Malware detection and data loss prevention in saas applications
The granted patent US12041089B2 outlines a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium designed for programming processors within a Cloud Access Security Broker (CASB) system. The primary function of this system is to conduct scans of users associated with a tenant in a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) application. These scans identify malware and implement Data Loss Prevention (DLP) measures within the application. The system maintains records of various incidents related to malware and DLP, and provides a User Interface (UI) that includes an analytics view featuring summary tiles. These tiles visualize incidents through charts that differentiate between DLP violations and malware, categorize DLP violations by different DPI engines, and classify malware by threat category. Additionally, the UI presents a table listing incidents, detailing unique data objects, their owners, and associated external collaborators.
Further claims of the patent elaborate on the capabilities of the CASB system, including onboarding multiple SaaS applications and configuring DLP and malware policies through the UI. The system can also generate detailed listings based on user selections, such as owners of publicly shared files or those with unauthorized external collaborators. Visualizations within the UI can include pie charts and line charts that illustrate incident trends over time, providing insights into DLP and malware incidents. Overall, the patent emphasizes a comprehensive approach to security management in SaaS environments, enabling tenants to monitor and respond to security incidents effectively.
