ADAPTIVE SEVERITY FUNCTIONS FOR ALERTS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18355740 titled 'ADAPTIVE SEVERITY FUNCTIONS FOR ALERTS

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes methods, systems, and apparatuses for adaptive severity functions for security alerts.

  • The severity of alerts, particularly security alerts, can be adjusted based on the global security situation.
  • Time and other parameters are taken into consideration to prioritize or reprioritize alerts.
  • Severity levels can be modified based on rules, triggering events, or using severity functions with or without artificial intelligence.
  • The invention aims to provide a more efficient and effective way of managing security alerts.


Original Abstract Submitted

Methods, systems and apparatuses are described herein to provide adaptive severity functions for alerts, particularly security alerts. The adaptive severity functions may be aligned with an existing global security situation to upgrade or downgrade the severity of new and existing alerts. By taking into consideration the time factor along with other parameters, the alerts may be prioritized or reprioritized appropriately. The modification of the severity level for the alerts may be made based on rules and/or one or more triggering events or by using severity functions with or without the aid of artificial intelligence based on best-practice preferences.
