Classification: CPC H  G | IPC G  H

Claim 9:
10. A computer-implemented method for accelerating a threat mitigation of malicious activity via a cybersecurity service, the computer-implemented method comprising:
identifying, via one or more processors, a security event associated with a target entity;
generating, via the one or more processors, a proposed remediation action for the security event based on the identifying of the security event, wherein:
the proposed remediation action includes (i) a remediation action type and (ii) a suspected compromised digital asset associated with the security event;
the remediation action type of the proposed remediation action relates to disabling or modifying a target cloud access key; and
the suspected compromised digital asset of the proposed remediation action includes a compromised cloud access key of the target entity;

automatically assessing, via the one or more processors, the proposed remediation action against automated remediation criteria of the target entity based on the generation of the proposed remediation action;
automatically constructing, via the one or more processors, a remediation action application programming interface (API) request for the proposed remediation action based on the proposed remediation action satisfying the automated remediation criteria of the target entity, wherein automatically constructing the remediation action API request includes encoding a payload component of the remediation action API request to include the compromised cloud access key of the target entity; and
automatically executing, via the one or more processors, the remediation action API request to remediate a suspected cybersecurity threat associated with the security event.
