SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR INTELLIGENT CYBER SECURITY THREAT DETECTION AND INTELLIGENT VERIFICATION-INFORMED HANDLING OF CYBER SECURITY EVENTS THROUGH AUTOMATED VERIFICATION WORKFLOWS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240028714 titled 'SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR INTELLIGENT CYBER SECURITY THREAT DETECTION AND INTELLIGENT VERIFICATION-INFORMED HANDLING OF CYBER SECURITY EVENTS THROUGH AUTOMATED VERIFICATION WORKFLOWS

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a system and method for automated verification of a cybersecurity event. It involves identifying a cybersecurity event, constructing a response-enabled verification communication, and transmitting it to the subscriber associated with the event. The verification communication includes event-descriptive content, a selectable object to increase threat severity, and a selectable object to de-escalate threat severity. The cybersecurity event is then routed based on subscriber input.

  • The system automates the verification process of a cybersecurity event.
  • It constructs a response-enabled verification communication based on the features of the event.
  • The communication includes event-descriptive content, allowing the subscriber to understand the event.
  • It includes selectable objects to increase or decrease the threat severity level of the event.
  • The subscriber can select the objects to escalate or de-escalate the severity accordingly.
  • The cybersecurity event is then routed based on the subscriber's input, either escalating or de-escalating the threat.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Enhancing cybersecurity incident response by automating the verification process.
  • Streamlining communication between subscribers and cybersecurity teams.
  • Enabling subscribers to actively participate in threat severity management.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Manual verification of cybersecurity events can be time-consuming and prone to errors.
  • Communication between subscribers and cybersecurity teams may be inefficient or delayed.
  • Managing threat severity levels manually can be challenging and may lead to misjudgments.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Faster and more accurate verification of cybersecurity events.
  • Improved communication and collaboration between subscribers and cybersecurity teams.
  • Enhanced threat severity management, allowing for timely and appropriate responses.


Original Abstract Submitted

a system and method for automated verification of a cybersecurity event includes identifying a cybersecurity event of a subscriber; automatically constructing a response-enabled verification communication based on one or more features of the cybersecurity event satisfying verification-initiating criteria of an automated verification-initiation workflow, and transmitting the response-enabled verification communication to the subscriber associated with the cybersecurity event, wherein the response-enabled verification communication includes: one or more pieces of event-descriptive content; a first selectable interface object that, when selected by the subscriber, automatically increases a threat severity level of the cybersecurity event; and a second selectable interface object that, when selected by the subscriber, automatically de-escalates the threat severity level of the cybersecurity event causing a disposal of the cybersecurity event; and automatically routing the cybersecurity event to one of a cybersecurity threat escalation route and a cybersecurity threat de-escalation route based on subscriber input.
