  • Patent number: 11863573
    Abstract: Techniques are disclosed relate to systems, methods, and non-transitory computer readable media for improved cybersecurity intelligence using custom trigger events. One system may include a non-transitory memory configured to store at least threat model data; and one or more hardware processors coupled to the non-transitory memory and configured to read instructions from the non-transitory memory to cause the system to perform operations comprising: receiving, over a communications network, the at least one custom trigger event for a threat model which identifies a cybersecurity threat; determining whether the cybersecurity threat triggers the performance of the orchestrated response based on the custom trigger event; and launching, when the cybersecurity threat triggers the performance of the orchestrated response, a first application and a second application of the plurality of applications of the orchestrated response.

  • Patent number: 11245713
    Abstract: Techniques are disclosed which can provide an orchestrated response to a cybersecurity threat. This orchestrated response may be based upon, at least in part, a reputation score. Threat model(s) may be received that identify cybersecurity threat(s). An indication of observations, false positives, and/or page views for the threat may be obtained. Data feeds may be received including known good data feeds, known bad data feeds, and enrichment data feeds. The data feeds may provide information about one or more indicators of compromise (IOC). For each IOC, a weighted criticality score may be determined. The weighted criticality score may be mapped to a corresponding point value. An aggregated score may be determined based upon at least the corresponding point value. A reputation score may be computed, and in some configurations, provided to a user.

  • Patent number: 10044736
    Abstract: In some embodiments, an apparatus includes a memory and a processor operatively coupled to the memory. The processor is configured to receive a set of domain name resolutions associated with a domain. Each domain name resolution from the set of domain name resolutions includes a mapping between a domain name and an Internet Protocol (IP) address. The processor is then configured to determine, based on the set of domain name resolutions, a set of resolution metrics associated with a first geolocation and a set of resolution metrics associated with a second geolocation. The processor is also configured to compare and identify a role of an adversary infrastructure at the first geolocation and a role of an adversary infrastructure at the second geolocation, and subsequently send a signal such that a remedy response associated with at least one of the set of IP addresses or the domain name is initiated.
