  • Patent number: 9537884
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for assessing cyber threats. In some implementations, data indicating a time window is received. Data indicating at least one dynamic Bayesian network (DBN) is accessed. A plurality of simulations are performed using the DBN, and outcomes of the plurality of simulations are sampled according to the state of the DBN representing the end of the time window. Based on the sampled outcomes of the simulations, a measure of impact of the computer-based threats to the organization over the time window is determined. The determined measure is provided for output to a user.

  • Patent number: 9525702
    Abstract: Methods, system, and media for determining similar malware samples are disclosed. Two or more malware samples are received and analyzed to extract information from the two or more malware samples. The extracted information is converted to a plurality of sets of strings. A similarity between the two or more malware samples is determined based on the plurality of the sets of strings.

  • Publication number: 20160269423
    Abstract: Methods, system, and media for analyzing a potential malware sample are disclosed. A sample for malware analysis may be received. The sample may be received through a web interface. The sample may be analyzed using a plurality of analyzers implemented on one or more computing devices. The analyzers may perform a sequence of configurable analytic steps to extract information about the sample. The extracted information may be displayed to a user through the web interface.

  • Publication number: 20160173516
    Abstract: Methods, system, and media for detecting malware are disclosed. A network may be monitored for a configured time interval collecting all of or some of the network traffic or samples of the network traffic. Feature vectors may be extracted from the network traffic resulting in feature vectors. One or more machine learning models may be applied to the feature vectors producing a score. The score may indicate the presence of malware or the presence of a particular type of malware. One or more scores obtained by applying learning models may be fused by another machine learning model into a resulting score. A threshold value may be calculated to accompany a score indicating the likelihood that the traffic sample indicates the presence of malware and the likely effectiveness of planned remediation effort. An alert may be generated from the score and the threshold when the threshold is exceeded.

  • Patent number: 9288220
    Abstract: Methods, system, and media for detecting malware are disclosed. A network may be monitored to collect samples of the network traffic. Feature vectors may be extracted from the sampled network traffic. One or more machine learning models may be applied to the feature vectors to produce a score indicative of the presence of a particular type of malware. One or more scores obtained by applying the machine learning models may be fused by another machine learning model into a resulting score. A threshold value may be calculated to accompany a score indicating the likelihood that the traffic sample indicates the presence of malware and the likely effectiveness of planned remediation effort. An alert may be generated from the score and the threshold when the threshold is acceded.
