  • Patent number: 11989294
    Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure relate to detecting and preventing malicious browser extensions. A computing platform may send rule information to a master browser extension on a computing device including a set of rules defining reportable behavior associated with one or more other browser extensions. Subsequently, the computing platform may receive report information from the master browser extension on the computing device identifying an other browser extension of the one or more other browser extensions that exhibit the reportable behavior defined by at least one rule of the set of rules in the rule information. Based on receiving the report information, the computing platform may determine that the identified other browser extension is a malicious extension. Then, the computing platform may send one or more commands to the master browser extension on the computing device directing the master browser extension to disable or remove the identified other browser extension.

  • Patent number: 11991172
    Abstract: A double anti-phish, personalized, security token for use with electronic communications is provided. The security token may be embedded in each electronic communication transmitted from an entity to a recipient. A first part of the token may be embedded in a body of the communication. A second part of the token may be embedded in a header of the communication. The second part of the security token may validate that the electronic communication is indeed from the entity. Upon validation, the second part may instruct the first part to display a validation symbol. Upon failure to validate, the second part may instruct the first part to display an alert symbol. The recipient receiving the electronic communication may use the first part of the validation symbol as a visual aid to determine a level of confidence of whether the electronic communication has been validated as being transmitted by the entity.

  • Patent number: 11989276
    Abstract: Security measures are provided for resource exchange events occurring within a virtual environment, such as metaverse or the like. Intelligent resource exchange event authentication is realized by leveraging Artificial Intelligence (AI) and, more specifically, Machine Learning (ML) techniques to identify user behavioral patterns associated with previous resource exchange events conducted within the virtual environment and, in some instances, non-virtual environment. Current resource exchange event characteristics are compared to the user behavior patterns to ensure that the resource exchange event is authentic/legitimate. Additionally, intelligent user authentication occurs by leveraging the use of a Non-Fungible Token (NFT) that is presented by the user at the onset of the resource exchange event and is verified within a distributed trust computing network.

  • Patent number: 11989115
    Abstract: This application describes apparatus and methods for an agent-side simulator for testing chatbot systems. The agent-side simulator may be configured to mimic behavior of a human agent in a chatbot testing environment. The agent-side simulator may throttle the amount of data and the frequency of speed at which the data is processed by components of the chatbot system. The agent-side simulator may test how much data that can be processed by a chatbot system and the speed which a target volume of data can be processed by the chatbot system. The agent-side simulator may build an agent profiles for different chat conversations. A first agent profile may be used to simulate conversations that require slower response times. A second agent profile may be used to simulate conversations that require faster response times. The agent-side simulator may not perform chat session handling to minimize computing resources consumed by the agent-side simulator.

  • Patent number: 11991188
    Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure relate to cognitive auditing of client bound data. A computing platform may intercept a request from a user device to an application server. The computing platform may identify content requested by the user device and generate predicted response data based on the requested content. The computing platform may transmit the request to the application server. The computing platform may receive, from the application server, actual response data. The computing platform may validate the actual response data by comparing the actual response data with the predicted response data. Based on comparing the actual response data with the predicted response data, the computing platform may identify whether the actual response data matches the predicted response data. Based on identifying that the actual response data matches the predicted response data, the computing platform may send the actual response data to the user device.
