Analysis of User Email to Detect Use of Internet Services
Abstract:
Techniques for detecting emails that pertain to Internet services are disclosed. Such emails can be recognized by heuristic pattern analysis that scans incoming emails for patterns known to pertain to certain Internet services. Emails relating to other Internet services can be detected by a machine learning classifier that uses labeled training data. These accesses to Internet services can be written to a data store. By employing these techniques across all emails of an entity, insight may be gained into the aggregate nature of Internet services being used. A policy engine may act on an individual email to request further information or action, quarantine the email, or to pass the email to other security tools. An aggregate account analysis engine can update the data store to provide a broad picture of Internet service usage within the organization (e.g., by department).
