  • Patent number: 11425106
    Abstract: A system for processing a data package, comprising an input module for receiving a data package over a data network. The data package comprising a header and payload data and storage for storing at least one criterion. The system comprises a buffer for temporarily storing at least a part of the data package; and a decision-making module for determining a risk score based on the at least one criterion and the at least a part of the data package and being indicative of a handling action to apply to the data package. The system comprises an updating module for recalculating the at least one criterion in the storage; and a processing module for determining a handling action for the data package, wherein the handling action is based on the risk score. The recalculation is performed asynchronously with regard to the determination of the risk score.

  • Patent number: 11425105
    Abstract: A method for processing a data package to be sent to an addressed recipient. The method comprises obtaining payload data to be sent over a data network as a data package. The data package comprises the payload data and a header. The method also comprises analysing the header of the data package based on a plurality of characteristics, the header comprising at least an addressed recipient, and the characteristics comprising at least a recipient identifier and a transmission time. A risk indicator is generated, which indicates a risk associated with the analysis of the addressed recipient of the data package. The data package is processed to determine a handling action for the data package. The handling action is based on the risk indicator and is applied the handling action to the data package to generate a processed data package. The processed data package is then transmitted to the addressed recipient.
