  • System and method for detecting potential threats by monitoring user and system behavior associated with computer and network activity
    Patent number: 9117076
    Abstract: A system and method is provided to monitor user and system behavior associated with computer and network activity to determine deviations from normal behavior that represent a potential cyber threat or cyber malicious activity. The system and method uses a multi-factor behavioral and activity analysis approach to determine when a trusted insider might be exhibiting threatening behavior or when a user's computer or network credentials have been compromised and are in use by a third-party. As a result, changes in insider behavior that could be indicative of malicious intent can be detected, or an external entity masquerading as a legitimate user can be detected.
