Features

• Finds Anomalies in Dynamic/Time-Evolving Graphs
• Detects Microcluster Anomalies (suddenly arriving groups of suspiciously similar edges e.g. DoS attack)
• Theoretical Guarantees on False Positive Probability
• Constant Memory (independent of graph size)
• Constant Update Time (real-time anomaly detection to minimize harm)
• Up to 48% more accurate and 644 times faster than the state of the art approaches
