  • Patent number: 12164628
    Abstract: Systems, devices, and methods are disclosed in relation to a vector space model that may be used to characterize a category of messages. In one of many possible implementations, the frequency of words found within a piece of text is determined. These frequencies are compared against the frequencies of words within a given corpus like the Oxford English Corpus by first converting the frequencies to probabilities via the inverse cumulative distribution function assuming a normal distribution of frequencies then via taking the absolute difference in frequencies. A small difference reduces the weight of the given word whereas a large weight increases the weight of the word, leading to excellent word ranking for automated feature selection filtering without the need for a negative corpus.

  • Patent number: 12164415
    Abstract: Debug engine receives a capture file over the network interface and initiate playback by executing the capture file with the processor. The capture file comprises real-time local network environment video synchronized with data captured by a local browser at a local station interacting with a local network gateway device over a local network. The capture file is played back, using a mock server including transmitting HTTP requests from the capture file at the developer station to the mock gateway server. Additionally, HTTP responses are received from the capture file at the mock gateway server, in synch with actions in the real-time local network environment video. A GUI engine renders a GUI on the developer computer from real-time GUI code generated from the capture file playback as modified by processing the HTTP responses.

  • Publication number: 20240394368
    Abstract: A plurality of fake vulnerabilities are exposed to network traffic alongside an active resource. Each fake vulnerability cannot harm the active resource and wherein the deceptive proxy device and the legitimate device are reachable by a common IP address. Network traffic is monitored in real-time, to detect an attack by a malicious device concerning at least one of the fake vulnerabilities of the plurality of fake vulnerabilities exposed by the deceptive proxy resource. The malicious device is trusted by the enterprise network. Responsive to the attack detection, a security action is taken with respect to the malicious device.

  • Publication number: 20240386104
    Abstract: A string sample is received from a file in real-time and the string sample is converted to a Tetra code and used to search a database of Tetra code samples, organized by family and then by variant. Responsive to the real-time Tetra code not matching any stored Tetra codes, (a) an internal structure of the Tetra Code is generated to expose correlations of encrypted features of the file, without any access to the file, (b) machine learning is utilized to classify the internal structure of encrypted features against training data of encrypted features, and (c) a label is predicted based on the classification. The real-time Tetra code is stored in the database associated with the new family label and/or the new variant label. Any label for the file string sample is output for potential security actions.

  • Patent number: 12143422
    Abstract: Responsive to the request for a security fabric report, an upper-level node transits a request to a lower-level node for a subtree security report. If there are additional network gateways at lower hierarchical levels, the next level down repeats the process. A root level network gateway will transmit the first request, as the high level of the hierarchy, and a last leaf receives the last request, as the lowest level. An overall security fabric report is returned from the root node.

  • Publication number: 20240372884
    Abstract: A private network is scanned to identify devices, and profiling identified devices for vulnerabilities. A score is determined from a Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) database for each vulnerability individually that characterizes severity. A score is determined for a collection of vulnerabilities. Exponential tapering functions curb an influence of large numbers of low priority threats on the collection score. The collection threat score increases with severity of the collection of vulnerabilities.

  • Patent number: 12130878
    Abstract: Example systems and methods monitor a cloud compute environment. An example method includes: determining, by an agent deployed in a cloud environment and based on a plurality of data packets transmitted over a plurality of network interfaces of the cloud environment, a set of data packets that are associated with a communication between a first container and a second container; determining, by the agent and based on the set of data packets, communication data associated with the communication; and providing, by the agent, the communication data to a data platform, wherein providing the communication data to the data platform uses less network resources than providing the set of data packets to the data platform.
