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 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 effectiveness of cybersecurity event detection. - Providing a safe environment to test modifications to cybersecurity systems.

Benefits: - Increased security in production environments. - Improved response to potential cybersecurity threats.

Commercial Applications: Title: Enhanced Cybersecurity Event Detection for Production Environments This technology can be used by cybersecurity companies, IT departments, and organizations handling sensitive data to enhance their cybersecurity measures and protect against potential threats in production environments.

Questions about Enhanced Cybersecurity Event Detection for Production Environments:

1. How does this technology improve cybersecurity measures in production environments? This technology enhances cybersecurity measures by modifying the cybersecurity event detector to better detect potential threats in real-time.

2. What are the benefits of using a sandbox environment to test modifications to cybersecurity systems? Using a sandbox environment allows for safe testing of modifications without risking the security of the production environment.

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.
