System and Method for Cloud-Based Operating System Event and Data Access Monitoring

A cloud-based operating-system-event and data-access monitoring system, comprising:

• a) a first processor electrically coupled to a monitored cloud-based element and configured to collect real-time continuous event information from the monitored cloud-based element and to generate one or more structured event payloads based on the collected event information;
• b) a second processor electrically coupled to the first processor, the second processor configured to receive the structured event payloads, to validate the structured event payloads to produce one or more validated event collections, and to filter the validated event collections to remove redundant structured event payloads, de-duplicate the filtered validated event collections to remove duplicate structured event payloads, and to serialize the de-duplicated filtered validated event collections to produce a time-sequenced raw event stream;
• and
• c) a third processor electrically coupled to the second processor and configured to process the time-sequenced raw event stream for real-time signal detection using individual event analysis on the de-duplicated filtered validated event collections to generate processed information security results.
