CYBERSECURITY EVENT DETECTION SYSTEM AND METHOD - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240311471 titled 'CYBERSECURITY EVENT DETECTION SYSTEM AND METHOD

The patent application describes a method for modifying a cybersecurity event detector in a production environment to enhance the detection of potential cybersecurity events.

• Receiving an indication of a desired modification to the cybersecurity event detector.
• Modifying the cybersecurity event detector in a sandbox environment based on the desired modification.
• Determining if system events are indicative of potential cybersecurity events using the modified detector.

Potential Applications: - Enhancing cybersecurity measures in production environments. - Improving the accuracy of detecting potential cybersecurity threats.

Problems Solved: - Enhancing the efficiency and effectiveness of cybersecurity event detection. - Providing a safe environment to test modifications to cybersecurity event detectors.

Benefits: - Increased cybersecurity protection in production environments. - Real-time detection and response to potential cybersecurity threats.

Commercial Applications: Title: "Enhanced Cybersecurity Event Detection System" This technology can be applied in industries such as finance, healthcare, and government to protect sensitive data and systems from cyber threats. It can also be used by cybersecurity companies to offer advanced threat detection services to clients.

Questions about the technology: 1. How does this method improve the accuracy of detecting potential cybersecurity events? - The method allows for real-time testing and modification of the cybersecurity event detector to enhance its effectiveness in detecting threats. 2. What are the potential implications of using this technology in high-risk industries such as finance and healthcare? - Implementing this technology can significantly improve the security posture of organizations in high-risk industries by providing advanced threat detection capabilities.

Original Abstract Submitted

a method, performed by one or more processors, includes: receiving an indication of a desired modification to a cybersecurity event detector that is being contemporaneously used for the detection of potential cybersecurity events in a production environment; modifying, in a sandbox environment, the cybersecurity event detector based on the indication of the desired modification to the cybersecurity event detector; and for each system event in a set of system events, determining, in the sandbox environment, whether the respective system event is indicative of a potential cybersecurity event using the modified cybersecurity event detector. related apparatus are also disclosed.
