Abstract: A cyber-threat coordinator-component identifies devices and/or users that are in a breach state of a benchmark of parameters, utilized by AI models, that correspond to the normal pattern of life for the network. The cyber-threat coordinator-component sends an external communication to selected network devices in order to initiate actions with that network device in order to change a behavior of a detected threat of at least one a user and/or a device acting abnormal to the normal pattern of life on the network. The initiated actions are also targeted to minimize an impact on other network devices and users that are i) currently active in the network and ii) that are not in breach of being outside the normal behavior benchmark.

Abstract: Apparatus and methods for mitigating network attacks, such as by dynamically re-routing traffic. Various disclosed embodiments manipulate path-based routing of the backbone network to insert a scrubbing appliance within the backbone network topology, rather than using traditional network addressed tunnels in the edge network. In one implementation, traffic entering the backbone network ingress peer routers (from either another backbone network, or an edge network) is normally destination-address routed via the backbone to its appropriate egress router based on a path label; however, when a Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attack is detected, the ingress peer router inserts an additional hop into the path label that redirects dirty traffic to a substantially centralized scrubbing appliance. The benefits of the disclosed solutions include, among other things, significantly reduced attack response/recovery times without significant capital outlays.

Abstract: A managed server (MS) within an administrative domain is quarantined. The administrative domain includes multiple MSs that use management instructions to configure management modules so that the configured management modules implement an administrative domain-wide management policy that comprises a set of one or more rules. The quarantined MS is isolated from other MSs. A description of the MS is modified to indicate that the MS is quarantined, thereby specifying a description of the quarantined MS. Cached actor-sets are updated to indicate the quarantined MS's changed state, thereby specifying updated actor-sets. A determination is made regarding which updated actor-sets are relevant to an other MS, thereby specifying currently-relevant updated actor-sets. A determination is made regarding whether the currently-relevant updated actor-sets differ from actor-sets previously sent to the other MS.

Abstract: A new cybersecurity incident is registered at a security incident response platform. At a playbook generation system, details are received of the new cybersecurity incident from the security incident response platform. At least some of the details correspond to a set of features of the new cybersecurity incident. A set or subset of nearest neighbors of the new cybersecurity incident is localized in a feature space. The nearest neighbors of the new cybersecurity incident are other cybersecurity incidents having a distance from the new cybersecurity incident within the feature space that is defined by differences in features of the nearest neighbors with respect to the set of features of the new cybersecurity incident. A custom playbook is created for responding to the new cybersecurity incident.
