  • Publication number: 20250028840
    Abstract: According to a present invention embodiment, software is analyzed for security vulnerabilities. Information from a security scan of code is analyzed to identify a security issue pertaining to a code portion. A machine learning model determines an initial risk factor score for the security issue based on a history of information pertaining to one or more prior security scans. The initial risk factor score is refined to produce an overall risk factor score for the security issue based on a confidence of the initial risk factor score. The initial risk factor score is refined based on one or more risk factor scores for operations within the code applied to a variable of the code portion. A classification of the security issue is determined as one of a valid security issue and a false positive based on the overall risk factor score.

  • Publication number: 20240403285
    Abstract: This disclosure provides methods and apparatuses for providing interpretability for multivariate time-series data anomaly detection. The multivariate time-series data anomaly detection is performed, through a multivariate time-series data anomaly detection model, for a multivariate time-series data formed by multiple time-series data. An anomaly detection result indicating at least an anomaly period is obtained from the model. An anomaly period correlation metric of the multiple time-series data in the anomaly period is determined. A trace-back period correlation metric of the multiple time-series data in a trace-back period before the anomaly period is determined. At least one time-series data pair having abnormal correlation in the anomaly period is identified from the multiple time-series data, based on a difference between the anomaly period correlation metric and the trace-back period correlation metric.
