  • Patent number: 11962617
    Abstract: Embodiments of the invention are directed to a system, method, or computer program product for cross-channel network security with tiered adaptive mitigation operations. In this regard, the invention is structured for dynamic detection of security events associated with network devices and resources, and triggering real-time mitigation operations across a plurality of resource channels. The invention provides a novel method for employing activity data to construct and implement mitigation actions for de-escalating authorization tiers that are adapted to the specific attributes of the activity data, in order to prevent security exposure associated with the activity. Another aspect of the invention is directed to determining whether to continue the tiered adaptive mitigation actions and/or trigger a security proceed signal.

  • Patent number: 11949686
    Abstract: Systems, computer program products, and methods are described herein for intrusion detection using resource activity analysis. The present invention is configured to receive, from a computing device of a user, an indication that the user has accessed a resource allocation portfolio of a customer; determine a geographic information of the user; retrieve a geographic information of the customer; determine that the geographic information of the user does not match the geographic information of the customer; determine an exposure level associated with the user access of the resource allocation portfolio of the customer; determine that the exposure level is greater than a predetermined threshold; and automatically trigger a transmission of a notification to a computing device of an administrator indicating that the exposure level associated with the user access of the resource allocation portfolio of the customer is greater than the predetermined threshold.

  • Patent number: 11895133
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide an innovative system, method, and computer program product for automated device activity analysis in both a forward and reverse fashion. A collaborative system for receiving data and continuously analyzing the data to determine emerging patterns associated with particular user devices is provided. The system is also designed to generate a historical query of user device touch points or interaction points with entity systems across multiple data vectors, and generate system alerts as patterns or potential issues are identified. Common characteristics of data may be used to detect patterns that are broadened in scope and used in a generative neural network approach.

  • Publication number: 20230089968
    Abstract: Systems, computer program products, and methods are described herein for detection and classification of intrusion using machine learning techniques. The present invention is configured to electronically receive, from a computing device of a user, an indication that the user has initiated a first resource interaction; retrieve information associated with the first resource interaction, wherein the information comprises at least one or more parameters associated with the first resource interaction; initiate a machine learning model on the one or more parameters associated with the first resource interaction; and classify, using the machine learning model, the first resource interaction into one or more classes, wherein the one or more classes comprises one or more access types.

  • Patent number: 11405385
    Abstract: The invention relates to alternate user communication routing for a one-time credential. When a user is determined to be an unauthorized user, the unauthorized user may be provided with an alternative one-time credential (e.g., one-time password, or the like) in response to the user trying to take an action (e.g., to access the organization systems in order to access information). When the unauthorized user tries to utilize the alternative one-time credential, the organization may identify the user as unauthorized and determine how to respond to the unauthorized user. In addition to the alternative one-time credential, one or more additional alternate treatments may be presented to the unauthorized user in order to identify, track, and/or prevent access by the unauthorized user.

  • Patent number: 11356441
    Abstract: A system and methods for alternate user communication routing are described. Unauthorized users are identified and alternate treatments are provided in order to deter unauthorized access and create opportunities for data collection. The use of a varied set of alternate treatments provides an enhanced view of unauthorized user behavior and an increased ability to track future unauthorized user actions by recording various user identity/communication characteristics specific to known unauthorized users. Alternate treatments may be provided randomly based on a set of alternate treatments previously provided to a specific user, or may be varied based on an identified group of unauthorized users presumed to be acting in concert.
