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 network traffic data, storing representations of data packets, detecting communication protocols, and restructuring the data based on rules derived from the protocols. The processed data is stored as non-malicious data, and incoming traffic is compared to detect anomalies, triggering remediation actions when necessary. The communication protocols considered include Modbus, FIX, DNP3, EGD, MQTT, COAP, IEC104, and others, ensuring a comprehensive analysis of network traffic for potential threats.
Furthermore, the patent describes an apparatus implementing the method, featuring input and output ports, a processor, and memory storing instructions for data processing. The apparatus receives network traffic data, detects communication protocols, and generates security policies based on processed data. It can also receive user inputs to initiate training phases, update machine learning models, and perform anomaly detection on live network traffic. The apparatus's ability to store non-malicious data, compare incoming traffic, and trigger remediation actions based on detected anomalies showcases a robust system for network security and threat detection, enhancing overall cybersecurity measures in network environments.
