Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure relate to computer system security. A machine accesses a set of records corresponding to a set of users having access to a computer system. The machine stores, for each user in the set of users, a baseline profile representing baseline activity of the user with respect to a set of data sources of the computer system. The machine monitors activity of the set of users with respect to the set of data sources. The machine determines, based on monitoring the activity of the set of users, that a user action of a specified user, with respect to one or more data sources from the set of data sources, is anomalous relative to the baseline profile of the specified user. The machine provides a digital transmission representing the anomalous user action.

Abstract: Systems and methods for rating of signature patterns are provided. According to one embodiment, a frequency of occurrence is determined by a network security system of each of multiple patterns within a pattern database containing a set of candidate patterns from which a set of patterns or sub-patterns thereof will be selected for inclusion within a pre-match list. For each pattern, the network security device determines whether a length of the pattern exceeds a pre-defined length; and, if so, cuts the pattern to generate multiple sub-patterns having the pre-defined length. A rating for each pattern or, as the case may be, each sub-pattern is then determined by the network device based on any or a combination of the frequency of occurrence of the pattern within the pattern database, the length of the pattern or the sub-pattern and a measure of redundancy within the pattern or sub-pattern.

Abstract: A method of identifying invalid participants in a synchronization group. The method generates a device synchronization group identifier (DSGI) for a first device from a device-specific key of the first device. The method joins the first device in the synchronization group by using the DSGI of the first device. Prior to the joining of the first device, the synchronization group stores a set of DSGIs of a set of devices that have joined the synchronization group. The method determines that a particular DSGI stored in the synchronization group is the same as the DSGI of the first device. The method identifies the particular DSGI stored in the synchronization group as a DSGI of an invalid participant of the synchronization group.
