Method for preventing malicious behavior on an endpoint
The granted patent US12045152B2 outlines a method and system designed to prevent malicious behavior on endpoints, such as personal computers, servers, network devices, and Internet-of-Things devices. The method involves real-time monitoring of a stream of events associated with the endpoint, processing these events to create a memory set, and determining if any events meet specific rules. If an event satisfies a rule, it is recorded, and if a sequence of events is identified, corresponding actions are executed to mitigate potential threats. The actions may include shutting down processes, deleting files, issuing alerts, or generating reports based on the recorded events.
Additionally, the patent details various enhancements to the method, such as enriching events with process-related information before processing, extracting fields from events and rules to determine appropriate actions, and managing memory allocation for recorded events. The system is designed to handle memory efficiently by removing older events when certain thresholds are exceeded, ensuring that the monitoring process remains effective without overwhelming system resources. Overall, the patent presents a comprehensive approach to real-time event monitoring and response for endpoint security.
