  • Publication number: 20240062174
    Abstract: At least one computer-readable medium on which are stored instructions that, when executed by one or more processing devices, enable the one or more processing devices to perform a method. The method includes the steps of receiving over a network a request from an employing entity to facilitate an automatic savings program including savings accounts for employees of the employing entity, receiving over the network a request from an employee to participate in the automatic savings program, automatically routing at predetermined time intervals an employee-selected amount of the employee's wages to a savings account of the employee, receiving at least one request over the network from the employee to transfer funds from the savings account of the employee to an employee-designated destination, and initiating the requested fund transfer.

  • Patent number: 11716623
    Abstract: A System and Method is provided that enable identifying cyber security attacks using observation and monitoring of end point activity. By following and monitoring the wireless connection related activities of endpoint devices as they cycle through various steps leading to establishing a connection to the secure network, a knowledge base is established in the cloud by analysis of the actions, and communication to build the confidence that the users of the network are where they should be. In one embodiment, no access is provided until a user presents valid credentials. Based on these credentials the network then builds a specific path based on access controls, tunnels or other techniques to control the user’s communication and access to specific targets within the network.

  • Patent number: 11675650
    Abstract: A fault tolerant consensus generation and communication system and method is described. Each processing node in the system receives a plurality of measurements from a sensor, calculates a consolidated value for the received plurality of measurements, transmits the consolidated value to other processing nodes, receives consolidated values from the other processing nodes, calculates a consensus value based on the calculated consolidated value and the received one or more consolidated values, transmits the calculated consensus value to the other processing nodes, receives consensus values from the other processing nodes, generates a consensus message based on the calculated consensus value, the received one or more consensus values, and a predefined criterion, and, in a case where the consensus message is not present in a consensus queue, adds the consensus message to the consensus queue.

  • Patent number: 11337067
    Abstract: Security is provided for enterprise local area networks (LANs) by pre-vetting and identifying the security characteristic and actions of any new wireless networks that tries to connect to a secure LAN network. The disclosure herein provides for identification and classification of IEEE 802.11 wireless networks by using monitoring sensor system within and managed by a centralized cloud. The monitoring sensors interrogate the network mimicking the behavior of known platforms, such as an end-user's workstation or mobile device followed by random actions simulating a human person. The response characteristics of the wireless network including the behavior patterns relating to the LAN system and human behavior are collected.

  • Patent number: 10997366
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method of generating an augmented electronic text document comprises establishing a directed multigraph where each vertex is associated with a separate language and is connected to at least one other one of the vertices by an oriented edge indicative of a machine translation engine's ability to translate between languages associated with the vertices connected by the oriented edge with acceptable performance. The directed multigraph is then traversed starting at a predetermined origin vertex associated with an original language of the original electronic text document by randomly selecting an adjacent vertex pointed to by an oriented edge connected to the predetermined origin vertex and causing a machine translation engine to translate the original electronic text document from the original language to a language associated with the selected vertex.

  • Patent number: 10708303
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method may comprise receiving an electronic message (such as a legitimate email or malicious phishing email, for example) over a computer network, the electronic message containing a uniform resource locator (URL). The URL in the received electronic message may be parsed and one or more original parameter may be identified therein. The type of the identified original parameter(s) may be determined. The identified original parameter(s) may then be transformed according to a parameter transformation rules, selected according to the determined type. to generate transformed parameter(s). The URL may then be reassembled by substituting the transformed parameter(s) for the original parameter(s). The website pointed to by the reassembled URL may then be accessed, over the computer network, using the transformed parameter(s) only if the reassembled URL meets a predetermined minimum criterion.
