  • Patent number: 8793790
    Abstract: A system and method include obtaining data related to accessing cyber assets and accessing physical assets from a combined cyber access and physical access control system that protects cyber and physical assets of an organization from both authorized and unauthorized access with malicious intent. The system and method compare the data to known patterns of expected behavior, and identify patterns of suspicious behavior as a function of comparing the data to the patterns of expected behavior. The comparison is utilized to identify potentially malicious insider behavior toward the cyber and physical assets.

  • Patent number: 8775334
    Abstract: Campaign messages may be prioritized for a given potential recipient by generating one or more learning structures associated with the campaign message. The learning structure(s) is then evaluated relative to the potential recipient to determine potential effectiveness of the campaign messages for the potential recipient. One such learning structure is a decision tree comprising a hierarchy of attributes associated with past recipients of the campaign message. Attributes associated with the potential recipient are then applied to the decision tree to obtain a metric of potential value of the campaign message to the potential recipient.
