  • Patent number: 11928634
    Abstract: Detecting fraudulent activity can be a complex, manual process. In this paper, we adapt statistical properties of count data in a novel algorithm to uncover records exhibiting high risk for fraud. Our method identifies shelves, partitioning data under the counts using a Student's t-distribution. We apply this methodology on a univariate dataset including cumulative results from phone calls to a customer service center. Additionally, we extend this technique to multivariate data, illustrating that the same method is applicable to both univariate and multivariate data.

  • Patent number: 10891359
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for managing personal identifying information (PII). An exemplary method includes receiving, from a requestor, a request related to PII for an individual. In connection therewith, a computing device determines whether a restriction on the PII or the individual applies to the request, and then broadcasts the request, subject to the determined restriction, to a service provider of a service associated with the individual where the service provider is a controller of PII of the individual. The computing device also compiles a reply to the request, based on a response from the service provider, where the reply includes the PII, and transmits the reply to the requestor. The computing device then logs multiple interactions related to the request in an audit data structure, thereby permitting compliance with PII controls to be demonstrated.

  • Patent number: 10887335
    Abstract: The systems and methods described herein, given a population of entities each with associated information technology (IT) security risk scores, computes an aggregate risk score which quantifies the overall risk of the population. The method works for any arbitrary population of any size, and of any combination of different entity types and results in normalized risk scores for the arbitrary population (i.e. in the [0,1] range, regardless of population size or makeup). Since the risk scores are normalized, it affords comparison across different arbitrary entity populations having different combinations of entity types (e.g. users, servers, and printers). The aggregation technique allows for sensitivity to small numbers of high risk entities, which is a highly desirable characteristic for risk-based applications, and allows for sensitivity to different entity types or other relevant factors such as higher risk users, different threat types.

  • Patent number: 10866582
    Abstract: A hybrid data collection and analysis infrastructure combines edge-level and cloud-level computing to perform high-level monitoring and control of industrial systems and processes. Edge devices located on-premise at one or more plant facilities can collect data from multiple industrial devices on the plant floor and perform local edge-level analytics on the collected data. In addition, the edge devices maintain a communication channel to a cloud platform executing cloud-level data collection and analytic services. As necessary, the edge devices can pass selected sets of data to the cloud platform, where the cloud-level analytic services perform higher level analytics on the industrial data. The hybrid architecture operates in a bi-directional manner, allowing the cloud-level and edge-level analytics to send control instructions to industrial devices based on results of the edge-level and cloud-level analytics.
