Abstract: Provided are systems and methods for producing seamless woven materials that are variable in each of their 3 dimensions. The systems and methods generally operate by altering heddle positions independently to impart three dimensional structure to a woven fabric. Weft yarn is woven into a set of warp yarns that have been individually raised or lowered along a particular cross section, essentially locking the weave into an intended 3 dimensional form.

Abstract: A third-party server, delegated by organizations to manage application environment, may maintain a plurality of guided workflow plans. At least one of the guided workflow plans may include one or more steps associated with setting up an interaction control policy. The third-party server may receive an interaction report associated with the organization. The interaction report may include metadata of one or more devices that interacted with other devices. The third-party server may identify a particular device to which existing interaction control policies of the organization are inapplicable. The third-party server may search for additional out-of-band information of the particular device using the metadata in the interaction report. The third-party server may select an applicable guided workflow plan for setting up an applicable interaction control policy for the particular device. A guided workflow may be presented via a graphical user interface according to the applicable guided workflow plan.

Abstract: A DNS server receives from a receiving email system, a DNS query for an email domain stored at the DNS server, the DNS query including identifying information of a sender of an email. The DNS server extracts the identifying information of the email sender from the DNS query and identifies one of a plurality of delivering organizations from the information. The DNS server determines whether the identified delivering organization is authorized to deliver email on behalf of the email domain. In response to determining that the identified delivering organization is authorized to deliver email on behalf of the email domain, the DNS server generates a target validation record based on the identity of the authorized delivering organization and the email domain, the target validation record including one or more rules indicating to the receiving email system whether the delivering organization is an authorized sender of email for the email domain.

Abstract: Embodiments relate to a system that may include a third-party server and a domain name system (DNS). The third-party server may be configured to receive a request for a credential from a named entity device for the named entity device to communicate with an application programming interface (API). The API may be associated with a domain. The third-party server may obtain the credential from the API. The third-party server may encrypt the credential with a public key corresponding to the named entity device to generate an encrypted credential. The DNS may be configured to receive the encrypted credential and publish a DNS record at a namespace of the DNS, the DNS record containing the encrypted credential for the named entity device to retrieve the credential. The named entity device may decrypt the encrypted credential by the private key stored at the device.

Abstract: Systems and methods are described for providing updating of disk images supporting serverless code execution and controlled deployment of updated disk images. A disk image can be defined as a set of layers that represent a file system include code of a serverless function and other data used by the code. A function owner can designate one layer as containing software or other data subject to update. When a new version of the layer is obtained at a serverless compute system, the system can generate a new disk image containing the updated layer. The system can then gradually transition the function to the new disk image, by dividing calls to the function among two versions of the function—one using the prior disk image, and one using the new disk image. Performance data gained from the new version of the function can be used to control the gradual transition.

Abstract: Cyber-security techniques are described for monitoring a cloud environment and identifying potential problems, including malicious threats, to the monitored cloud environment using operational telemetry. Techniques are described for monitoring and collecting data related to reverse or recursive DNS (rDNS) traffic associated with a monitored cloud environment. The recursive DNS traffic includes recursive DNS (rDNS) requests originating from the cloud environment and responses to those requests received from DNS resolvers. This collected data is then analyzed to identify potential threats to the monitored cloud environment. The collected data may be analyzed to identify potential sources of threats and to identify one or more portions of the cloud environment that are the targets of the threats. The analysis may trigger alerts to be generated, actions to be performed (e.g., protective measures), reports to be generated, patterns to be recognized, etc.

Abstract: A third-party server may maintain a list of named entity devices that belong to one or more roles in an application environment. The server may receive an authorization query from a policy consuming device. The authorization query may include an identity of a particular named entity device which sent a message to the policy consuming device and contextual metadata associated with the message. The server may determine that the particular named entity device belongs to one of the roles and filter the list based on the contextual metadata. The server may generate an interaction control list that includes the filtered list and transmit the interaction control list to the policy consuming device as a response to the authorization query. The interaction control list causes the policy consuming device to react to the message based on the interaction control list.
