  • Patent number: 11349713
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method receives a program code and a signature associated with the program code from a database persistency associated with an enterprise threat detection (ETD) system. The received program code is associated with a configuration check, and the configuration check is developed at a development computing system and can collect information associated with a computing system. The received program code and the signature associated with the program code is distributed to a plurality of computing systems that are monitored by the ETD system. At least one configuration check result is received, and the configuration check result is generated by executing the program code on the computing system. The at least one configuration check result then transmitted to the database persistence, and the at least one result is displayed on a database graphical user interface (GUI) associated with the database persistency.

  • Patent number: 11128651
    Abstract: Search results are received from an initiated free text search of log data from one or more logs, where the free text is performed using search terms entered into a free text search graphical user interface. A set of at least one search result is selected from the search results containing an event desired to be identified in a completed enterprise threat detection (ETD) pattern. A forensic lab application is rendered to complete an ETD pattern. An event filter is added for an event type based on normalized log data to a path. A relative ETD pattern time range is set and an ETD pattern is completed based on the added event filter.

  • Patent number: 11012465
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method generates a trigger registration for a selected triggering type. The generated trigger registration is stored in a triggering persistency. A received event from an event persistency is analyzed and data associated with the analyzed event is compared with the triggering persistency. Based on the comparison and using a pattern execution framework, an enterprise threat detection (ETD) pattern is processed to perform actions responsive to the received event.

  • Patent number: 10681064
    Abstract: A filter is selected from one or more filters defined for an ETD Network Graph. Events are fetched from the selected log files based on the selected filter and entities identified based on the fetched Events. Relationships are determined between the identified entities, and the determined relationships and identified entities are displayed in the ETD Network Graph. An identified entity is selected to filter data in an ETD Event Series Chart. An Event is selected in the ETD Event Series Chart to display Event Attributes in an Event Attribute Dialog. An Event Attribute is selected in the Event Attribute Dialog to filter Events in the ETD Event Series Chart.

  • Patent number: 10673879
    Abstract: An enterprise threat detection (ETD) forensic workspace is established according to a particular timeframe and permitting defining a selection of data types from available log data for an evaluation of events associated with one or more entities. A chart is defined illustrating a graphical distribution of a particular data type in the forensic workspace. A snapshot associated with the chart is generated, the snapshot saving a copy of all data necessary to re-create the chart into an associated snapshot object. The snapshot is associated with a snapshot page for containing the snapshot and the snapshot page is saved within the ETD forensic workspace.

  • Patent number: 10542016
    Abstract: Subnet information and location information is received from a database by a smart data streaming engine (SDS). A particular subnet of the subnet information is associated with a particular location of the location information by a globally unique location ID value. Log event data received in the SDS is normalized as normalized log event data. The normalized log event data is enriched with subnet and location information as enriched log event data and written into a log event persistence in the database. A subnet ID value retrieved from an enriched log event of the enriched log event data is used by an enterprise threat detection (ETD) system to determine a location associated with the enriched log event using a location ID value associated with the subnet ID.

  • Patent number: 10482241
    Abstract: A path associated with a set of selected log data is defined. An indication is received on a graphical user interface (GUI) to generate a bubblegram associated with the path, wherein the bubblegram comprises one or more bubbles, each bubble representing a particular dimension associated with the selected path. The one or more bubbles are rendered on the GUI according to a performed ranking of the one or more bubbles. A bubble is selected to generate a filter for the path based on the dimension associated with the bubble. A subsequent bubblegram is rendered based on a narrowed set of the selected log data.
