Abstract: A novel enterprise security solution allows for precise interception and surgical response to attack progression, in real time, as it occurs across a distributed infrastructure. The solution includes a data monitoring and management framework that continually models system level host and network activities as mutually exclusive infrastructure wide execution sequences and bucketizes them into unique execution trails. A multimodal intelligent security middleware detects indicators of compromise in real-time on top of subsets of each unique execution trail using rule based behavioral analytics, machine learning based anomaly detection, and other sources. Each detection result dynamically contributes to aggregated risk scores at execution trail level granularities. These scores can be used to prioritize and identify highest risk attack trails to end users, along with steps that such end users can perform to mitigate further damage and progression of an attack.

Abstract: A payment processing system continuously processes transactions having data elements. A profile table exists for each data element of the transactions and is continuously updated with risk variables in real time. Risk metrics of various types are calculated in real-time if criteria are met. A risk metric percentage is compared to one of two thresholds to determine whether or not to trigger a strike and whether or not to turn on alert for a particular data element of a profile table. If an alert is turned on then the thresholds become more restrictive for that particular data element for future transactions. Fraud model parameters are also adjusted if a strike is triggered or an alert is turned on. An alert is turned off after passage of time and if the risk metric for a future transaction is below a threshold. Rules are created in real time if an alert is on.
