  • Patent number: 11487873
    Abstract: A method includes monitoring user behavior in an enterprise system, identifying a given user of the enterprise system associated with a given portion of the monitored user behavior, determining a predicted impact of compromise of the given user on the enterprise system, generating a risk score for the given user based on the predicted impact of compromise and the given portion of the monitored user behavior, and identifying one or more remedial actions to reduce the risk score for the given user. The method also includes implementing, prior to detecting compromise of the given user, at least one of the remedial actions to modify a configuration of at least one asset in the enterprise system, the at least one asset comprising at least one of a physical computing resource and a virtual computing resource in the enterprise system.

  • Patent number: 11025658
    Abstract: A method includes obtaining messages associated with assets in an enterprise system, splitting each of the messages into a set of tokens, determining a count of a number of occurrences of each of the tokens, and assigning weights to the tokens based at least in part on the counts of the number of occurrences of the tokens. The method also includes determining a score for each of the messages based at least in part on a combined sum of the weights for the set of tokens of that message, generating a summary of the messages by selecting a subset of the messages for based at least in part on the scores. The method further includes identifying remedial actions to be applied to assets in the enterprise system based at least in part on the summary of the messages, and implementing at least one of the identified remedial actions.
