Application: Automatic threat actor attribution based on multiple evidence (Patent ID: US20240064158A1)
The patent filed by ForeScout Technologies Inc. describes systems and methods for threat attribution, involving accessing network traffic to identify coordinated attacks, determining incidents with indicators of compromise (IoCs) and Tactics, Techniques and Procedures (TTPs), computing probability functions based on IoCs and TTPs, generating an aggregate probability function, deriving attribution information, and storing it with the incident. The method includes mapping IoCs to known threat actors, computing probabilities of attribution, inputting TTPs to a trained classifier, grouping IoCs into types, and combining multiple probability functions to form the aggregate probability function.
The patent also includes claims for a method, system, and computer-readable medium for implementing the threat attribution process. The method involves accessing network traffic, determining incidents, computing probability functions based on IoCs and TTPs, generating an aggregate probability function, deriving attribution information, and storing it with the incident. The system comprises a memory and a processing device to perform the steps outlined in the method claims. The computer-readable medium contains instructions for executing the threat attribution process, including mapping IoCs to threat actors, inputting TTPs to a trained classifier, grouping IoCs into types, and combining probability functions to generate the aggregate probability function.
