Abstract: Systems, methods, and apparatuses are provided for clustering incidents in a computing environment. An incident notification relating to an event (e.g., a potential cyberthreat or any other alert) in the computing environment is received and a set of features may be generated based on the incident notification. The set of features may be provided as an input to a machine-learning engine to identify a similar incident notification in the computing environment. The similar incident notification may include a resolved incident notification or an unresolved incident notification. An action to resolve the incident notification may be received, and the received action may thereby be executed. In some implementations, in addition to resolving the received incident notification, the action may be executed to resolve a similar unresolved incident notification identified by the machine-learning engine.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and media are shown for generating access control rules for computer resources involving collecting historical access data for user accesses to a computer resource and separating the historical access data into a training data set and a validation data set. An access control rule is generated for the computer resource based on the properties of the user accesses to the computer resource in the training data set. The rule is validated against the validation data set to determine whether the rule produces a denial rate level is below a threshold when the rule is applied to the validation data set. If the rule is valid, then it is provided to an administrative interface so that an administrator can select the rule for application to incoming user requests.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer program products are described herein for detecting malicious cloud-based resource allocations. Such detection may be achieved using machine learning-based techniques that analyze sequences of cloud-based resource allocations to determine whether such sequences are performed with a malicious intent. For instance, a sequence classification model may be generated by training a machine learning-based algorithm on both resource allocation sequences that are known to be used for malicious purposes and resource allocation sequences that are known to be used for non-malicious or benign purposes. Using these sequences, the machine learning-based algorithm learns what constitutes a malicious resource allocation sequence and generates the sequence classification model.

Abstract: “Sensitive” URIs for a website can be determined. Access attempts to a sensitive URI can be extracted from server logs. As used herein, sensitive URIs are URIs which if breached are likely to result in harm to the website owner. Access to sensitive URIs can be restricted to trusted accessors. Trusted accessors can be determined by filtering out untrusted accessors using thresholds and/or machine learning techniques. After filtering out untrusted accessors, any remaining accessors can be identified as trusted accessors. Trusted accessors can be added to a whitelist. Access requests to access-restricted URIs by an accessor not in the whitelist can be denied and an alert can be generated. Access requests to access-restricted URIs by an accessor in the whitelist can be granted.

Abstract: A method includes obtaining a dictionary, data for a set of web requests, and definitions of a first set of clusters associated with vulnerability scanners. The method includes identifying a set of clients that transmitted the second set of web requests. The method includes generating a second set of feature vectors, which each corresponds to one of the clients. Each element in each feature vector corresponds respectively to an entry in the dictionary. The method includes clustering the second set of feature vectors into a second set of clusters. The method includes, in response to a first distance between a selected cluster of the second set of clusters and one of the first set of clusters being less than a first predetermined distance, (i) identifying one of the set of web services that received web requests corresponding to feature vectors in the selected cluster and (ii) generating a scanning alert.

Abstract: Described technologies enhance cybersecurity by leveraging collaborative filtering tools and techniques for security use by scoring attempts to access items in digital storage. Examples provided illustrate usage of accessor IDs and storage item IDs to compute recommendation scores which then operate as inverse measures of intrusion risk. Actions taken in response to recommendation scores that fall below a specified threshold may include preventing or terminating access, or alerting an administrator, for instance. A requested access may be allowed when the computed recommendation score is above a specified threshold, which indicates an acceptably low risk that the access is an unauthorized intrusion. Described cybersecurity technologies may be used by, or incorporated within, cloud services, cloud infrastructure, or virtual machines. Described cybersecurity technologies may also be used outside a cloud, e.g.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and apparatuses are provided for restricting access to a web resource. Website access information is obtained by monitoring accesses to a plurality of websites for each access, which may include a network identifier of an access requestor, a website identifier, and an access time for each request. Based on at least the website access information, it may be determined that a particular access requestor has accessed a number of different websites in a given time period. As a result, the particular access requestor may be classified as a web robot. A request to permit access to a web resource is received by the particular access requestor. In response to receiving the request to permit access to the web resource, the particular access requestor is prevented from accessing the web resource and/or a notification is generated that the particular access requestor is attempting to access the web resource.

Abstract: A previously-unknown type of attack on a web application can be detected dynamically using server logs. An alert can be raised for an application that returns a valid response to the potential attacker (e.g., when an http (hypertext transfer protocol) status code of 200 is returned to the requestor). Server logs can be analyzed to identify an external computer that uses the same attack methodology on multiple targets. The external computer may attempt to access the same Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) on various web sites. In many cases, the http status code that is returned is an error code. Characteristics such as but not limited to fast crawling and numerous error status codes being returned to a particular requestor can be used by a machine learning (ML) system to identify potentially malicious external computing devices and/or vulnerable URIs.
