Uber Objects for Unified Compute Environment Management

The patent merges data from multiple independent security solutions into a single unified security graph. Different security tools (endpoint detection, network security, cloud security) contribute their findings to a common graph structure where entities and relationships are standardized. This consolidation allows the system to maintain comprehensive detection coverage while presenting a unified view that reduces duplicate alerts and eliminates redundancy.

The security graph serves as a universal data model that can ingest and represent information from various security sources with different schemas and formats. The graph structure provides a common language and standardized entity types that work across all security solutions, enabling multi-source integration while maintaining the ability to handle diverse input formats and detection methodologies.

The security graph acts as an intermediary layer between multiple independent security systems and the compute environment. Each security tool continues to operate autonomously and interact with the environment in its own way, but all data flows through the graph which standardizes and unifies the representation. The graph mediates between diverse independent systems and provides a consolidated view without restricting system autonomy.

The patent segments the complex multi-system environment into discrete graph entities (nodes and edges) that represent specific security-relevant elements. By breaking down the environment into manageable graph components such as hosts, processes, networks, and security events, the system maintains the independence of each security tool while organizing their collective view into a structured unified representation.
