  • Cybersecurity risk score computation based on peer grouping
    Patent number: 10498755
    Abstract: A computing device computes a risk score for a user using a device based on a peer group identifier. Network activity measures characterize use of the device by the user. For each unique peer group identifier included in netflow records, a mean value is computed of each network activity measure. For each unique IP address and user identifier combination included in the netflow records, the mean value of each network activity measure is selected for a peer group identifier of the user; a risk score is computed by comparing each network activity measure for the unique IP address and user identifier combination to the selected mean value for the respective network activity measure; and when the risk score exceeds a predefined alert threshold, a high risk alert indicator is set indicating that the device is being used in an anomalous manner relative to other devices monitored by the computing device.
