  • Patent number: 11777978
    Abstract: Systems and methods for assessing an application access risk are provided. An example method commences with collecting data concerning relationships between an application, one or more client devices, and one or more users in a computing environment. The method includes updating a graph database including nodes and edges. The nodes represent the application, the one or more client devices, and the one or more users and the edges represent relationships between the application, the one or more client devices, and the one or more users. The method continues with enriching the graph database by associating the nodes with metadata including information concerning the one or more users accessing the application from the one or more client devices. The method further includes analyzing the graph database to identify a subset of nodes used to access the application and displaying a graphical representation of the subset of nodes.

  • Publication number: 20220245256
    Abstract: Systems and methods for attributing user behavior from multiple technical telemetry sources are provided. An example method includes determining that the user has logged into the computing device, in response of the determination, collecting log data from a plurality of telemetry sources associated with the computing device, extracting, from the log data, activity data concerning activities of the computing device, analyzing the activity data to determine that the activity data are attributed to the user, generating, based on the activity data, behavior attributes of the user, associating the behavior attributes with a unique identifier of the computing device, and estimating security integrity of the computing device based on a comparison of the behavior attributes to reference behavior attributes. The reference behavior attributes include further behavior attributes determined using log data of at least one further computing device associated with the user.
