Automated computer security policy generation and anomaly detection
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11924316B2) outlines a method for network traffic analysis to detect anomalies and trigger remediation actions. The method involves receiving and storing network traffic data, detecting communication protocols, generating rules based on these protocols, and restructuring the data accordingly. The processed data is stored as non-malicious data, which is then compared to incoming traffic to identify anomalies. Upon detecting an anomaly, a signal is sent to initiate a remediation action, potentially blocking malicious data packets from transmission. The method aims to enhance network security by proactively identifying and addressing potential threats in real-time.
Furthermore, the patent describes an apparatus implementing the method, comprising input and output ports, a processor, and memory storing instructions for data processing. The apparatus receives network traffic data, detects communication protocols, generates rules, and restructures data to identify anomalies. It can also generate security policies based on processed data and update machine learning models for improved detection. The apparatus allows for live network traffic analysis, anomaly detection, and triggering of remediation actions. By leveraging domain-specific information associated with various communication protocols, the apparatus enhances network security by efficiently identifying and responding to potential threats. The method and apparatus outlined in the patent offer a comprehensive approach to network security, combining data analysis, rule generation, and real-time remediation to safeguard against malicious activities effectively.
