Application: Dynamic message analysis platform for enhanced enterprise security (Patent ID: US20230353591A1)
The patent filed by Proofpoint Inc. describes a computing platform that uses automated methods to analyze relationships between message sender domains and recipient domains. By applying a security scoring process, the platform computes a weighted security score for sender domains and determines a grade based on this score. Depending on the grade, the platform executes enhanced protection actions for the sender domain. The platform can identify relationships manually or automatically, evaluate security based on various factors, and trigger different protection actions based on the grade.
The computing platform's method involves identifying relationships between sender and recipient domains using automated methods, computing a final set of rank-ordered external domains, applying a security scoring process, determining a grade, and executing enhanced protection actions. The platform can also use manual methods to identify relationships, receive information from enterprise user devices, and evaluate security based on factors like security posture, historical threat information, and trust metrics. The protection actions triggered can range from informative alerts and reports to active measures like enforcing email authentication verification and security awareness training, depending on the grade assigned to the sender domain.
