  • Patent number: 11838117
    Abstract: A cyber security system includes a plurality of event sensors to detect events, a plurality of inference servers, and a server in communication with the plurality of inference servers. Each inference server of the plurality is in communication with a subset of event sensors of the plurality of event sensors. Each inference server has a portion of an event lattice and is to compare the event detected by the subset of event sensors to the event lattice. Each inference server is to identify an originator having a behavior pattern indicative of an attack and communicating an identifier associated with the originator. The server is to provide an interface indicating the behavior pattern indicative of an attack and the identifier of the originator.

  • Patent number: 10860931
    Abstract: A method of performing predictive analysis includes generating, using a computational device, an instance from an unstructured data source. The method further includes associating a variable entity with the instance. The variable entity is associated with an influencer of a set of influencers or a performance indicator of a set of performance indicators. In another example, the method includes determining, using the computational device, a value of the variable entity from the instance based on a value-detection rule and generating, using the computational device, a model associating the set of influencers with the set of performance indicators using the value of the variable entity.

  • Patent number: 9678487
    Abstract: A method of allocating a fixed resource includes displaying an interface control in a user interface display. The interface control includes at least three continuous value control elements associated with a group including at least three categories. Each continuous value control element is associated with a value associated with a category of the group. The operator of the values associated with the at least three continuous value control elements is equal to a fixed quantity. In response to a first user input, a first continuous value control element is locked to fix the value associated with the first continuous value control element. In response to a second user input, a second continuous value control element is adjusted to change the value associated with the second continuous value control element.
