Abstract: The system and methods described herein allow users to give their applicant information when seeking to submit an inquiry associated with a product provided by at least one entity, and have various lender microservices run in parallel, segregated by entity, in a jailed and self-contained, autonomous environment. The result of these microservices may be returned as a response to the inquity, being determined autonomously for each respective entity based on one or more respective rule sets or executable logic for each respective entity. Payloads for multiple entities may be combined in a single output from the jailed and self-contained environment due to outputs from the environment being encrypted in a universal format, wherein the outputs are decrypted in a user session in an application, allowing the user to see the results of the respective responses of each of the at least one entity, to their inquiry.

Abstract: Aspects described herein may provide an interface and/or search functionality for a dealership to determine vehicles a customer is most likely to purchase.

Abstract: Embodiments detect identity attacks by comparing usage of compromised passphrases or other weak credentials in failed sign-in attempts to access restriction conditions. A restriction threshold amount of weak credential failed sign-ins (WCFSI) or a WCFSI increase indicates an identity attack, such as a password spray attack. Going beyond the mere number of failed sign-ins by also considering credential strength allows embodiments to detect attacks sooner than other approaches. An embodiment may also initiate or impose defenses by locking accounts, blocking IP addresses, or requiring additional authentication before access to an account is allowed. Weak credentials may include short passwords, simple passwords, compromised passwords, or wrong usernames, for instance. Password strength testing may be used for attack detection in addition to preventive use on passwords proposed by authorized users. Familiar and unfamiliar traffic source locations may be tracked, as sets or individually.
