TODAY’S PATENT – LATERAL MOVEMENT DETECTION FOR NETWORK SECURITY ANALYSIS

The said invention (US10015177B2) was invented by Sudhakar Muddu, Christos Tryfonas, Fumei Lam, and Georgios Apostolopoulos and patented by USPTO on July 3rd, 2018. Currently, it stands assigned to Splunk Inc.

It has long been an objective of computer network managers to identify activities that can compromise security. When it comes to computer networks, a security platform is a must-have tool for spotting suspicious activity and potential dangers. Security appliances are used in known systems to provide network security. Security appliance servers or computers have been implemented at network locations throughout time.

The installed device analyses network traffic. Your device may detect malware, infiltration, and data theft. Security devices can’t handle increased network traffic. Increased network traffic requires security companies to upgrade equipment, which takes time.

This innovation uses a computer system to detect security breaches in network activity data. A user’s interaction with unique network devices generates information, usage relationships, and similarity ratings to identify possibly dangerous conduct. This detects suspicious activity. The system detects and quickly responds to potential assaults, improving network security.
