Abstract:
Security logs are widely used to monitor data, networks, and computer activities. By analyzing them, security experts can pick out anomalies that reveal the presence of cyber attacks or information leaks and stop them quickly before serious damage occurs. This paper presents a systematic literature review on the use of security logs for data leak detection. Our findings are fourfold: (i) we propose a new classification of information leaks, which uses the GDPR principles; (ii) we identify the twenty most widely used publicly available datasets in threat detection; (iii) we describe twenty types of attacks present in public datasets; and (iv) we describe thirty algorithms used for data leak detection. The selected papers point to many opportunities that can be investigated by researchers interested in contributing to this area of research.
