  • Patent number: 11836247
    Abstract: Systems and methods for detecting malicious behavior in a network by analyzing process interaction ratios (PIRs) are provided. According to one embodiment, information regarding historical process activity is maintained. The historical process activity includes information regarding various processes hosted by computing devices of a private network. Information regarding process activity within the private network is received for a current observation period. For each process, for each testing time period of a number of testing time periods within the current observation period, a PIR is determined based on (i) a number of unique computing devices that host the process and (ii) a number of unique users that have executed the process. A particular process is identified as potentially malicious when a measure of deviation of the PIR of the particular process from a historical PIR mean of the particular process exceeds a pre-defined or configurable threshold during a testing time period.

  • Patent number: 11805128
    Abstract: Disclosed is a method and authentication server for authentication of users requesting access to a restricted data resource from a communication device. Communication between the communication device and the authentication server passes via an access server, and the RADIUS protocol is used for the communication between the authentication server and the access server. After validating password and username entered by a user, the authentication server sends a request to the communication device to enter an authentication device ID. When receiving an entered authentication device ID, the authentication server performs authentication of the user based on a second authentication procedure using the received authentication device ID and when the second authentication procedure is successful, the user is granted access to the restricted data resource. The user can therefore decide which of a plurality of different authentication devices to use.
