Publication number: 20240146746Abstract: A technique for threat response associated with an endpoint detection and response (EDR) system. The system uses a combination of automated observable detection, threat intelligence enrichment, graph analysis, and supervised machine learning to machine-predict analyst behavior in classifying (as ‘true’ or ‘false’ positives) the EDR alerts, and to support either (i) automated suppression of those alerts that the system classifies with sufficient confidence as either true or false, or (ii) for those alerts than cannot be so classified, the providing of recommendations to analysts to facilitate their activities. Auto-detection of observables for graph-based feature detection, together with the automated disposition of alerts where possible greatly reduces overall analyst workload for the EDR system.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 31, 2022Publication date: May 2, 2024Applicant: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Aankur Bhatia, Abhishek Basu, Luiz Marcel Arbos, Terry Liggett, Kyle Proctor

Publication number: 20240143297Abstract: An embodiment searches source for callable units, and scans the contents of the callable units, and generates a set of unit groups that each include one or more of the callable units. The embodiment preprocesses the callable units and then generates hashes of each of the callable units. The embodiment generates a data structure comprising unit identifiers associated with the hashes and their corresponding callable units. The embodiment generates statistical data using a callable-unit metric and updates the data structure by prioritizing the callable units based on the statistical data. The embodiment compares hashes of the callable units and identifies first and second callable units as redundant callable units.
