Patent ID: 11943245

Abstract:
Systems, devices, and methods of protecting electronic or Internet-connected devices against fraudulent and malicious activities. A Data Collector and Mediator Unit monitors network traffic, and generates datasets of network traffic; each dataset includes network traffic monitored within a time-slot having a particular fixed time-length. A Predictor Unit includes a Features Extractor, to extract features from the datasets; and a Machine Learning (ML) unit, to run the extracted features through a ML model and to classify a particular traffic-portion as being either (I) an anomalous traffic-portion that is associated with fraudulent or malicious activity, or (II) a non-anomalous traffic-portion that is not-associated with fraudulent or malicious activity. The ML unit operates on both (i) anomalies in traffic patterns, and (ii) anomalies of user behavior and/or device behavior. A fraud and malicious activity mitigation unit activates mitigation operations for traffic-portions that were classified anomalous traffic-portions associated with fraudulent or malicious activity.
