Application: Multi-factor authentication in endpoint detection and response (Patent ID: US20230421601A1)
The patent filed by IBM describes techniques for cybersecurity incident mitigation using Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) functions in a networked environment. The method involves detecting security incidents on endpoints, identifying administrators, initiating Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) processes by sending push notifications to associated devices, and characterizing the maliciousness of the incident based on responses received. The system and computer program product also include steps for verifying administrator identity, mitigating security incidents based on response outcomes, and metering software usage for generating invoices.
The method outlined in the patent involves a series of steps to enhance cybersecurity incident response, including MFA processes for administrators, characterizing incident maliciousness, and taking appropriate mitigation actions. By utilizing EDR functions and push notifications to verify administrator identity and response to incidents, the system aims to improve incident handling efficiency and accuracy. Additionally, the patent covers aspects related to software usage metering and invoicing, providing a comprehensive approach to cybersecurity incident management in networked environments.
