Cyber-threat intelligence infrastructure for identifying security vulnerabilities
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11888884B2) discloses a cyber-threat intelligence (CTI) infrastructure designed to enhance network security by processing network reporting information collected by a plurality of network devices. The infrastructure includes a collection of CTI servers responsible for receiving, storing, and enriching the network reporting information with enrichment data. This process involves tagging records with indications of whether the source and destination are identified as clients or servers, which are then processed by real-time threat analysis components to identify potential security vulnerabilities. The infrastructure also features offline threat analysis components, alert components, and the ability to configure network devices such as firewalls and routers based on the results of the analysis.
Furthermore, the patent details a method for processing network information within the CTI infrastructure, which involves receiving, storing, and enriching network reporting information with enrichment data. This method includes identifying sources and destinations as clients or servers, processing the information with real-time threat analysis components, and updating the components based on the enriched data. The method also encompasses offline threat analysis, alert generation, and the ability to configure network devices based on the analysis results. Overall, the CTI infrastructure and method aim to provide a comprehensive approach to identifying and addressing potential security vulnerabilities in network traffic, utilizing a combination of real-time and offline analysis components, alert mechanisms, and network device configuration capabilities.
