Automated verification system for cybersecurity threat handling
The patent application (Publication Number: US20240028714A1) describes a method for verification-informed handling of cybersecurity activity. The method involves attributing distinct threat activity types to a target cybersecurity event, constructing a cybersecurity threat verification communication based on an automated verification workflow, and transmitting this communication to a specific destination. Based on the response received, the method selectively routes the cybersecurity event for further action, such as escalation or disposal. Additionally, the method includes executing automated cybersecurity investigation workflows to accelerate threat mitigation based on the threat activity type.
Furthermore, the patent application details the association of threat severity levels to cybersecurity events, updating these levels based on verification responses. It also outlines the routes for cybersecurity event handling, including escalation and disposal routes. The method involves transmitting verification communications based on cybersecurity policies and threat activity types, utilizing distinct templates for different threat types. The communication includes selectable interface objects to indicate whether the event is a cybersecurity threat or not. Additionally, the method includes time-based triggers for executing automated investigations and deriving threat intelligence data. Overall, the method aims to streamline cybersecurity event verification, investigation, and response processes for efficient threat mitigation.
