Patent number: 11973776Abstract: An enterprise-wise means for determining monitoring requirements for technology resources, such as, software, hardware, firmware, network or the like and implementing the monitoring. Artificial Intelligence (AI) is implemented to determine monitoring requirements based on characteristics of the technology resource that is to be monitored. In this regard, the characteristics of the technology resource serve to define the problem(s), such as cyber threats and/or performance issues that the technology resource currently faces or will face in the future. By determining the monitoring requirements based on the technology resource's characteristics, including the technological environment, the invention serves to describe what needs to be monitored in terms of the problems that the technology resource currently faces or will face.Type: GrantFiled: April 23, 2021Date of Patent: April 30, 2024Assignee: BANK OF AMERICA CORPORATIONInventors: John Howard Kling, Charles Edward Dudley

Publication number: 20230171260Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer program products are provided for monitoring network security in a mesh network. An example method includes receiving trust of service information relating to a user. The trust of service information includes one or more security details associated with at least one of a user device or a user network associated with the user. The method also includes determining a security level of a session involving the user based on the trust of service information relating to the user. The method further includes determining a security protocol for the session based on the determined security level. The security protocol determines at least one of a user access level or an additional security measure. The method still further includes causing an execution of the session based on the security protocol determined.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 1, 2021Publication date: June 1, 2023Applicant: BANK OF AMERICA CORPORATIONInventors: Brandon Sloane, Michael Ogrinz, Charles Edward Dudley

Publication number: 20220253544Abstract: Embodiments of the invention are directed to systems, methods, and computer program products for utilizing machine learning to identify data which is to be obfuscated in a format-preserving manner, which allows the obfuscated or masked data to appear as though it is original data. Because this type of obfuscation technique may require a higher degree of computational power than other techniques, there is a need to be able to dynamically choose when to implement format preservation based on a variety of factors. By using machine learning techniques, the present invention provides the functional benefit of analyzing both the data to be obfuscated, as well as available computational resources, to determine when it is appropriate to apply a format-preserving masking algorithm to the data. Accordingly, the present invention may ensure that organizational data is appropriately masked while preventing the resource strain associated with preserving the format of all original data.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 10, 2021Publication date: August 11, 2022Applicant: BANK OF AMERICA CORPORATIONInventors: Brandon Sloane, Charles Edward Dudley, Jinyoung Nathan Kim, Adriana Tache

Publication number: 20220253541Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide a system for performing obfuscation of electronic data through alteration of data formats. The system is configured for extracting data from one or more data sources associated with an entity, determining data format associated with the data extracted from the one or more data sources, calculating, via a central decisioning engine, an exposure score associated with the data based on one or more factors, determining, via the central decisioning engine, an obfuscation algorithm from one or more obfuscation algorithms for obfuscating the data based on the exposure score and the data format associated with the data, and obfuscating the data using the obfuscation algorithm.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 10, 2021Publication date: August 11, 2022Applicant: BANK OF AMERICA CORPORATIONInventors: Brandon Sloane, Charles Edward Dudley, Jinyoung Nathan Kim, Adriana Tache
