Latest Patents

One of his latest patents is the "Insider threat correlation tool." This invention provides systems and methods for calculating threat scores for individuals within an organization or domain. The invention relates to computer-implemented methods that form a predictive threat rating for user accounts. In one implementation, a first threat score representing a first time period may be calculated. The first threat score may be compared with aspects of the same user accounts for a second time period. Weighting schemes may be applied to certain activities, controls, and/or user accounts. Further aspects relate to apparatuses configured to execute methods for ranking individual user accounts. Certain embodiments may not block transmissions that violate predefined rules; however, indications of such improper transmission may be considered when constructing a threat rating. Blocked transmissions enforced upon a user account may also be received. Certain activity, such as accessing the internet, may be monitored for the presence of a security threat and/or an ethics threat.

Another notable patent is related to "Handling information security incidents." This invention presents methods, systems, computer-readable media, and apparatuses for managing information security incidents. In some embodiments, a computing device may receive information indicating that a network address is associated with an information security incident. Subsequently, the computing device may monitor activity associated with the network address. Based on the monitoring, the computing device may determine whether the network address represents an information security threat. In response to determining that the network address represents an information security threat, the computing device may cause one or more remediation actions to be performed. In some arrangements, the information security incident may be a denial of service attack.
