  • Patent number: 11847215
    Abstract: A method for halting malware includes: monitoring plural file system events with a system driver to detect an occurrence of a file system event having a predetermined file type and log event type; triggering a listening engine for file system event stream data of a file associated with the detection of the file system event, the file system event stream data indicating data manipulation associated with the file due to execution of a process; obtaining one or more feature values for each of plural different feature combinations of plural features of the file based on the file system event stream data; inputting one or more feature values into a data analytics model to predict a target label value based on the one or more feature values of the plural different feature combinations and agnostic to the process; and performing a predetermined operation based on the target label value.

  • Patent number: 11848965
    Abstract: Methods and apparatus for secure software defined storage are disclosed. An example apparatus includes memory and a processor to access a read request for data written to a software defined storage location, obtain the requested data from the software defined storage location, perform a classification operation on the requested data to obtain classification data corresponding to the requested data, the classification data to represent whether the requested data includes personally identifiable information, in response to determining that the requested data includes personally identifiable information, apply data loss prevention to the requested data to create response data, determine whether a client requesting the data from the software defined storage location is authorized to access the requested data, and in response to determining that the client requesting data is authorized to access the requested data, transmit the response data to the client.
