SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR ACCELERATED REMEDIATIONS OF CYBERSECURITY ALERTS AND CYBERSECURITY EVENTS IN A CYBERSECURITY EVENT DETECTION AND RESPONSE PLATFORM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240031398 titled 'SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR ACCELERATED REMEDIATIONS OF CYBERSECURITY ALERTS AND CYBERSECURITY EVENTS IN A CYBERSECURITY EVENT DETECTION AND RESPONSE PLATFORM

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a system and method for accelerating the mitigation of malicious cybersecurity activity. Here are the key points:

  • The system identifies a cybersecurity event associated with a third-party application or service of a subscriber.
  • It generates a proposed remediation action for the cybersecurity event based on the identification.
  • The proposed remediation action is automatically assessed against the subscriber's automated remediation criteria.
  • If the proposed remediation action satisfies the criteria, a remediation action API request is automatically constructed.
  • The system then executes the remediation action API request to remediate or mitigate the suspected cybersecurity threat.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Enhancing cybersecurity incident response by automating the identification and remediation of threats associated with third-party applications or services.
  • Streamlining the process of assessing and executing remediation actions based on predefined criteria, reducing manual effort and response time.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Accelerates the threat mitigation process by automating the identification, assessment, and execution of remediation actions.
  • Improves the efficiency and effectiveness of cybersecurity incident response by integrating automated remediation criteria.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Reduces the time and effort required to mitigate cybersecurity threats, minimizing potential damage and downtime.
  • Enhances the overall security posture by quickly responding to and resolving threats associated with third-party applications or services.
  • Enables organizations to proactively address cybersecurity incidents, improving their ability to protect sensitive data and systems.


Original Abstract Submitted

a system and method for accelerating a threat mitigation of malicious cybersecurity activity includes: identifying, via one or more processors, a cybersecurity event associated with a third-party application or a third-party service of a subscriber; generating, via the one or more processors, a service-proposed remediation action for the cybersecurity event based on the identifying of the cybersecurity event; automatically assessing, via the one or more processors, the service-proposed remediation action against automated remediation criteria of the subscriber based on the generation of the service-proposed remediation action; automatically constructing, via the one or more processors, a remediation action application programming interface (api) request for the service-proposed remediation action based on the service-proposed remediation action satisfying the automated remediation criteria of the subscriber; and automatically executing, via the one or more processors, the remediation action api request to remediation or mitigate a suspected cybersecurity threat associated with the cybersecurity event.
