To protect tangible and intangible assets, most of the companies are conducting information protection monitoring by using various security equipment in the IT service network. As the security equipment that needs to be protected increases in the process of upgrading and expanding the service network, it is difficult to monitor the possible exposure to the attack for the entire service network. As a countermeasure to this, various studies have been conducted to detect external attacks and illegal communication of equipment, but studies on effective monitoring of the open service ports and construction of illegal communication monitoring system for large-scale service networks are insufficient. In this study, we propose a framework that can monitor information leakage and illegal communication attempts in a wide range of service networks without large-scale investment by analyzing 'Netflow statistical information' of backbone network equipment, which is the gateway to the entire data flow of the IT service network. By using machine learning algorithms to the Netfllow data, we could obtain the high classification accuracy of 94% in identifying whether the Telnet service port of operating equipment is open or not, and we could track the illegal communication of the damaged equipment by using the illegal communication history of the damaged equipment.
