  • Publication number: 20160255037
    Abstract: Systems and methods for analyzing messages in a network or across networks are disclosed. In one aspect, embodiments of the present disclosure include a system for processing incoming messages from multiple web-based services. The system can include, a processing unit, a memory unit having stored thereon instructions which when executed by the processing unit causes the processing unit to perform a method which can, perform an action on an incoming message in accordance with a rule set to process the incoming messages. The rule set can be determined as a result of machine learning. in one embodiment, the action is performed by an independent service, the independent service being independent from the multiple web-based services.
