  • Patent number: 11902305
    Abstract: Method and systems for detecting and mitigating a malicious bot. Threat information is obtained, the threat information identifying one or more indicators of compromise (IOC) corresponding to suspected or known malicious network traffic. A control list (CL) corresponding to the threat information is generated, the CL describing rules for identifying network flows to be logged in a network log. The network log identifying the network flows is obtained and a suspect network flow identified by both the threat information and the network log is identified. An address corresponding to the suspect network flow is identified and the address is correlated with a user identifier. A notification is issued to a user associated with the user identifier, the notification indicating a suspected existence of a malicious bot.

  • Patent number: 11363063
    Abstract: A method and system for detecting and mitigating a malicious bot is disclosed. Address information is obtained from a third-party threat intelligence provider, the address information corresponding to network traffic that has been identified as malicious network traffic. Network traffic originating on a networked device is inspected in search of packets that correspond to the obtained address information. A check is performed to determine if a given one of the searched packets corresponds to an address associated with the address information and, responsive to the check indicating that the given one of the searched packets corresponds to the address associated with the address information, a managed router service is configured to mitigate the malicious network traffic.
