  • Publication number: 20240111877
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer program products for content management systems. Multiple components are operatively interconnected to carry out operations for content management systems. A security threat management facility (STMF) is identified. The STMF contains a database of threat assessment values in addition to further information pertaining to one or more users. Concurrent with operation of the STMF, a content management system (CMS) tracks user-initiated content object interaction events. Based on analysis of the tracked user-initiated content object interaction events, a further threat assessment value is generated by the CMS. Such a further threat assessment is determined based on one or more user-to-user relationships or one or more user-to-file relationships as determined at the content management system. An augmented threat assessment is formed using both the threat assessment values of the STMF with the further threat assessment value from the CMS.

  • Publication number: 20240114056
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer program products for content management systems. Multiple components are operatively interconnected to carry out operations for content management systems. Content objects of a content management system (CMS) are managed from original creation through to final disposition (e.g., deletion). The CMS communicates with a security threat management facility (STMF). In operation, the STMF establishes a first set of security parameters corresponding to information derived from packet inspection, whereas the CMS establishes a second set of security parameters corresponding to information derived at least in part by analysis of user activities or contents of the content object. A security perimeter is formed by combining the first set of security parameters and a second set of security parameters. Risks or vulnerabilities corresponding to the content object are minimized by choosing the lower of any two compared parameters to define a lower risk perimeter for the content object.

  • Patent number: 10514962
    Abstract: Disclosed is a method and mechanism to implement a communication channel between a web application and a locally running application on a computing system. A local communications server is employed to pass messages between the web application and a local application using a local comm server. The local comm server communicates with the local application over a named pipe that is dedicated to a specific web session and/or application.
