  • Patent number: 11157571
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide a system for extracting external website data using generated polymorphic data. The system is configured for receiving an input from at least one of a plurality of entity systems or at least one of a plurality of user computing systems, wherein the plurality of user computing systems and the plurality of entity systems are connected to a first network, wherein the input is associated with at least one third party server, generating random user information, wherein the generated random user information is dynamic, creating polymorphic user profiles based on the generated random user information, accessing the at least one third party server from a second network different from the first network using the polymorphic user profiles, and extracting data associated with the at least one third party server.

  • Patent number: 10868782
    Abstract: Embodiments provide a system for flagging data transmissions for retention of metadata and triggering appropriate transmission placement. Embodiments receive a plurality of data transmissions represented in a transmission queue; determine that a first data transmission of the plurality of data transmissions is suspicious; and, in response to the determination, automatically flag the first data transmission for retention of metadata associated with the first data transmission. The data transmission may then be placed in an appropriate location.

  • Patent number: 10805342
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide a system for automated malfeasance detection. Dedicated communication channels are established between a computing device system of a first entity and a computing device system of a service provider, where the service provider manages, operates, or is otherwise associated with certain web pages. The presence of a malfeasance within one of these web pages of the service provider is detected, and a malfeasance report is generated in response to detecting the malfeasance. This malfeasance report includes an automatic malfeasance remediation action that, when transmitted to the computing device system of the service provider, causes the computing device system of the service provider to automatically execute one or more actions that are responsive to the malfeasance.

  • Patent number: 10771485
    Abstract: Embodiments of the invention are directed to a system, method, or computer program product for cross-channel electronic communication security. In this regard, the invention provides dynamic construction and targeting of adaptive simulated malicious electronic communications for unsecure communication identification by a user. The invention configures adaptive simulated malicious electronic communications for interacting with users via user interfaces of the multiple electronic communication media and user devices. Another aspect of the invention is directed to configuring, dynamically and in real time, a simulated malicious electronic communication for one electronic communication medium, based on and in response to, user actions on another simulated malicious electronic communication on another electronic communication medium.

  • Publication number: 20200020059
    Abstract: A system for detecting and remediating invalid domain name registration requests typically includes a processor, a memory, and an analysis resolution module stored in the memory. The analysis module is typically configured for: receiving a brand submission comprising a brand identifier from a brand custodian; validating the brand submission; storing a brand validation record in a brand database; receiving a domain name registration request for a domain name; comparing the domain name to the brand identifier; determining that the domain name comprises the brand identifier or an imitation of the brand identifier; in response to determining that the domain name comprises the brand identifier or the imitation of the brand identifier, transmitting a notification to the brand custodian; receiving a response to the notification from the brand custodian; and based on the response to the notification from the brand custodian, rejecting or approving the domain name registration request.
