  • Patent number: 10855715
    Abstract: One variation of a method for predicting security risks of assets on a computer network includes: over a first period of time, detecting an asset connected to the computer network and a first set of behaviors exhibited by the asset; associating the asset with a first set of assets based on similarity of the first set of behaviors to behaviors characteristic of the first set of assets; over a second period of time succeeding the first period of time, detecting the asset connected to the computer network and a second set of behaviors exhibited by the asset; detecting deviation of the asset from the first set of assets based on differences between the second set of behaviors and behaviors characteristic of the first set of assets; and generating a security alert for the asset in response to deviation of the asset from the first set of assets.

  • Patent number: 10609053
    Abstract: Apparatuses, methods and storage medium associated with techniques to identify suspicious network connections. In embodiments, an apparatus may include an analysis function to be operated by the one or more processors to receive a collection of network data records, and apply a latent factor model to the network data records to identify a subset of the network data records as suspicious network connections. Other embodiments may be disclosed or claimed.

  • Patent number: 10162842
    Abstract: Apparatuses, methods and storage medium associated with processing data are disclosed herewith. In embodiments, an apparatus may include a data pre-processor to partition a collection of scalar data associated with unidirectional relationships of a plurality of two endpoint pairs into a plurality of workloads of directional data associated with the plurality of two endpoint pairs. In embodiment, the partition operation may include partition of the two endpoint pairs into a plurality of bins, where each bin includes a plurality of quantiles of the two endpoint pairs. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.

  • Patent number: 9591028
    Abstract: In one example, a visualization data engine may be responsible for rendering the visualization data obtained from the backend data server and providing the user interface (UI) necessary to allow an administrator to analyze the data. An example UI may include the ability to filter, organize, reorganize, and choose the raw data to be transformed. The UI may also provide interactions that expand and compress sections of the dataset, drill into the underlying dataset that is represented to the user, and move the data from one visualization to another.
