  • Patent number: 12537833
    Abstract: A system and method are disclosed for determining that a first electronic communication, received in a first private repository of a user, has been identified (e.g., flagged) as including a threat, and determining a probability that the first electronic communication includes the threat. In response to determining that the probability exceeds a threshold probability, the system monitors monitoring for a second electronic communication, received in a second private repository, that includes contents that match the contents of the first electronic communication.

  • Patent number: 12400032
    Abstract: A tool is disclosed for searching information redacted from electronic communications. The tool receives, based on input by a user into an interface of an electronic communication repository, a request to search through vaulted information, the vaulted information redacted from the electronic communication repository. The tool transmits an identity verification challenge to a device of the user and determines whether the identity verification challenge is successful. Responsive to determining that the identity verification challenge is successful, the tool searches the vaulted information for one or more files comprising a symbol input by the user, and generates, for display within the interface, identifiers corresponding to each of the one or more files.

  • Patent number: 12278844
    Abstract: An example method comprises receiving, by a secure content system, an email from a sender to a recipient, scanning the contents of the email, evaluating the contents of the email based on a plurality of security rules, storing the sensitive data within a secure storage, generating a replacement email including a security link and not including at least the sensitive data, the security link providing a requester access to the sensitive data providing that a security function is satisfied, sending the replacement email including the security link to the recipient, receiving a request to access the sensitive data, the request being related to the security function challenging the requester using the security function, receiving, from the requester, a response to the security function, determining if the security function is satisfied by the response, and if the security function is satisfied, providing access to the sensitive data to the requester.

  • Patent number: 12250229
    Abstract: A system and a method are disclosed for verifying a suspicious electronic communication. To this end, a secure communications service may detect an electronic communication comprising an identifier of a purported originator of the electronic communication and an identifier of an intended recipient, and determine that an attribute of the electronic communication corresponds to a suspicious attribute. Responsively, the service may intercept the electronic communication and storing the electronic communication in purgatory memory, so as to prevent the electronic communication from being populated in a private repository of the intended recipient, transmit a verification message, and receive a reply to the verification message that verifies the authenticity of the electronic communication.
