Publication number: 20260135869Abstract: A bot detection service associated with an overlay network operates to score traffic as a probability of being a bot, as opposed to returning a binary classification (i.e., bot or human). According to the approach herein, scoring is determined through probability estimates, wherein a score (the probability) is based on considering a set of detections concurrently. In one embodiment, all (or substantially all) triggered (current) threat detections contribute to the score. The preferred approach penalizes requests that fail all (or substantially all) combinations of detection algorithms. According to a further feature, an automated tuning (autotuning) is also applied, e.g., using real-time empirical statistical models, to adapt the measurement of false positive probability for one or more threat detection algorithms to suit customer traffic trends. The approach herein is also extensible to include any number of future threat detection algorithms.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 29, 2025Publication date: May 14, 2026Inventors: Zixu Wang, Tyson J. Thomas, Sreenath Kurupati

Publication number: 20250323938Abstract: A bot detection service is enhanced by providing improved threat scoring using dynamic clustering of telemetry data received from a server. The detection approach leverages the notion that bot traffic is statistically anomalous compared to empirical models of human traffic. In particular, bots have more similar and repeating network patterns (i.e., lists of field values derived from client telemetry) that lend themselves to tighter clustering than random human traffic. The technique herein leverages this notion by providing a bot detection service with a network pattern clustering algorithm that differentiates bot-versus-human traffic by searching for similar and repeating network patterns that cluster together by virtue of having lesser variation (as compared to human traffic) in their field value sets.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 24, 2025Publication date: October 16, 2025Inventors: Tyson J. Thomas, Zhige Xin

Publication number: 20240095308Abstract: Disclosed are some implementations of methods, apparatuses, systems, and computer program products including non-transitory computer-readable storage media directed to anomaly detection. In some implementations, input vectors can be obtained in association with a learning process. The input vectors can be iteratively processed to compute a knowledge map. The input vectors can be iteratively processed to determine metadata associated with one or more knowledge elements. An anomaly value can be determined based on the knowledge map and the metadata. An alert can be raised indicating that an anomaly was detected if the anomaly value traverses a threshold.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 2, 2023Publication date: March 21, 2024Inventors: Tyson J. Thomas, Gray L. Selby, Kristopher R. Buschelman
