  • Patent number: 12192119
    Abstract: A computer-readable medium storing instructions for a universal API (Application Programming Interface) for multiple network resources. The instructions cause a processor to perform receiving, from a user interface, a request associated with a set of different network resources. The request includes one or more operations for the different network resources. The instructions may cause parsing the request to identify each of the operations, and performing the operations on the network resources. The instructions may also cause collecting, from the network resources, responses to the operations that were performed; and generating a consolidated response that includes the responses. The consolidated response may be generated according to a schema defining valid syntax for communications.

  • Patent number: 12182265
    Abstract: A cloud-based operating-system-event and data-access monitoring method includes collecting event information from a monitored cloud-based element. One or more structured event payloads based on the event information is then generated. The structured event payloads that produce one or more validated event collections are then validated. The one or more validated event collections are then serialized and filtered to remove redundant structured event payload data. The filtered validated structured event payloads are then de-serialized to produce a time-sequenced, ordered event stream. The time-sequenced, ordered event stream is de-duplicated to remove duplicate structured event payloads. The time-sequenced ordered event stream is then processed to generate processed information security results.

  • Patent number: 12149585
    Abstract: Solutions for enabling analytics for a virtualized application leverage reproducibility of information as a substitute for persisting information. Disclosed solutions include: collecting, by a virtualized application, first analytics data on a user equipment (UE); performing, by the virtualized application, a one-way function (e.g., a hash function) on persistent information (e.g., an international mobile equipment identity (IMEI) number) on the UE to generate a unique UE identification (ID); transmitting the first analytics data and the UE ID to a remote node across a network; collecting, by the virtualized application, second analytics data on the UE; and transmitting the second analytics data and the UE ID to the remote node across the network. Because the UE ID is deterministic, it may be generated repeatedly, as needed, (producing the same value each time) to compensate for the inability of the virtualized application to persist the UE ID on the UE.

  • Patent number: 12143284
    Abstract: Example methods and systems for health check as a service are described. One example may involve a computer system receiving a request to perform a health check for a network environment that includes a set of multiple flows. The computer system may select a subset that includes (a) a first flow between a first pair of endpoints and (b) a second flow between a second pair of endpoints. The health check may be initiated for the first flow and the second flow by generating and sending (a) a first instruction to cause injection of a first health check packet, and (b) a second instruction to cause injection of a second health check packet. The computer system may determine health status information associated with the subset based on (a) first observation information triggered by the first health check packet, and (b) second observation information triggered by the second health check packet.
