC address included in the communication feature values acquired, a total value of a number of transmitted and received packets or a total value of a number of bytes, for each layer-2 switch connected to a corresponding communication device; and

determining, for each transmission source MAC address, that a communication device corresponding to the transmission source MAC address is connected to a layer-2 switch whose total value of the number of transmitted and received packets or total value of the number of bytes calculated is the largest, by processing circuitry.

7. A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium storing therein an anomaly detection program that causes a computer to execute a process comprising:

acquiring communication feature values of communication devices;

calculating, for each transmission source MAC address included in the communication feature values acquired, a total value of a number of transmitted and received packets or a total value of a number of bytes, for each layer-2 switch connected to a corresponding communication device; and

determining, for each transmission source MAC address, that a communication device corresponding to the transmission source MAC address is connected to a layer-2 switch whose total value of the number of transmitted and received packets or total value of the number of bytes calculated is the largest.
