A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US12008112B2) discloses a system for unified cyberthreat intelligence searching, comprising a data lake with multiple search clusters accessing various databases. The system involves analyst devices generating curated threat reports, which are then searched by a server based on client queries. The system allows for the display of intelligence cards with results from different search clusters, aiding in investigations. The system also includes features like proxying queries, access to raw communication data from platforms like Telegram and Discord, and search clusters for compromised credentials and various cyber threat indicators.

Furthermore, the patent details a method for unified cyberthreat intelligence searching, involving user queries transmitted to a server connected to a data lake with search clusters. Analyst devices modify intelligence data to create curated threat reports, which are then searched by the server based on user queries. The system generates intelligence cards with results from different search clusters, allowing users to select relevant information for further investigation. The method also includes features like access to raw conversation data, search clusters for compromised credentials, and indicators of compromise like IP addresses and malware hashes. The system aims to streamline cyber threat intelligence searching and investigation processes for enhanced cybersecurity measures.
