METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR AUTOMATED ANALYSIS OF INDUSTRIAL CYBERSECURITY EVENTS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240275798 titled 'METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR AUTOMATED ANALYSIS OF INDUSTRIAL CYBERSECURITY EVENTS

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a system that uses a knowledge graph to analyze cybersecurity events in industrial systems. It generates priority scores for entities and events to prioritize alerts from security tools.

  • The system produces observed triple statements from events received from a security tool.
  • A link-prediction component estimates a probability score for each observed triple statement by link prediction in a knowledge graph.
  • A scoring component computes priority scores for entities and events based on the probability scores.
  • Priority scores help prioritize alerts from security tools in an unsupervised manner.
  • The system does not directly predict maliciousness but uses priority scores to evaluate and prioritize system observations.

Key Features and Innovation

  • Utilizes a knowledge graph for analyzing cybersecurity events in industrial systems.
  • Generates priority scores for entities and events to prioritize alerts.
  • Works in an unsupervised manner without directly predicting maliciousness.

Original Abstract Submitted

a first mapping component produces observed triple statements from events received from a security tool monitoring an industrial system. a link-prediction component estimates a probability score for each observed triple statement by link prediction in a knowledge graph. a scoring component computes priority score for an entity of the industrial system contained in the knowledge graph and/or events based on the probability scores. priority scores can be computed for some or all possible events in the industrial system as a reference to prioritize alerts coming from the security tools. the system works in an unsupervised manner. in fact, the system does not directly try to infer (predict) maliciousness in entities or events on the knowledge graph. instead, priority scores are used during operation to evaluate actual system observations and prioritize them. therefore, a knowledge graph-based recommendation system for automated analysis of industrial cybersecurity events is provided.
