Patent number: 11252198Abstract: Technologies for providing policy-based secure containers for multiple enterprise applications include a client computing device and an enterprise policy server. The client computing device sends device attribute information and a request for access to an enterprise application to the enterprise policy server. The enterprise policy server determines a device trust level based on the device attribute information and a data sensitivity level based on the enterprise application, and sends a security policy to the client computing device based on the device trust level and the data sensitivity level. The client computing device references or creates a secure container for the security policy, adds the enterprise application to the secure container, and enforces the security policy while executing the enterprise application in the secure container. Multiple enterprise applications may be added to each secure container. Other embodiments are described and claimed.Type: GrantFiled: September 11, 2019Date of Patent: February 15, 2022Assignee: INTEL CORPORATIONInventors: Tarun Viswanathan, Uri Kahana, Alan Ross, Eran Birk

Publication number: 20210342441Abstract: A system, method, and computer-readable medium are disclosed for detecting malicious entity behavior and providing accurate indicator of behaviors indicating occurrence of malicious behavior. Data input as to the entity behavior is received and monitored from different sources. The entity behavior is monitored over time at time periods. Detection probability is determined at each time period, where the detection probability relates to malicious behavior and increases over time. A trigger indicator of behavior is provided if the detection probability reaches a threshold value.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 1, 2020Publication date: November 4, 2021Inventors: Alan Ross, Tobias Johnathon Ryan
