  • Patent number: 11962609
    Abstract: Examples disclosed herein relate to source entities of security indicators. Some examples disclosed herein enable identifying, in a security information sharing platform, a security indicator that is originated from a source entity where the security indicator comprises an observable. Some examples further enable determining a reliability level of the source entity based on at least one of: security events, sightings of the observable, a first set of user feedback information that is submitted for the security indicator by users of the security information sharing platform, or a second set of user feedback information that is collected from external resources that are external to the security information sharing platform.

  • Patent number: 11310247
    Abstract: A machine-readable medium may store instructions executable by a processing resource to access log data of an enterprise and extract time-series data of an enterprise entity from the log data. The time-series data may include measured feature values of a set of selected features over a series of time periods. The instructions may be further executable to train a predictive model specific to the enterprise entity using the time-series data, wherein the predictive model is to generate, for a particular time period, a predicted feature value for each of the selected features; access actual feature values of the enterprise entity for the particular time period; apply first-level deviation criteria to the actual feature value and the predicted feature value of each selected feature to identify deviant features of the enterprise entity; and apply second-level deviation criteria to the identified deviant features to identify the enterprise entity as behaving abnormally.

  • Patent number: 11049026
    Abstract: Updating ground truth data in a security management platform is disclosed. One example is a system including at least one processor and a memory storing instructions executable by the at least one processor to receive, in a security management platform, event data relating to a plurality of events corresponding to operation of a computing arrangement in a current time interval, and computing ground truth data for the current time interval based on the received event data, and threat intelligence data from time intervals preceding the current time interval. A prediction model is applied to generate predictions for the current time interval based on the received event data. Ground truth data is re-computed for the time intervals preceding the current time interval based on a comparison of the generated predictions and the computed ground truth data.
