Method for disrupting detected cyberthreats using indicators of compromise
The granted patent US12063231B2 outlines a sophisticated system designed to disrupt detected cyberthreats. Central to this system is a server equipped with a processor and a non-transitory computer-readable medium that stores executable instructions. The system operates by receiving requests that identify suspected malicious content, identifying indicators of compromise (IOCs) linked to that content, and enriching the request with these IOCs. Following this, the system verifies the request and reports the verified information, including the IOCs, to a third-party. This reporting process involves transmitting an initial report and a subsequent report after a predefined time period, which may include additional IOCs identified within that timeframe.
Further functionalities of the system include capturing feedback related to the reporting process, which can involve determining the malicious status of IOCs through various methods such as browser drivers or DNS queries. The system is also capable of performing live scans of the content to ascertain its activity status. Enrichment of the request can involve identifying various attributes associated with the content, such as URLs, social media accounts, and geographical locations. The patent emphasizes the importance of transforming IOCs based on the format required by the associated entity, ensuring effective communication and response to the identified cyberthreats. Overall, the system aims to enhance the detection and disruption of cyber threats through a structured and responsive approach.
