Create an Outlier Block

Outlier accelerates and automates the process of identifying a potential threat. It would allow you to investigate and diagnose the specific entity responsible for the suspicious activity. You can automate the process by adding the identified incident as a signal. DNIF also uses a data-driven approach to identify patterns exhibited by the majority of the data and highlights data points that deviate from these patterns. An outlier is an observation which deviates so much from the other observations as to arouse suspicions that it was generated by a different mechanism.
