  • Patent number: 11523153
    Abstract: Disclosed are examples for providing functions to receive a media file to be stored in a media repository. In the examples, a location in the media repository may be assigned to the media file. A media file address in a blockchain platform may be assigned to the media file. Metadata including the assigned location in the media repository and the assigned media file address in the blockchain platform may be added to the media file. A media file hash value may be generated by applying a hash function to the media file including the metadata. The media file hash value may be included in a message and uploaded to the assigned media file address in the blockchain platform as a transaction in the blockchain. An indication that the media file is uploaded to the media repository may be delivered to a subscriber device from which the media file was received.

  • Patent number: 11522915
    Abstract: Some embodiments provide a method for defining an adaptable monitoring profile for a network. The defined network monitoring profile is independent of the security policy defined for the network and includes one or more log generation rules, each of which defines a logging policy for a set of data compute nodes (DCNs) that share a common attribute. A log generation rule specifies whether the network activities of a set of DCNs that share a common attribute should be logged or not. A log generation rule can also specify other logging parameters such as priority level of the logs and the required logging protocol for transmission of the logs. The logging policy of a log generation rule is associated with a set of service rules (e.g., firewall rules) through a dynamic service group, and is applied to the service rules when any of these rules is triggered.

  • Patent number: 11496505
    Abstract: Techniques for detecting instances of external fraud by monitoring digital activities that are performed with accounts associated with an enterprise are disclosed. In one example, a threat detection platform determines the likelihood that an incoming email is indicative of external fraud based on the context and content of the incoming email. To understand the risk posed by an incoming email, the threat detection platform may seek to determine not only whether the sender normally communicates with the recipient, but also whether the topic is one normally discussed by the sender and recipient. In this way, the threat detection platform can establish whether the incoming email deviates from past emails exchanged between the sender and recipient.

  • Patent number: 11431475
    Abstract: A system and method for the analysis of log data is presented. The system uses SuperMinHash based locality sensitive hash signatures to describe the similarity between log lines. Signatures are created for incoming log lines and stored in signature indexes. Later similarity queries use those indexes to improve the query performance. The SuperMinHash algorithm uses a two staged approach to determine signature values, one stage uses a first random number to calculate the index of the signature value that is to update. The two staged approach improves the accuracy of the produced similarity estimation data for small sized signatures. The two staged approach may further be used to produce random numbers that are related, e.g. each created random number may be larger than its predecessors. This relation is used to optimize the algorithm by determining and terminating when further created random numbers have no influence on the created signature.

  • Patent number: 11416596
    Abstract: A system and method for authenticating a system user across multiple digital systems using a single biometric key employs a scanning device to preclude the use of passwords and login identifiers when signing into secured digital environments. The scanning device performs a primary biometric scanning operation to obtain a primary multipoint digital image for an anatomical feature of the system user. The primary multipoint digital image is then associated with a system password and username for each of a plurality of secured digital systems. By connecting the scanning device to an external computing device and performing a subsequent biometric scanning operation, the scanning device is able to authenticate the system user and retrieve the system password and username for a specific secured digital system from the plurality of secured digital systems. A data vault is provided to back-up data and restore the scanning device when the system user is authenticated.
