  • Publication number: 20240146758
    Abstract: A method, apparatus, and computer program are disclosed. The method may be performed by one or more processors and may comprise receiving first data representing an infrastructure of a computer network, the first data comprising an indication of hosts which form at least part of the computer network and one or more software resources on respective hosts. The method may also comprise receiving second data from a vulnerability scanning software, the second data comprising an indication of one or more vulnerabilities detected in the one or more software resources provided on at least some of the hosts of the computer network. Using a combination of the first data and the second data, output data may be generated representing a risk profile of the computer network infrastructure, the output data indicating one or more subsets of hosts, determined as being at risk of being affected by the detected vulnerabilities by virtue of the software resources they provide for output on a user interface.

  • Patent number: 11770390
    Abstract: A computer system is configured to generate alerts related to malicious activity on an audited computing system. The computing system is provided with instructions to receive activity information associated with activity of an entity performed in an audited computing network, access contextual information associated with the entity, determine, based on the contextual information, a set of weights associated with the activity information and combine the weight and the entity activity information to generate a risk score. In response to the risk score satisfying a threshold value, the computer system may generate an alert, and, in response to receiving a user input associated with the alert, update the set of weights. In certain embodiments, the updated weights may be used for determining the risk score of future alerts.

  • Patent number: 10691756
    Abstract: Computer-implemented systems and methods are disclosed for automatically aggregating, analyzing, and presenting probabilities associated with data items. Data items may be associated with probabilities or risks, and the data items may have various characteristics. A grouping of data items may be determined based on these characteristics, and probabilities within groups of data items may be aggregated and analyzed. Aggregated probabilities may be used to determine incremental probabilities for individual data items, to assess cumulative risk associated with a group of data items, and to analyze probabilities associated with a particular data item group. User interfaces may be generated to facilitate selection and grouping of data items, selection of risk models, and analysis of aggregate probabilities.
