  • Patent number: 11966472
    Abstract: A known-deployed file metadata repository (KDFMR) and analysis engine enumerates reference lists of files stored on a software delivery point (SDP) and compares the enumerated list of files and associated metadata to previously stored values in the KDFMR. If newly stored or modified files are identified, the analysis engine acquires the files from the SDP. Each file is analyzed to determine whether the file is an atomic file or a container file and metadata is generated or extracted. Each file stored in a container file is recursively extracted and analyzed, where metadata is generated for each extracted file and each container file. The KDFMR periodically analyzes the files stored on the SDP for differences to maintain the currency of the KDFMR data with respect to files stored on the SDP. Storage or modification of files on the SDP triggers analysis of the associated file. KDFMR data is updated with metadata determined based on sandbox detonation of files and/or identified artifacts of known-deployed files.

  • Publication number: 20240106857
    Abstract: Arrangements for providing typosquatting detection and notification functions are provided. In some aspects, user input data may be received. The user input may include a website or website address received via a web browser address bar displayed on a user computing device. The user input may be analyzed, using a machine learning model, to determine a likelihood of typosquatting. The determined likelihood may be compared to a threshold and, if the likelihood is below the threshold, the user may proceed with the request to access the website. If the likelihood meets or exceeds the threshold, a notification or user interface may be generated requesting user input confirming that the user input reflects a correct or desired website. User response data may be received and used to update and/or validate the machine learning model.

  • Publication number: 20240015176
    Abstract: The email security computing platform analyzes pattern associated with criminal and/or malicious activities directed towards an enterprise computing system. Domain age is determined for one or more domains associated with inbound and outbound emails. When certain conditions are met or patterns are recognized, additional activities are triggered to predict a likelihood that malicious activity may occur. The email security computing platform may predict a likelihood (e.g., a weighting factor, percentage, and the like) of the possibility that an email or message chain is linked to a certain type of malicious activity. If these predictions meet certain threshold conditions, an alert or other notification may be generated and sent to an appropriate computer system to trigger one or more security procedures.
