Method and system for providing fractionalized access to cybersecurity intelligence content or cybersecurity service

A method performed by a computing system, the method comprising:

• outputting a plurality of content access options for selection by a user or group of users of a cybersecurity analysis platform being provided by the computing system, wherein the plurality of content access options are associated with different amounts of content access to a cybersecurity intelligence content source;
• receiving, from at least one of one or more devices operated by the user or the group of users, a selection of one of the plurality of content access options;
• updating, based on the selection, a profile associated with the user or group of users to indicate an amount of content access allocated to the user or group of users for accessing the cybersecurity intelligence content source;
• receiving, subsequent to the selection of one of the plurality of content access options, a content request for cybersecurity intelligence content in the cybersecurity intelligence content source, wherein the content request is received from at least one of the one or more devices operated by the user or group of users;
• determining, in response to the content request, whether the amount of content access allocated to the user or group of users for the cybersecurity intelligence content source has been completely depleted;
• in response to a determination that the amount of content access allocated to the user or group of users for the cybersecurity intelligence content has not been completed depleted:
• retrieving, from the cybersecurity intelligence content source, the cybersecurity intelligence content associated with the content request;
• and
• outputting, to at least one of the one or more devices operated by the user or the group of users, the retrieved cybersecurity intelligence content.

A computing system for providing a cybersecurity analysis platform, the computing system comprising:

• at least one processing circuit;
• a non-transitory computer-readable medium having instructions thereon that, when executed by the at least one processing circuit, causes the at least one processing circuit to:
• output a plurality of content access options for selection by a user or group of users of the cybersecurity analysis platform, wherein the plurality of content access options are associated with at least one of:
• (i) different amounts of content access to a cybersecurity intelligence content source, (ii) different tiers of content access to the cybersecurity intelligence content source, or (iii) different types of cybersecurity intelligence content that the user or group of users is able to access from the cybersecurity intelligence content source, or (iv) different time periods in which the user or group of users is able to access the cybersecurity intelligence content source;
• receive, from at least one of one or more devices operated by the user or the group of users, a selection of one of the content access options;
• update, based on the selection, a content access policy in a profile associated with the user or group of users, wherein the content access policy is associated with the user or group of users and indicates at least one of:
• (i) an amount of content access allocated to the user or group of users for accessing the cybersecurity intelligence content source, (ii) a tier of content access allocated to the user or group of users for accessing the cybersecurity intelligence content source, (iii) a type of cybersecurity intelligence content that the user or group of users is able to access from the cybersecurity intelligence content source, or (iv) a time period in which the user or group of users is able to access the cybersecurity intelligence content;
• receive, subsequent to the selection of one of the content access options, a content request for cybersecurity intelligence content in the cybersecurity intelligence content source, wherein the request is received from at least one of the one or more devices operated by the user or group of users;
• determine, in response to the content request, whether accessing the cybersecurity intelligence content source would cause content source usage associated with the user or group of users to exceed the content access policy associated with the user or group of users;
• in response to a determination that accessing the cybersecurity intelligence content source does not cause the content source usage to exceed the content access policy:
• retrieve, from the cybersecurity intelligence content source, the cybersecurity intelligence content associated with the content request;
• and
• output, to at least one of the one or more devices operated by the user or the group of users, the retrieved cybersecurity intelligence content.
