A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11914461B1) discloses a method and system for detecting and handling anomalies in a network. The method involves collecting meta-data related to the environment of each organization using the network, extracting features from the meta-data, clustering organizations with common features into segments, collecting training data, training a model for each segment to detect anomalies, analyzing event data with the respective model, providing a decision score, and handling the anomaly based on the score. The trained models can be delivered to local computers or stored at a multi-tenant server for analysis across organizations within the segment. The decision score helps prioritize anomalies for immediate attention or handling in due course, considering factors like simultaneous occurrences across multiple computers in the same segment and time intervals between events.

Furthermore, the system for anomaly detection and handling includes a central server computer with a processor and memory, executing a program to collect meta-data, extract features, cluster organizations, collect training data, train models, analyze event data, provide decision scores, and handle anomalies. The system allows for the delivery of trained models to local computers or storage at a multi-tenant server, enabling efficient analysis of event data across organizations within the segment. The decision score aids in determining the priority of anomalies, with considerations for simultaneous occurrences and time intervals between events. The clustering and training processes are repeated periodically to adapt to new data and ensure effective anomaly detection and handling.
