Patent number: 12153674Abstract: An event graph can be generated, and, upon malware detection, traversed backward to identify a root cause associated with the malware detection. Using this information, rules for earlier malware detection can be created by analyzing the event graph proximal to the root cause rather than proximal to the malware detection trigger.Type: GrantFiled: March 8, 2022Date of Patent: November 26, 2024Assignee: Sophos LimitedInventors: Beata Ladnai, Mark David Harris, Andrew J. Thomas, Andrew G. P. Smith, Russell Humphries

Patent number: 12093383Abstract: An event graph associated with a root cause for a change in security state on an endpoint is used to facilitate malware detection on other endpoints.Type: GrantFiled: March 8, 2022Date of Patent: September 17, 2024Assignee: Sophos LimitedInventors: Beata Ladnai, Mark David Harris, Andrew J. Thomas, Andrew G. P. Smith, Russell Humphries

Patent number: 12079757Abstract: An endpoint coupled in a communicating relationship with an enterprise network may include a data recorder configured to store an event stream of data indicating events on the endpoint including types of changes to computing objects, a filter configured to locally process the event stream into a filtered event stream including a subset of types of changes to the computing objects, and a local security agent. The local security agent may be configured to transmit the filtered event stream to a threat management facility, respond to a filter adjustment from the threat management facility by adjusting the filter to modify the subset of types of changes included in the filtered event stream, and respond to a query from the threat management facility by retrieving data stored in the data recorder over a time window before the query and excluded from the filtered event stream.Type: GrantFiled: August 14, 2023Date of Patent: September 3, 2024Assignee: Sophos LimitedInventors: Beata Ladnai, Mark D. Harris, Andrew G. P. Smith, Kenneth D. Ray, Andrew J. Thomas, Russell Humphries

Patent number: 12052272Abstract: A data recorder stores endpoint activity on an ongoing basis as sequences of events that causally relate computer objects such as processes and files. When a security event is detected, an event graph may be generated based on these causal relationships among the computing objects. For a root cause analysis, the event graph may be traversed in a reverse order from the point of an identified security event (e.g., a malware detection event) to preceding computing objects, while applying one or more cause identification rules to identify a root cause of the security event. Once a root cause is identified, the event graph may be traversed forward from the root cause to identify other computing objects that are potentially compromised by the root cause.Type: GrantFiled: July 9, 2021Date of Patent: July 30, 2024Assignee: Sophos LimitedInventors: Beata Ladnai, Mark David Harris, Andrew J. Thomas, Andrew G. P. Smith, Russell Humphries, Kenneth D. Ray
