Patent number: 12069083Abstract: Various embodiments assess security risks of users in computing networks. In some embodiments, an interaction item is sent to an end user electronic device. When the end user interacts with the interaction item, the system collects feedback data that includes information about the user's interaction with the interaction item, as well as technical information about the electronic device. The feedback is compared to a plurality of security risk scoring metrics. Based on this comparison, a security risk score for the user with respect to a computing network.Type: GrantFiled: March 14, 2022Date of Patent: August 20, 2024Assignee: Proofpoint, Inc.Inventors: Trevor Tyler Hawthorn, Norman Sadeh-Koniecpol, Nathan Miller, Jeff Losapio, Kurt Frederick Wescoe, Jason R. Brubaker, Jason Hong

Patent number: 10778626Abstract: An electronic device will identify an electronic message received by a messaging client that is associated with a first recipient, and it will analyze the electronic message to determine whether the electronic message is a simulated malicious message. Upon determining that electronic message is a simulated malicious message, the device will identify an actuatable element in the electronic message. The actuatable element will include a service address. The device will modify the electronic message by appending a user identifier of the first recipient to the service address of the actuatable element. Then, when the actutable element is actuated, the system may determine whether the first recipient actuated the actuatable element or an alternate recipient did so based on whether the user identifier of the first recipient is still appended (or is the only user identifier appended) to the actuatable element.Type: GrantFiled: February 4, 2019Date of Patent: September 15, 2020Assignee: Proofpoint, Inc.Inventors: Kurt Wescoe, Trevor Tyler Hawthorn, Alan Himler, Patrick H.

Patent number: 10182031Abstract: An electronic messaging system includes a messaging server that identifies a recipient for an electronic message. The messaging system sends the recipient an electronic message that includes instrumented content. A web server monitors activity and determines whether interaction occurred with the instrumented content. The web server determines whether a sandbox intercepted the message based on whether interaction occurred, or did not occur, with the instrumented content within a threshold time period or with one or more activity characteristics.Type: GrantFiled: December 23, 2016Date of Patent: January 15, 2019Assignee: WOMBAT SECURITY TECHNOLOGIES, INC.Inventor: Trevor Tyler Hawthorn

Publication number: 20150229664Abstract: Various embodiments assess security risks of users in computing networks. In one embodiment, a set of input data is obtained. The set of input data comprises at least one of security item interaction data, training interaction data, and technical information for each of a set of users in a plurality of users associated with an entity. The security item interaction data comprises at least one action performed by each of the set of users with respect to at least one computing network-based security item presented to each of the set of users. The set of input data to is compared to a plurality of security risk scoring metrics. Based on this comparison, a security risk score for each of the set of users with respect to a computing network is calculated.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 12, 2015Publication date: August 13, 2015Inventors: Trevor Tyler HAWTHORN, Nathan MILLER, Jeff LoSAPIO

Patent number: 8782796Abstract: Novel systems and methods for testing network security are disclosed. In one example, at least one specified data message and at least one specified access credential to at least one third-party web-based service is stored on a monitoring system. At least one software agent configured with the specified data message and the specified access credential to the third-party web-based service is installed on at least on system to be tested. The software agent is executed on the testing system to send the specified data message to the third-party web-based service using the specified access credential. A monitoring system which is independent of the network, access the third-party web-based service with the access credential. The monitoring system compares, if data on the third-party web-based service is equivalent to the specified data message sent by the software agent. In another example, the software agent is configured with a custom start-logging command.Type: GrantFiled: June 22, 2012Date of Patent: July 15, 2014Assignee: Stratum Security, Inc.Inventors: Trevor Tyler Hawthorn, Nathan Miller, Jeffrey LoSapio
