Classification: CPC H  G | IPC G  H

Claim 8:
9. A system comprising:
a computing device sending and receiving communications via a network;
a local host computing device comprising:
a processor; and
memory storing instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the local host computing device to:
monitor, in real time by a lateral movement identification tool, network communications associated with the local host computing device;
identify, by the lateral movement identification tool, a communication between the local host computing device and the computing device;
determine, by an artificial intelligence engine and based on an indication of a risk factor associated with the communication, a risk score corresponding to a probability that the communication corresponds to an unauthorized lateral movement event on the network; and
trigger, based on the risk score, an alert identifying the probability that the communication between the local host computing device and the computing device corresponds to the unauthorized lateral movement event on the network.
