  • Patent number: 11783053
    Abstract: A system, method, and computer-readable medium are disclosed for performing an entity behavior cataloging operation. The entity behavior cataloging operation includes: identifying a security related activity, the security related activity being based upon an observable from an electronic data source; analyzing the security related activity, the analyzing identifying an event of analytic utility associated with the security related activity; generating entity behavior catalog data based upon the event of analytic utility associated with the security related activity; and, storing the entity behavior catalog data within an entity behavior catalog, the entity behavior catalog providing an inventory of entity behaviors for use when performing a security operation.

  • Publication number: 20210264054
    Abstract: A system, method, and computer-readable medium are disclosed for providing auditability of a distributed ledger technology (DLT) of de-identified data of entities, stored in the DLT. In certain embodiments, data related to an entity is de-identified. The de-identified data is stored in the DLT. Access to the de-identified data is determined. Instances of access to the de-identified data is recorded to the DLT. In certain embodiments, information used to re-identify the de-identified data is store on the DLT. Access to the information can also be determined and recorded to the DLT.
