Abstract
A method for disrupting a detected cyberthreat can include receiving a request, the request identifying suspected malicious content; identifying one or more indicators of compromise (IOCs) associated with the content; enriching the request with the IOCs; verifying the request; and reporting the verified request and the one or more IOCs to a disruption network.
Claims18
A method for disrupting a detected cyberthreat comprising:
- receiving a request, the request identifying suspected malicious content;
- identifying one or more indicators of compromise (IOCs) associated with the content;
- enriching the request with the IOCs;
- transmitting the request and the one or more IOCs to an analyst device;
- receiving a verification indication from the analyst device;
- and
- reporting the verified request and the one or more IOCs to a disruption network, wherein reporting the verified request and the one or more IOCs to the disruption network comprises providing access to one or more members of the disruption network to pull the request and the one or more IOCs via an application programming interface (API).
A non-transitory computer-readable medium having instructions stored thereon for execution by a server to implement a method for disrupting a detected cyberthreat, the method comprising the steps of:
- receiving a request, the request identifying suspected malicious content;
- identifying one or more indicators of compromise (IOCs) associated with the content;
- enriching the request with the IOCs;
- transmitting the request and the one or more IOCs to an analyst device;
- receiving a verification indication from the analyst device;
- and
- reporting the verified request and the one or more IOCs to a third-party, wherein reporting the verified request and the one or more IOCs to the third-party comprises:
- identifying an entity associated with the request:
- identifying a format associated with the entity;
- transforming the one or more IOCs based on the format;
- and
- transmitting the transformed one or more IOCs and the request to the entity.
A system for disrupting a detected cyberthreat, the system comprising a server, the server comprising a processor and a non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to perform a method operable to:
- receive a request, the request identifying suspected malicious content;
- identify one or more indicators of compromise (IOCs) associated with the content;
- enrich the request with the IOCs;
- verify the request;
- and
- report the verified request and the one or more IOCs to a third-party, wherein reporting the verified request and the one or more IOCs to the third-party comprises:
- transmitting a first report to the third-party, the first report comprising the verified request and the one or more IOCs;
- obtaining one or more additional IOCs in a subsequent 24-hour time period;
- and
- transmitting a second report to the third-party, the second report comprising the verified request, the one or more IOCs, and the one or more additional IOCs.
