  • Patent number: 11968185
    Abstract: Technologies for on-device experimentation include embodiments that receive a request to provide digital content for display in a slot of a user interface display screen of a first device. By a secure execution environment, an identifier received with the request is anonymized. The request is determined to be associated with a content distribution test. The anonymized identifier is assigned to a test group associated with the content distribution test. The secure execution environment receives user interface event data generated by the first device in response to the content distribution test. The received user interface event data is attributed to the test group. An association of the user interface event data with the test group and the content distribution test is provided by the secure execution environment to a second device different than the first device while the identifier and the anonymized identifier are not provided to the second device.

  • Patent number: 11949707
    Abstract: Isolating suspicious email links is described. An email security service receives an email that includes a link that refers to an external resource. A first suspicious link determination is performed to determine whether the link is suspicious. If the link is suspicious, the link is rewritten to refer to the email security and the email is delivered to the recipient. A request from a client device is received responsive to the link being opened. A second suspicious link determination is performed to determine whether the link is suspicious. If the link is suspicious, an interstitial page is transmitted to the client device that includes an option that, when selected, causes the first link to be opened in a remote browser isolation session.

  • Patent number: 11928207
    Abstract: Techniques are described herein that are capable of performing automatic graph-based detection of potential security threats. A Bayesian network is initialized using an association graph to establish connections among network nodes in the Bayesian network. The network nodes are grouped among clusters that correspond to respective intents. Patterns in the Bayesian network are identified. At least one redundant connection, which is redundant with regard to one or more other connections, is removed from the patterns. Scores are assigned to the respective patterns in the Bayesian network, based on knowledge of historical patterns and historical security threats, such that each score indicates a likelihood of the respective pattern to indicate a security threat. An output graph is automatically generated. The output graph includes each pattern that has a score that is greater than or equal to a score threshold. Each pattern in the output graph represents a potential security threat.

  • Patent number: 11924238
    Abstract: A cyber-defense appliance securely communicates and cooperates with a suite of different lightweight probes that can ingest onboard traffic from multiple different independent systems using protocols for at least one of a data link layer, a physical layer, and then one or more of an application layer, a transport layer, a network layer, and any combination of these layers when a protocol is used in that layer in the independent system. The lightweight probe ingests data and meta data with an independent system it resides within. The appliance has AI models to model a normal pattern of life in each of the independent systems using the data and/or meta data from protocols listed above. An analyzer module cooperates with the AI models that model a normal pattern of life in each of the independent systems to determine when abnormal behavior or suspicious activity is detected.
