METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR ANOMALOUS OPERATION DETECTION ON AN ENTERPRISE SERVER - A simplified explanation of the abstract

  • This abstract for appeared for US patent application number 17726817 Titled 'METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR ANOMALOUS OPERATION DETECTION ON AN ENTERPRISE SERVER'

Simplified Explanation

This abstract describes a method for handling a special type of operation called a privileged operation. The method involves a privileged operations monitor, which is a program running on a data server. When a client device sends a privileged operation request, the monitor receives it. The monitor then collects various measurements related to the request, such as its size or duration. Using these measurements, it calculates a score that indicates how unusual or abnormal the request is. Based on this score, the monitor determines if the request is anomalous or not. If it is deemed anomalous, the monitor places a hold on the request, meaning it temporarily stops the request from being processed further.


Original Abstract Submitted

A method for holding an anomalous privileged operation, that includes receiving, by a privileged operations monitor executing on a data server, a privileged operation request from a client device, obtaining a plurality of metrics for the privileged operation request, calculating an anomaly score for the privileged operation request, based on the plurality of metrics, making a first determination, based on the anomaly score, that the privileged operation request is anomalous, and based on the first determination, placing a hold on the privileged operation request.
