TL;DR

This work introduces persistent node evidence as an investigation-oriented representation boundary for provenance streams, and supports persistent node evidence as a bounded bridge from event prediction to precision-oriented offline investigation.

Two-Stage APT Detection with Event-Level Evidence Recovery over Heterogeneous Provenance Graphs

: Advanced Persistent Threats (APTs) are low-frequency, stealthy, and multi-stage attacks whose activities are embedded in massive volumes of benign host audit events, making both accurate detection and post-alert investigation challenging. Provenance graphs provide unified representations of interactions among process...

CSCProv: causal-semantic consistent provenance graph compression for attack detection

Results show that CSCProv achieves up to 30× provenance graph reduction while preserving attack-critical dependencies, and improves the efficiency of downstream attack detection, reducing detection time by 32.7–48.3% across different datasets and detection frameworks.

Not All Relations Are Equal: Relation-Balanced and Calibrated Graph Learning for Provenance-Based Intrusion Detection

RECAL is presented, an unsupervised framework using relation-balanced masked graph learning to better capture rare interaction patterns and calibrates reconstruction errors against each relation's benign error distribution to produce comparable anomaly evidence, helping distinguish attacks from benign behavior and redu...

PACMI: Provenance-Aware Cascading Memory Invalidation for Long-Term LLM Agents

LLM agents rely on long-term memory to retain and reuse information when performing tasks over long horizons. Existing methods provide limited support for handling memories that become outdated as new observations or domain evidence arrive. Such outdated memories may remain semantically relevant, continue to affect dep...

Where the Numbers Come From: Auditing Evaluation in Provenance-Based Intrusion Detection

Reproducing a provenance-based intrusion detector's score does not establish what that score says about its emitted alarms or the information its encoder uses. We audit nine released implementations, execute four detectors using their own code, and isolate three measurement effects. First, a fixed-alert comparison sepa...
