Application: Providing identity protection (Patent ID: US20240154986A1)
The patent filed by Palo Alto Networks Inc. describes techniques for providing identity protection by monitoring various sites, extracting user information to create a profile, analyzing the profile for security vulnerabilities related to social engineering attacks on enterprise resources, and taking action based on a predefined policy. The system can identify relationships between the user profile and enterprise resources, detect similarities to known security vulnerabilities, and determine the existence of security vulnerabilities. Actions in response to detected vulnerabilities may include generating alerts, reports, emails, removing user information from the internet, making social media sites private, or adding multifactor authentication to enterprise resources.
Furthermore, the system is capable of identifying new social media resource attacks or social engineering type attacks, updating the model accordingly, and ensuring the protection of user identities. The method and computer program product based on the patent involve similar steps of monitoring sites, extracting user information, analyzing profiles for security vulnerabilities, and taking appropriate actions based on policies. These actions can include generating alerts, reports, emails, removing user information from the internet, making social media sites private, or adding multifactor authentication to enterprise resources. The system is designed to continuously adapt to new threats by identifying and updating the model based on emerging social media resource attacks or social engineering type attacks, thereby enhancing identity protection measures.
