User-specific polygraphs for network activity
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11916947B2) outlines a method for generating user-specific visualizations based on network activity data. The method involves gathering information describing a user's network activity and creating a graph of linked visual representations. These visual representations include destinations accessed by the user, such as Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) applications, private applications, documents, shadow applications, and websites. The visualization also incorporates risk scores for websites based on deviations from normal browsing activity, alerting users to potentially risky behavior.
Furthermore, the patent includes a computer program product stored on a non-transitory computer-readable medium that carries out the steps of gathering network activity information and generating user-specific visualizations. Similar to the method, the computer program product includes features like identifying deviations from normal activity, alerting users to such deviations, and categorizing network activity based on access types and time groupings. This innovative approach aims to provide users with a comprehensive overview of their network activity through visually engaging representations, enhancing their understanding of their online behavior and potential risks associated with certain activities.
