  • Publication number: 20250023899
    Abstract: Computerized methods and systems evaluate threats in a cloud environment having a plurality of assets. For each pair of one or more pairs of the assets, one or more identified paths from a first asset of the pair to a second asset of the pair is obtained. A sequence of assets that includes the first and second assets defines each path of the one or more identified paths. For each path of the one or more identified paths, a likelihood that an attacker that is at the first asset will successfully reach the second asset via the path is determined. In certain embodiments, for each pair of the one or more pairs a risk score for the pair is determined based on the determined likelihoods for the one or more identified paths. The risk score is indicative of risk the attacker will reach the second asset from the first asset.

  • Publication number: 20240380766
    Abstract: Computerized methods and systems obtain threat data generated from activity data using unsupervised learning. The activity data is collected from enterprises and describes activities performed on the enterprises. The threat data indicates likelihood that sequences of activities performed on the enterprises are indicative of malicious intent. A supervised ML model that processes sequential data is trained by providing a training set of sequential data to the supervised ML model. The training set includes at least some of the obtained threat data, and data derived from activity data collected from at least some of the enterprises. The trained supervised ML receives new data that describes a sequence of activities performed on an enterprise, and processes the received new data to produce a prediction of whether the sequence of activities performed on the enterprise will lead to a malicious action on the enterprise. In some embodiments, multiple supervised ML models are used.

  • Publication number: 20240372876
    Abstract: Computerized methods and systems obtain a plurality of first data sets associated with a plurality enterprises. Each first data set is associated with a corresponding one of the enterprises and has data indicative of activity performed in association with the corresponding enterprise. The plurality of first data sets is processed using a first LLM to produce, from each first data set, a second data set that provides a summary of a sequence of events that occurred on the enterprise corresponding to first data set. At least some of the second data sets, which are associated with a proper subset of the enterprises, are processed using a second LLM to identify patterns. For an enterprise not in the proper subset, a current security posture of the enterprise is processed together with the identified patterns to produce a recommended security posture for the enterprise.

  • Publication number: 20240281672
    Abstract: A computerized-method for testing a classification ML model of a tenant of a service provider, in a cloud-based environment. The computerized-method includes: (i) receiving an object of a classification ML model for testing from the tenant; (ii) executing an API with the received object of the classification ML model; (iii) identifying one or more tenants of the service provider based on an activity type and preconfigured characteristics by the executed API; (iv) performing an evaluation of the object of the classification ML model by operating the API on each retrieved dataset of the one or more tenants of the service provider to evaluate the object of the classification ML model and store score-results; and (v) calculating an average of the stored score-results to yield a performance-score of the classification ML model. When the performance-score is above a predefined performance-score deploying the classification ML model in a system of the tenant.

  • Publication number: 20220012309
    Abstract: A method and system for building and implementing a meta-machine learning (meta-ML) optimization engine for a neural network (NN) or a machine learning (ML) connective model. A computer processor may iteratively simulate a backpropagation algorithm by executing a sequence of optimization steps. At each optimization step a position of a loss function may be determined that may be closer than a previously determined position of the loss function to a local minimum. A computer processor may compute and store after each iteration a detachment of the loss function, learning rate, and optimal learning rate. A computer processor may train a machine learning connective model to model the optimal learning rates of the simulated backpropagation algorithm. The meta-ML optimization engine may be implemented for a NN or ML connective model by generating a modified backpropagation algorithm in which algorithmic features of gradient descent may be replaced by the meta-ML optimization engine.
