  • Publication number: 20240028032
    Abstract: This patent application discloses methods and systems for alerting computerized motor-vehicles about predicted accidents. In an example method, a motor vehicle alerts another motor vehicle about a predicted accident, even though that accident is between the alerting car and a third motor vehicle—for example, the alert is transmitted by non-visual electromagnetic (EM) radiation. When an adjacent motor vehicle receives such accident alert and determines it might itself be hit, it will react so as to minimize its chances of being hit or at least to minimize the damage if it is being hit. Optionally, one or more of the motor vehicles has an onboard device for measuring a blood-alcohol level of a human driver thereof. The measured blood-alcohol level may be used to compute a probability of an occurrence of an accident and/or may be included in one or more of the transmitted accident alerts.

  • Patent number: 11206282
    Abstract: Methods and systems for penetration testing of a networked system by a penetration testing system. In some embodiments, both active and passive validation methods are used during a single penetration testing campaign in a single networked system. In other embodiments, a first penetration testing campaign uses only active validation and a second penetration campaign uses only passive validation, where both campaigns are performed by a single penetration testing system in a single networked system. Node-by-node determination of whether to use active or passive validation can be based on expected extent and/or likelihood of damage from actually compromising a network node using active validation.

  • Publication number: 20210144169
    Abstract: Methods and systems are disclosed for carrying out penetration testing campaigns of a networked system. These include having a reconnaissance agent software module (RASM) installed on a first network node detect an occurrence of a risky event in the node, an event that would allow an attacker of the penetration testing campaign to compromise the node if a specific Boolean condition is satisfied; in response to detecting the risky event, the RASM sends queries to a second network node requesting information, receives answers to the queries including at least one or more portions of the requested information, and, based on the received information, determines that the specific Boolean condition is satisfied and concludes that the node could be compromised by the attacker of the penetration testing campaign. Based on the above, a security vulnerability my be reported.

  • Patent number: 10939146
    Abstract: Methods and devices for enhancing user experience while a user is watching a content item using a content playing device, by proposing and/or displaying an enrichment content item related to the content item watched by the user, where the enrichment content item is assigned a dynamic title. The dynamic title may be a different title at different instances the enrichment content item is recommended to a user. The dynamic title may be based on a connection between the content item watched by the user and the enrichment content item. The dynamic title may be automatically generated, in real time, based on such a connection, or may be selected, in real-time, from a group of pre-defined titles reflecting different aspects of the watched content item.

  • Patent number: 10652269
    Abstract: Penetration testing campaigns generate remediation recommendations based at least in part on information about files stored in network nodes of the tested networked system. Information is obtained about files stored in a plurality of network nodes of the networked system, and based on the obtained information, a corresponding data-value score for each network node of the plurality of network nodes is determined according to a common data-value metric. The penetration testing campaign is executed, following which one or more remediation recommendations are selected based on the data-value scores corresponding to at least some of the plurality of network nodes.

  • Patent number: 10652592
    Abstract: Methods and systems are disclosed for enriching a viewing experience of a user watching video content on a screen of a client terminal by increasing the relevance of additional media content proposed or provided to the user. Disambiguation of named entities detected in a video content item being played is performed by identifying and accessing an information source directly associated with the video content item, and/or by analyzing visual content of a segment of the video content item. Selecting, proposing and/or providing an additional media content item is based on the information source and/or on the analyzing.

  • Patent number: 10637883
    Abstract: Methods and systems for providing a recommendation for improving the security of a networked system against attackers. The recommendation may include a recommendation of a single sub-goal to be protected to achieve optimal improvement in security, or of multiple such sub-goals. If the recommendation includes multiple sub-goals, the sub-goals may be ordered such that the first sub-goal is more important to protect, provides a greater benefit by being protected, or is more cost effective to protect than subsequent sub-goals in the ordered list of sub-goals.
