  • Publication number: 20240020222
    Abstract: A homomorphic encryption-based testing computing system provides a risk-based, automated, one-directional push of production data through a homomorphic encryption tool and distributes the encrypted data to use in testing of applications. Data elements and test requirements are considered when automatically selecting a homomorphic encryption algorithm. A decisioning component selects an algorithm to use to homomorphically encrypt the data set and a push mechanism performs one or both of the homomorphic encryption and distribution of the encrypted data set to at least one intended host. Once delivered, the testing software and/or testing procedures proceed using the encrypted data set, where results of the testing may be stored in a data store. A validation mechanism may validate the test data against production data and communicates whether testing was successful.

  • Publication number: 20230403270
    Abstract: An apparatus for dynamic user authentication comprises a processor associated with a server. The processor is configured to receive session data associated with a first user, wherein the session data comprises user parameters for a session and to receive an interaction request to authorize an interaction of a first avatar associated with the first user in a virtual environment. The processor is further configured to compare the user parameters of the session data to user parameters of a stored user profile and to authorize the interaction in response to comparing the session data to the stored user profile if a confidence threshold is satisfied. The processor is further configured to train the machine learning algorithm with the received session data to update the user profile, wherein updating the user profile improves information security by authenticating that the first user is authorized to interact via the first avatar.

  • Publication number: 20230344874
    Abstract: A system is provided for securing electronic devices and electronic data using automated dynamic control modifications. In particular, the system may comprise one or more electronic devices or computing devices, each of which may have a protection module installed thereon, where the security module may be configured by the system. The security module may define a time period within which the computing device must establish an authenticated connection to an authorized and/or trusted network. If the time period elapses without an authenticated connection and/or upon the occurrence of certain predetermined conditions, the security module may perform a secure wipe of the data on the computing device. In this way, the system may provide a way to secure electronic devices and data within the network environment.

  • Publication number: 20230344822
    Abstract: A system is provided for secured electronic data access through machine-learning based analysis of combined access authorizations. In particular, the system may maintain an access provisioning database which stores data regarding the data access authorizations that have been granted to one or more third party computing systems or entities. The system may further continuously monitor and aggregate electronic data from one or more electronic data streams and analyze the electronic data to intelligently generate probabilities for future events that create certain combinations of access authorizations that affect the security of the electronic data to which the third party computing systems have authorized access. In this way, the system may provide an effective way to manage access authorizations.

  • Patent number: 11792211
    Abstract: A system is provided for detecting and remediating computing system breaches using computing network traffic monitoring. In particular, the system may identify one or more computing systems within a network as well as relationships between such computing systems to determine a network topology. Based on the network topology, the system may use historical network traffic data associated with the computing systems in the network to generate predicted entry points and lateral pathways of a security breach that may take place within particular computing systems. Then, based on the computing systems affected as well as entry points and path traversals of the breach, the system may generate and/or implement one or more remediation steps to address existing and/or future breaches. In this way, the system may provide an intelligent method of augmenting the security of a computing network.

  • Patent number: 11784819
    Abstract: Dynamic segmentation of network traffic through the use of Pre-Shared Keys (PSKs). Each defined network segment uses a different pre-shared key and a message authentication code (MAC)-signing algorithm to sign data packets with segment-specific MACs. As such, only those computer hosts/nodes that are in the network segment (i.e., have been assigned the same pre-shared key for generating and decoding the MAC signed data packets) are capable or reading the segment's network traffic. By implementing segment-specific MAC signed data packets, the present invention allows for confidential data transmission absent the need to encrypt the actual contents/data being transmitted.
