US Patent 11630901 External trigger induced behavioral analyses

A mechanism is provided for using triggered stimuli to enhance contextual information regarding detected risk events in a networked system. Embodiments monitor a system to identify risk-associated behavior, and upon detecting such behavior, can provide stimulus to a user associated with the risk-associated behavior to determine additional context behind the behavior, thereby initiating a two-way communication to acquire more information. If user response to the stimulus indicates a high risk associated with the behavior, then the system can trigger security measures to restrict the behavior. Some embodiments provide stimuli that are directly related to the nature of the risk-associated behavior, in order to better contextualize the behavior. In some embodiments, the stimuli are only applied if the risk-associated behavior presents a measure of risk above a predetermined threshold.
