Unified cyberthreat intelligence searching system and methods
The granted patent US12008112B2 outlines a sophisticated system for unified cyberthreat intelligence searching, designed to enhance the efficiency of threat analysis and investigation. Central to this system is a data lake that comprises multiple search clusters, each providing access to distinct databases. The first search cluster focuses on curated threat intelligence, while the second cluster accesses raw conversation data from various communication channels, including Telegram, Discord, and the Dark Web. Analysts can interact with the system through a graphical user interface, allowing them to input data, modify intelligence reports, and transmit curated threat reports back to the first search cluster. The server component of the system processes queries from client endpoints, parsing them for keywords and generating tailored search requests for each cluster, ultimately producing intelligence cards that summarize the findings.
Additionally, the system includes provisions for filtering search results and accessing a range of data types, such as compromised credentials and indicators of compromise, which may include IP addresses and malware hashes. The architecture is designed to facilitate seamless communication between the analyst devices and the server, ensuring that the generated intelligence cards can be displayed and selected for further investigation. The patent also specifies that the search clusters can be implemented using Elasticsearch technology, enhancing the system's capability to handle large volumes of data efficiently. Overall, this patent presents a comprehensive framework for improving cyberthreat intelligence operations, enabling analysts to conduct thorough investigations based on curated and raw data sources.
