  • Patent number: 11475384
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides techniques for calculating an entity's cybersecurity risk based on identified relationships between the entity and one or more vendors. Customer/vendor relationships may impact the cybersecurity risk for each of the parties involved because a security compromise of a downstream or upstream provider can lead to a compromise of multiple other companies. For example, if organization A uses B (e.g., a cloud service provider) to store files, and B is compromised, this may lead to organization A being compromised (e.g., the files organization A stored using B may have been compromised by the breach of B's cybersecurity). Embodiments of the present disclosure further provide a technique for calculating a cybersecurity risk score for an organization based on identified customer/vendor relationships.

  • Patent number: 11341446
    Abstract: A method is provided for personalized behavioral-driven event management. The method includes determining, by a processor, derivative behaviors from user behavioral data for one or more users. The derivative behaviors include intent driven behavioral data and habitual behavioral data. The method further includes deriving, by the processor, one or more behavioral triggers that differentiate the intent driven behavioral data from the habitual behavioral data. The method also includes generating, by the processor, a risk prediction based on a predictive risk assessment model that uses the intent driven behavioral data differentiated from the habitual behavioral data by the one or more behavioral triggers to enhance a predictive power of the user behavioral data. The method additionally includes enabling, by the processor, risk intervention for at least one of the one or more users by directly targeting the behavioral triggers, responsive to the risk prediction.
