Abstract: The disclosure is directed towards systems and methods for improving security in a computer network. The system can include a planner and a plurality of controllers. The controllers can be deployed within each zone of the production network. Each controller can be configured to assume the role of an attacker or a target for malicious network traffic. Simulations of malicious behavior can be performed by the controllers within the production network, and can therefore account for the complexities of the production network, such as stateful connections through switches, routers, and other intermediary devices. In some implementations, the planner can analyze data received from the controllers to provide a holistic analysis of the overall security posture of the production network.

Abstract: A process identifier transition monitor captures and assesses activities associated with a microprocessor or a microcontroller. Monitoring and assessment is performed by detection of process identifier transitions, which may be driven by an occurrence of one or more activities, such as execution of application software, system hardware mechanisms, or processor-internal mechanisms. Process identifier transitions are assessed to determine whether such transitions were expected. If a detected process identifier transition was not expected, then a system alert may be transmitted or some other appropriate response taken within the system.

Abstract: The data management device includes a determination unit that determines whether the secondary data generated from the source data to be processed complies with the data handling rules that use statistical information and a data processing unit that performs the processing a determination result by the determination unit. The determination unit estimates the statistical information from the source data to be processed, and determines whether the data handling rule is complied with, prior to the generation of the secondary data, based on whether the secondary data generated based on the estimated statistical information satisfies the statistical values of the statistical information. The data processing unit executes processing when it is determined that the data handling rules are complied with to generate secondary data and does not perform the processing process when it is determined that the data handling rules are not complied with.

Abstract: A system configured for implementing continuous authentication for a software application is disclosed. The system receives a request from a user to login to an account of the user on the software application. The software application uses open authentication to allow the user to login to the account of the user. Once the user is logged in, the system activates continuous authentication based on monitored user behavior information associated with the user received from one or more organizations. The system monitors accessing the account of the user by monitoring behaviors of a person accessing the account of the user. The system determines whether the behaviors of that person correspond to the monitored user behavior information of the user. If the behaviors of that person correspond to the monitored user behavior information of the user, the system grants the first person to the account of the first user.

Abstract: A method described herein involves various operations directed toward network security. The operations include accessing transaction data describing network traffic associated with a web server during an interval. Based on a count of new transactions involving an online entity during the interval according to the transaction data, a short-term trend is determined for the online entity. The operations further include applying exponential smoothing to a history of transactions of the online entity to compute a long-term trend for the online entity. Based on a comparison between the short-term trend and the long-term trend for the online entity, an anomaly is detected with respect to the online entity in the network traffic associated with the web server. Responsive to detecting the anomaly, an access control is implemented between the online entity and the web server.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for intelligently accessing media content based on rights. This may be accomplished by a media guidance application that generates a DRM score associated with a first copy of the media asset. The media guidance application determines that plurality of alternative copies of a media asset are available from other sources and determines DRM scores for the alternative copies. The media guidance application determines that one of the alternative copies has a lower digital rights management score as compared to the first copy of the media asset and stores the alternative copy instead of the first copy of the media asset.
