  • Patent number: 11949692
    Abstract: A comprehensive cybersecurity platform includes a cybersecurity intelligence hub, a cybersecurity sensor and one or more endpoints communicatively coupled to the cybersecurity sensor, where the platform allows for efficient scaling, analysis, and detection of malware and/or malicious activity. An endpoint includes a local data store and an agent that monitors for one or more types of events being performed on the endpoint, and performs deduplication within the local data store to identify “distinct” events. The agent provides the collected metadata of distinct events to the cybersecurity sensor which also performs deduplication within a local data store. The cybersecurity sensor sends all distinct events and/or file objects to a cybersecurity intelligence hub for analysis. The cybersecurity intelligence hub is coupled to a data management and analytics engine (DMAE) that analyzes the event and/or object using multiple services to render a verdict (e.g., benign or malicious) and issues an alert.

  • Patent number: 11928245
    Abstract: A compromised data exchange system extracts data from websites using a crawler, detects portions within the extracted data that resemble personally identifying information (PII) data based on PII data patterns using a risk assessment module, and compares a detected portion to data within a database of disassociated compromised PII data to determine a match using the risk assessment module. A risk score may be assigned to a data item within the database in response to determining the match. In some embodiments, URL data may also be detected in the extracted data. The detected URL data represents further websites that can be automatically crawled by the system to detect further PII data.

  • Patent number: 11928204
    Abstract: A TEE system that includes a first platform that runs a first TEE, a second platform that runs a second TEE, and a merging unit that is adapted to merge a first output from the first TEE of the first platform, with a second output from the second TEE of the second platform, so as to form an output of the TEE system. The first TEE and the second TEE are based on different implementations. In this way, the security of the system is improved, as a malicious actor even be able to access “t” machines, still would not be able to retrieve the secret unless there are multiple exploitable TEE vulnerabilities on all executing TEE platforms at the same time.

  • Patent number: 11846746
    Abstract: In a transportation security technique, images are stored that are received from image capturing equipment deployed at respective screening nodes. The images are analyzed using a machine learning model, where presence of a particular object in an image indicates that a threat condition exists at the screening node. The analyzed images are transmitted to threat assessment components in accordance with predetermined criteria. An indication that the particular object is observed in the image is received from the threat assessment components. An indication that the particular object is observed in the image is transmitted to the screening node responsive to receiving the indication that the particular object is observed in the image. An indication of whether the particular object is present at the screening node is received. The machine learning model is trained based on the received indication of whether the particular object is observed in the image.

  • Patent number: 11842533
    Abstract: The disclosed techniques in artificial intelligence include at least a system and a computer-implemented method for performing a predictive search that compensates for a misclassification. For example, the system can set a user-defined classification of a physical characteristic of the user and retrieve an image captured by a camera device. The system can aggregate binary feedback data submitted by authorized users about the image, predict a classification for the physical characteristic by processing the image with a machine learning (ML) process, and search a database based on a query, which has criteria that includes an indication of the aggregate binary feedback data, the user-defined classification, the predicted classification, and/or data indicative of the user's feedback. The system can then identify a search result that satisfies the query and cause a user device to display a recommendation that includes the search result.
