Abstract: Various systems and methods are provided that detect malicious network tunneling. For example, VPN logs and data connection logs may be accessed. The VPN logs may list client IP addresses that have established a VPN connection with an enterprise network. The data connection logs may list client IP addresses that have requested connections external to the enterprise network and remote IP addresses to which connections are requested. The VPN logs and the data connection logs may be parsed to identify IP addresses that are present in the VPN logs as a client IP address and in the data connection logs as a remote IP address. If an IP address is so present, user data and traffic data associated with the IP address may be retrieved to generate a risk score. If the risk score exceeds a threshold, an alert to be displayed in a GUI is generated.

Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure relate to version control. A version control server receives, from a client device, a request for making changes to a portion of data stored in a data store. The version control server verifies that the client device has permission to make the changes to the portion of the data stored in the data store. The version control server updates, using a version control servlet, the data store according to the request. The version control sever creates, forks, merges or deletes, using a repository management API (application programming interface), a repository and/or the files in the repository in the data store based on the request. The version control server triggers, using the repository management API, one or more webhooks in response to the request.

Abstract: A context-sensitive viewing system is disclosed in which various data visualizations, also referred to a contextual views, of a common set of data may be viewed by a user on an electronic device. Data in the system may comprise data objects and associated properties and/or metadata, and may be stored in one or more electronic data stores. As a user of the system views and manipulates a first contextual view of a set of data objects, one or more other contextual views of the same set of data objects may be updated accordingly. Updates to the secondary contextual views may, in various embodiments, happen real-time. Further, the secondary contextual views may be visible to the user simultaneously with the primary contextual view. A user may switch from one view to another, and may manipulate data in any view, resulting in updates in the other views.

Abstract: A dynamic data minimization server implements minimization protocols to entity-specific information based on access rights (e.g., privacy rights) of a requesting entity. The minimization may be applied on the fly (e.g., as the entity-specific information is requested) and the level, type, protocol, etc., of encryption (or other minimization process) may be selected based on a particular type of a data item. The dynamic data minimization server may determine and apply transformation functions, such as encryption, to items of protected information, transforming those items of protected information into items of minimized information. If a requesting entity has appropriate rights, the dynamic data minimization server may selectively apply a reverse transformation function, such as decryption, to recover the original information.

Abstract: Fault-tolerant and highly available configuration of distributed services including a computer-implemented method for distributed task orchestration. The method includes setting a watch on a first key in a first replica of a distributed configuration store and setting a value of a second key in a second replica of the distributed configuration store where the value of the second key indicates that a first sub-task of a distributed task is successfully complete. The value of the second key is received based on the watch set on the first key and execution of the second sub-tasks is initiated based on receiving the value of the second key. Also disclosed are techniques for service lifecycle management.

Abstract: Systems and techniques for indexing and/or querying a database are described herein. Discrete sections and/or segments from documents may be determined by a concept indexing system. The segments may be indexed by concept and/or higher-level category of interest to a user. A user may query the segments by one or more concepts. The segments may be analyzed to rank the segments by statistical accuracy and/or relatedness to one or more particular concepts. The rankings may be used for presentation of search results in a user interface. Furthermore, segments and/or documents may be ranked based on recency decay functions that distinguish between segments that maintain their relevance over time in contrast with temporal segments whose relevance decays quicker over time, for example.
