Abstract: Implementation(s) for multi-factor network segmentation are described. A plurality of packets at a higher layer of a network stack is processed, where at least one packet of the plurality of packets was previously determined, as part of processing the at least one packet at lower layers of the network stack, to be authorized to be processed by the higher layer. Specifically, responsive to successful authentication of a cryptographic certificate received during the handshake process, a second service is identified from the cryptographic certificate. It is determined, based on a security policy, that the second service is authorized to access the first service. Responsive to the determination, a configuration is caused such that packets sent using the source address are now authorized to be processed by the higher layer.
Abstract: The present disclosure is related to automatically, based on contextual information and without needing explicit input from a user, modifying one or more settings associated with presenting a notification. In examples, settings may include automatically suspending notification presentation or automatically overriding a notification setting that suspends notification presentation. In addition, contextual information may include, among other things, information related to a computing device (e.g., device location or network signal strength), a rate of user interaction or engagement with an application (e.g., rate of information sharing, user reactions, etc.), and/or a calendar or schedule of a user. In examples, the contextual information may be analyzed (e.g., based on comparison to a threshold) to determine whether a condition is met, and based on the analysis, the one or more settings may be modified.

Abstract: A federation management service may generate a federated application program interface (API) based on multiple data sources. The federation management service may detect changes to one or more of the multiple data sources, which may result in generation of a new version of the federated API. The changes to the data sources may be documented in a change event log. The change event log may be used to recreate a prior version of the federated API by applying changes of the change event log to a federated schema corresponding to the federated API. A snapshotting technique may capture the state of the federated schema at various points in time, and snapshots may be used to regenerate a prior version of the federated API using the change events of the change event log.
