Patent number: 12081522Abstract: Introduced here are threat detection platforms designed to discover possible instances of email account compromise in order to identify threats to an enterprise. In particular, a threat detection platform can examine the digital activities performed with the email accounts associated with employees of the enterprise to determine whether any email accounts are exhibiting abnormal behavior. Examples of digital activities include the reception of an incoming email, transmission of an outgoing email, creation of a mail filter, and occurrence of a sign-in event (also referred to as a “login event”). Thus, the threat detection platform can monitor the digital activities performed with a given email account to determine the likelihood that the given email account has been compromised.Type: GrantFiled: May 23, 2022Date of Patent: September 3, 2024Assignee: Abnormal Security CorporationInventors: Dmitry Chechik, Umut Gultepe, Raphael Kargon, Jeshua Alexis Bratman, Cheng-Lin Yeh, Sanny Xiao Lang Liao, Erin Elisabeth Edkins Ludert, Sanjay Jeyakumar, Hariank Sagar Muthakana

Publication number: 20240291834Abstract: Access to emails delivered to an employee of an enterprise is received. An incoming email addressed to the employee is acquired. A primary attribute is extracted from the incoming email by parsing at least one of: (1) content of the incoming email or (2) metadata associated with the incoming email. It is determined whether the incoming email deviates from past email activity, at least in part by determining, as a secondary attribute, a mismatch between a previous value for the primary attribute and a current value for the primary attribute, using a communication profile associated with the employee, and providing a measured deviation to at least one machine learning model.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 26, 2024Publication date: August 29, 2024Inventors: Sanjay Jeyakumar, Jeshua Alexis Bratman, Dmitry Chechik, Abhijit Bagri, Evan Reiser, Sanny Xiao Lang Liao, Yu Zhou Lee, Carlos Daniel Gasperi, Kevin Lau, Kai Jing Jiang, Su Li Debbie Tan, Jeremy Kao, Cheng-Lin Yeh

Publication number: 20240171596Abstract: A message addressed to a user is received. A first model is applied to the message to produce a first output indicative of whether the message is representative of a non-malicious message. The first model is trained using past messages that have been verified as non-malicious messages. It is determined, based on the first output, that the message is potentially a malicious message. Responsive to determining that the message is potentially a malicious email based on the first output, apply a second model to the message to produce a second output indicative of whether the message is representative of a given type of attack. The second model is one of a plurality of models. At least one model included in the plurality of models is associated with characterizing a goal of the malicious message. An action is performed with respect to the message based on the second output.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 26, 2023Publication date: May 23, 2024Inventors: Sanjay Jeyakumar, Jeshua Alexis Bratman, Dmitry Chechik, Abhijit Bagri, Evan Reiser, Sanny Xiao Lang Liao, Yu Zhou Lee, Carlos Daniel Gasperi, Kevin Lau, Kai Jing Jiang, Su Li Debbie Tan, Jeremy Kao, Cheng-Lin Yeh

Patent number: 11973772Abstract: Conventional email filtering services are not suitable for recognizing sophisticated malicious emails, and therefore may allow sophisticated malicious emails to reach inboxes by mistake. Introduced here are threat detection platforms designed to take an integrative approach to detecting security threats. For example, after receiving input indicative of an approval from an individual to access past email received by employees of an enterprise, a threat detection platform can download past emails to build a machine learning (ML) model that understands the norms of communication with internal contacts (e.g., other employees) and/or external contacts (e.g., vendors). By applying the ML model to incoming email, the threat detection platform can identify security threats in real time in a targeted manner.Type: GrantFiled: February 22, 2022Date of Patent: April 30, 2024Assignee: Abnormal Security CorporationInventors: Sanjay Jeyakumar, Jeshua Alexis Bratman, Dmitry Chechik, Abhijit Bagri, Evan Reiser, Sanny Xiao Lang Liao, Yu Zhou Lee, Carlos Daniel Gasperi, Kevin Lau, Kai Jiang, Su Li Debbie Tan, Jeremy Kao, Cheng-Lin Yeh

Patent number: 11704406Abstract: Deriving and surfacing insights regarding security threats is disclosed. A plurality of features associated with a message is determined. A plurality of facet models is used to analyze the determined features. Based at least in part on the analysis, it is determined that the message poses a security threat. A prioritized set of information is determined to be provided as output that is representative of why the message was determined to pose a security threat. At least a portion of the prioritized set of information is provided as output.Type: GrantFiled: September 12, 2022Date of Patent: July 18, 2023Assignee: Abnormal Security CorporationInventors: Yu Zhou Lee, Kai Jiang, Su Li Debbie Tan, Geng Sng, Cheng-Lin Yeh, Lawrence Stockton Moore, Sanny Xiao Lang Liao, Joey Esteban Cerquera, Jeshua Alexis Bratman, Sanjay Jeyakumar, Nishant Bhalchandra Karandikar
