Cyberattack monitoring system to identify successful attacks
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11956255B1) discloses a system for cyberattack reporting that involves the use of one or more computer devices to identify suspected attackers based on observed actions on a service. The system is designed to detect attempted attacks matching specific patterns and determine successful attacks by analyzing subsequent benign actions. By generating detailed reports on successful attacks, including information on the attackers and their actions, the system aims to enhance cybersecurity measures. Additionally, the system can determine if two web requests originate from the same client by considering various factors such as source IP address, identity tracking objects, session identifiers, and HTTP header attributes.
Furthermore, the patented system is capable of analyzing web server logs, detecting attack patterns like unsuccessful logins or unauthorized data access, and utilizing machine learning models to identify attackers and successful attacks. It also provides a graphical user interface for displaying reports and allows users to initiate remedial actions to mitigate attacks. The system can record suspected attackers in a database for monitoring and updating based on additional observed actions. Overall, the patented technology offers a comprehensive approach to cyberattack reporting, leveraging advanced algorithms and data analysis techniques to enhance cybersecurity measures and protect against malicious activities on services.
