US Patent 9923911 Anomaly detection supporting new application deployments

In one embodiment, a device in a network maintains information regarding anomaly detection models used in the network and applications associated with traffic analyzed by the anomaly detection models. The device receives an indication of a planned application deployment in the network. The device adjusts an anomaly detection strategy of a particular anomaly detector in the network based on the planned application deployment and on the information regarding anomaly detection models used in the network and the applications associated with the traffic analyzed by the anomaly detection models.
