Abstract: Computational resources are used for storing, processing, and transmitting logs, metrics, and other tracking data. Usage of such resources may be reduced by reducing the retention of identified tracking data subsets, based on the subsets' respective utilization levels, after monitoring activities that review a subset or at least request a subset for review. Efficient usage of tracking data subsets may be increased, as measured by signal-to-noise fractions, wherein signal strength corresponds to subset utilization in monitored review activities. Tracking data resource usage efficiency may be gained whether the amount of resources used is increased, maintained, or reduced. Resource usage control functionality may be integrated with security orchestration and automation, security information and event management, workload management, laws, entity policies, operational requirements, usage goals, or application dependencies, even in legacy systems.

Abstract: A real-world object-based method and system of performing an authentication of a person in order to permit access to a secured resource is disclosed. The system and method are configured to collect image data from an end-user in real-time that includes objects in their environment. At least one object is selected and its image data stored for subsequent authentication sessions, when the system can determine whether there is a match between the new image data and image data previously collected and stored in a database. If there is a match, the system verifies an identity of the person and can further be configured to automatically grant the person access to one or more services, features, or information for which he or she is authorized.

Abstract: A system and method for improving the download time of emails in an environment in which a server distributes emails to persons working in close proximity to each other. When these persons receive multi-recipient emails intended for several or all of these persons, the server distributing the emails delivers the multi-recipient emails to the first one of the persons who logged on to read his or her emails on his or her personal computer, for distribution to the other persons over a personal area network. This reduces the download time for the persons downloading their emails at a subsequent time.
