Patent number: 11783216Abstract: A relational event history is determined based on a data set, the relational event history including a set of relational events that occurred in time among a set of actors. Data is populated in a probability model based on the relational event history, where the probability model is formulated as a series of conditional probabilities that correspond to a set of sequential decisions by an actor for each relational event, where the probability model includes one or more statistical parameters and corresponding statistics. A baseline communications behavior for the relational event history is determined based on the populated probability model, and departures within the relational event history from the baseline communications behavior are determined.Type: GrantFiled: November 6, 2020Date of Patent: October 10, 2023Assignee: Forcepoint LLCInventors: Josh Lospinoso, Guy Louis Filippelli, Christopher Poirel, James Michael Detwiler

Patent number: 11630901Abstract: A mechanism is provided for using triggered stimuli to enhance contextual information regarding detected risk events in a networked system. Embodiments monitor a system to identify risk-associated behavior, and upon detecting such behavior, can provide stimulus to a user associated with the risk-associated behavior to determine additional context behind the behavior, thereby initiating a two-way communication to acquire more information. If user response to the stimulus indicates a high risk associated with the behavior, then the system can trigger security measures to restrict the behavior. Some embodiments provide stimuli that are directly related to the nature of the risk-associated behavior, in order to better contextualize the behavior. In some embodiments, the stimuli are only applied if the risk-associated behavior presents a measure of risk above a predetermined threshold.Type: GrantFiled: February 3, 2020Date of Patent: April 18, 2023Assignee: Forcepoint LLCInventor: Sri Koganti
