US Patent 11429725 Automated security risk assessment systems and methods

Systems and methods involve a database function of an ATM processor on which rules database records for positive transition flows of ATM hardware or software activities are stored, a security agent function of the ATM processor that extracts data points from a transition flow for every succeeding ATM activity, and an algorithm function of the ATM processor that generates a rules database record for the transition flows for succeeding ATM activity based on the extracted data points and discards any generated rules database record that is identical to a rules database record already stored on the rules database function. A discovery phase of the algorithm function stores new rules database records, rules database function, and a protection phase of the algorithm function selects a risk protocol, when a generated record is not identical to a record already stored.
