Abstract: A system and method for the detection and mitigation of data source compromises in an adversarial information environment. The system and method feature the ability to scan for, ingest and process, and then use relational, wide column, and graph stores for capturing entity data, their relationships, and actions associated with them. Furthermore, meta-data is gathered and linked to the ingested data, which provides a broader contextual view of the environment leading up to and during an event of interest. Data quality analysis is conducted on the data as it is ingested in order to identify various data source metrics and determine if a data source may be compromised. The results of the data quality analysis, the identified metrics, the gathered data, and meta-data are used to manage the reputation of the contributing data sources. The system can make recommendations on data sources based on the data source reputation scoring.

Abstract: A system and method for cybersecurity reconnaissance, analysis, and scoring that uses distributed, cloud-based computing services to provide sufficient scalability for analysis of enterprise IT networks using only publicly available characterizations. The system and method comprise an in-memory associative array which manages a queue of vulnerability search tasks through a public-facing proxy network. The public-facing proxy network has search nodes configurable to present the network to search tools in a desired manner to control certain aspects of the search to obtain the desired results. A distributed data processing engine and cloud-based storage are used to provide scalable computing power and storage. A data packet modifier is used to reveal the IP address of a threat actor behind a port scan and subsequently block the threat actor. Each of the cloud-based computing services is containerized and orchestrated for management and efficient scaling purposes.

Abstract: A system and methods for mitigating Kerberos ticket attacks within a domain is provided, comprising an authentication object inspector configured to observe a new authentication object generated by an identity provider, and retrieve the new authentication object; and a hashing engine configured to retrieve the new authentication object from the authentication object inspector, calculate a cryptographic hash for the new authentication object, and store the cryptographic hash for the new authentication object in a data store; wherein subsequent access requests accompanied by authentication objects are validated by comparing hashes for each authentication object to previous generated hashes.

Abstract: A system for improving a distributable model with distributed data is provided, comprising a network-connected distributable model source configured to serve instances of a distributable model; and a directed computation graph module configured to receive at least an instance of the distributable model from the network-connected computing system, create a cleansed dataset from data stored in the memory with at least biases within the data stored in memory corrected, train the instance of the distributable model with the cleansed dataset, and generate an update report based at least in part by updates to the instance of the distributable model.

Abstract: A system and method for cybersecurity analysis utilizing high-performance, scalable, multi-tenant, dynamically specifiable, knowledge graph information storage and utilization. The system uses an in-memory associative array for high-performance graph storage and access, with a non-volatile distributed database for scalable backup storage, a scalable, distributed graph service for graph creation, an indexing search engine to increase searching performance, and a graph crawler for graph traversal. One or more of these components may be in the form of a cloud-based service, and in some embodiments the cloud-based services may be containerized to allow for multi-tenant co-existence with no possibility of data leakage or cross-over. The system uses a cyber-physical graph to represent an enterprise's cyber-physical system and can provide graph analysis, graph security, and graph fusion related tasks to identify potential cybersecurity threats.

Abstract: A system and method for a highly scalable distributed connection interface for data capture from multiple network service sources. The connection interface is designed to enable simple to initiate, performant and highly available input/output from a large plurality of external networked service's and application's application programming interfaces (API) to the modules of an integrated predictive business operating system. To handle the high volume of information exchange, the connection interface is distributed and designed to be scalable and self-load-balancing. The connection interface possesses robust expressive scripting capabilities that allow highly specific handling rules to be generated for the routing, transformation, and output of data within the business operating system.

Abstract: A system and methods for detecting and mitigating golden SAML attacks against federated services is provided, comprising an authentication object inspector configured to observe a new authentication object generated by an identity provider, and retrieve the new authentication object; and a hashing engine configured to create a security cookie for each valid authentication session; wherein subsequent access requests accompanied by authentication objects are validated by checking for a valid security cookie.

Abstract: A system for detecting and mitigating attacks using forged authentication objects within a domain is provided, comprising an authentication object inspector configured to observe a new authentication object generated by an identity provider, and retrieve the new authentication object; and a hashing engine configured to retrieve the new authentication object from the authentication object inspector, calculate a cryptographic hash for the new authentication object, and store the cryptographic hash for the new authentication object in a data store; wherein subsequent access requests accompanied by authentication objects are validated by comparing hashes for each authentication object to previous generated hashes.
