  • Patent number: 11418524
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides systems and methods for detection of one or more security threats or malicious actions. According to the present disclosure, data can be received from one or more data producers and provided to a behavior processor. The behavior processor extracts, identifies, or detects one or more behaviors from the data based on one or more datum, features, or characteristics included therein, and provides the one or more identified behaviors to a tactic processor. The tactic processor extracts, identifies, or detects one or more tactics based on the one or more identified behaviors, and submits the one or more identified tactics to a tactic classifier to determine whether the one or more identified tactics are indicative of the one or more security threats or malicious actions. Other aspects are also described.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 11218500
    Abstract: A method and system for parsing and identifying security log message data, which can include receiving system generated unstructured or partially semi-structured security log data from a plurality of source systems and devices, including a variety of different source systems and/or devices. The message data is received from the various sources in the form of raw log message data, as a stream of bytes received by a parsing system that identifies and extracts character features of the incoming raw messages. The extracted character features are compiled into data structures that are evaluated by a model(s) to determine segmentation boundaries thereof and generate message tokens, which are further classified as including variable data field(s) or as a template text string. Template categorized message tokens are used to provide message fingerprint information for characterizing the overall form of the message, and for comparison to a collection of previously stored/evaluated message fingerprints by a classifier.
