  • Apparatus and methods for determining event information and intrusion detection at a host device
    Patent number: 11695787
    Abstract: Disclosed are apparatus and methods that facilitate analysis of events associated with network and computer systems. The methodology includes determining at least one lookup key in a host device for an event occurring in the host device and determining whether the at least one lookup key is used in a memory to determine if at least one key-value pair exists for the event. The methodology also includes appending the at least one key-value pair to the event, and storing the at least one key-value pair in the memory based on the at least one lookup key including replacing existing keys found for the at least one lookup key.
    Type: Grant

  • Method and apparatus for analyzing system events
    Patent number: 8560481
    Abstract: An apparatus and an associated method facilitate analysis of events associated with a network system. Event occurrence items are compared with event rules of an event rule set to determine whether the items are potentially significant. If considered to be potentially significant, a scorer assigns a score to the event occurrence item to provide a relative indication of the potential significance of the event occurrence item.
