The granted patent US12003531B2 outlines a method and system for detecting cyber-attacks by utilizing a quantile-based approach to analyze traffic directed at a protected entity. The method involves identifying at least one "hit quantile" from a set of quantiles, each characterized by a probability distribution of specific features within a data stream. When a hit quantile is identified, the probability estimates for the quantiles are updated. If the probability estimate for the hit quantile exceeds a predetermined threshold, the system initiates actions to mitigate the potential cyber-attack. The quantiles are defined based on features such as Internet Protocol (IP) addresses and bandwidth attributes, ensuring that the data stream is effectively monitored for anomalies.

Additionally, the patent describes mechanisms for updating probability estimates, characterizing potential attackers, and adjusting quantile edges during non-attack periods. The system is designed to maintain a historical probability buffer and can generate a list of suspected IP addresses contributing to increased bandwidth during an attack. By setting thresholds based on detectable attack intensity factors, the system enhances its ability to respond to cyber threats in real-time. Overall, this patent presents a structured approach to cyber-attack detection, leveraging statistical methods to improve the security of networked systems.
