Using an entity behavior profile when performing human-centric risk modeling operations

Filed:2024-01-29Pub:2025-01-28
Applicant:Forcepoint LLC

A system, method, and computer-readable medium for performing a security operation. The security operation includes: monitoring an entity, the monitoring observing at least one electronically-observable data source; identifying a security related activity, the security related activity being of analytic utility; accessing an entity behavior profile based upon the security related activity, the entity behavior profile comprising a collection of information uniquely describing an identity and behavior of the entity; identifying a risk associated with the entity using a human-centric risk modeling framework, the human-centric risk modeling framework enabling quantification of a human-centric factor associated with the entity, the human-centric factor comprising a motivation factor, a stressor factor and an organizational dynamics stressor factor, the human-centric factor having an associated effect on the entity, the motivation factor representing a motivation for enacting an entity behavior, the stressor factor representing an issue influencing the user entity behavior, the organizational stressor factor representing an event occurring within an organization affecting the entity behavior; and, performing a security operation based upon the risk associated with the entity, the security operation using the human-centric risk modeling framework and the entity behavior profile, the security operation being performed by at least one of an endpoint device and a security analytics system, the endpoint device executing the security operation on a hardware processor associated with the endpoint device, the security analytics system executing the security operation on a hardware processor associated with the security analytics system.
