  • System and method for assessing whether a communication contains an attack
    Patent number: 8931095
    Abstract: Communications can be processed with multiple countermeasures to identify attacks. Each countermeasure can compute a probability of a communication containing an attack and an accompanying confidence score indicating confidence in the probability. Combining the probabilities can produce a composite probability and associated confidence of the communication containing an attack. The composite probability and confidence scores can be produced from a weighted combination of the individual countermeasure probabilities and confidence scores. Weighting factors can be generated or obtained from a database that stores profiles of confirmed attacks.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: October 4, 2013
    Date of Patent: January 6, 2015
    Assignee: Dell Products, LP
    Inventors: Jon R. Ramsey, Jyotish S. Varma, Ashley Thomas, Kevin J. Schmidt, Joseph Neal Stewart, Rudy Alexander Ristich, Joan Pepin
