Patent number: 11689553Abstract: Log data associated with at least one user session in a network environment associated with an original user is received. A logical graph is generated using at least a portion of the received log data. One example of such a logical graph is a privilege change graph that models privilege changes between processes. Another example of such a logical graph is a user login graph that models machines with which the original user interacts. Another example of such a logical graph is a machine-server graph that clusters machines into nodes based on resources executing on the machine. The generated logical graph is used to detect an anomaly.Type: GrantFiled: March 9, 2021Date of Patent: June 27, 2023Assignee: Lacework Inc.Inventors: Harish Kumar Bharat Singh, Vikram Kapoor, Murat Bog, Yijou Chen

Patent number: 11637849Abstract: In some embodiments, a request to filter information associated with activities within a network environment is received in response to a user interaction with a graph that comprises a plurality of nodes. At least one node included in the graph is associated with an activity within a network environment. As one example, the request to filter is triggered by a user interaction with a visual representation of at least a portion of the graph. As another example, the request to filter is triggered by a user interaction with a query field. In response to receiving the filter request, a query is generated based on a join using a query service.Type: GrantFiled: October 25, 2021Date of Patent: April 25, 2023Assignee: Lacework Inc.Inventors: Yijou Chen, Sanjay Kalra, Vikram Kapoor
