SYSTEM FOR AUTOMATED ELECTRONIC DATA EXFILTRATION PATH IDENTIFICATION, PRIORITIZATION, AND REMEDIATION

Abstract:

A system for identifying and remediating data exfiltration paths is provided. In particular, the system may generate a map of the network environment which identifies all of the possible pathways and the steps of such pathways through which sensitive data may be exfiltrated. The system may then evaluate the potential impact associated with each exfiltration pathway and generate a prioritization scheme which may sort the pathways by their potential impacts. Based on the prioritization scheme, the system may, via a machine learning engine, provide one or more remediation processes that may be executed to reduce the chance of data exfiltration through certain potentially high-impact pathways.
