  • Patent number: 11861200
    Abstract: Systems and methods for recording information at a granular level; checking and verifying that data is used and processed is consistent with an entity's internal policies and/or external regulations; and producing reports to authorized users (e.g., individuals and organizations) with information are provided. The system and methods capture required data in an immutable fashion so that users outside of an entity (e.g., public, third parties) can check and audit that internal policies and other regulatory policies and frameworks are followed.

  • Patent number: 11856023
    Abstract: Systems and techniques for detecting advertising fraudulent traffic, or invalid traffic, by correlating advertising traffic with cyber network defense events are described. For example, described techniques include querying cyber network traffic events, querying the metadata returned by the tag script placed in the displayed advertisement, and correlating times, internet protocol (IP) addresses, publisher domains, and referrer domains with domains and IP addresses flagged by network cyber security events.

  • Patent number: 11716350
    Abstract: Systems and methods for detecting anomalous and malicious URL's by analyzing markup language structure, such as HTML, are provided. The systems and methods include the querying of a URL to obtain the markup language data. The markup language data their corresponding elements and their locations rows/depths are parsed into coordinates within a 2-dimensional grid and then processed into features. A color is assigned to each feature as a function of the type of feature. The three dimensions (x, y coordinates and color coordinate) of the features are used to generate an image. The generated images are then compressed to facilitate processing. The compressed images of common websites are analyzed using deep machine learning algorithms to generate a model that represents their structure. These generated models are then used to detect suspicious and/or anomalous websites.

  • Patent number: 11716337
    Abstract: Systems and methods for detecting suspicious malware by analyzing data such as transfer protocol data or logs from a host within an enterprise is provided. The systems and methods include a database for storing current data and historical data obtained from the network and a detection module and an optional display. The embodiments herein extract information from non-encrypted transfer protocol metadata, determine a plurality of features, utilize an outlier detection model that is based on historical behaviors, calculate a suspiciousness score, and create alerts for analysis by users when the score exceeds a threshold. In doing so, the systems and methods of the present invention improve the ability to identify suspicious outliers or potential malware on an iterative basis over time.

  • Patent number: 11477223
    Abstract: Methods and systems for the detection, identification, analysis of cybersecurity events in order to support prevention of the persistence of threats, malware or other harmful events are provided. The methods and systems of the present invention enable a user to find similar anomalous network traffic within a single network or across multiple networks. The methods and systems identify and correlate activity in order to analyze potential threats within a network by providing broader contextual information about how those threats relate to other activity within the network or across a sector or country.

  • Patent number: 9910993
    Abstract: A cybersecurity system for managing cyber behavior associated with cyber actors such that the cyber behavior can be computed and predicted and cyber interactions between the cyber actors can be created. The system includes a cyber behavioral space management module configured to receive input data, and data from the interaction engine and the analytic workflow engine, and to generate a plurality of cyber behavioral spaces based on the received data. The system includes an interaction engine configured to process cyber actor data to facilitate interactions with the cyber behavioral space, a cyber scene, a cyber map, and another cyber actor. The system includes an analytic workflow engine configured to analyze the cyber behavioral spaces and update cyber data based on the analyzed data and the interaction engine data. The system includes a visualization engine configured to compute visualizations and transmit the visualizations for display.
