  • Patent number: 11595324
    Abstract: A system is provided for automated cross-network monitoring of computing hardware and software status. In particular, the system may track the status of various computing resources using process automation-based operations to simulate calls made by users to the various resources that the users are authorized to access. Based on said operations, the system may assess whether the authorized pathways to the resources and/or their respective components are properly functioning by capturing information regarding the resource, its associated components, and the current status of the resource. The results of these operations may be aggregated to provide an overview of which resources and/or systems are functioning and which are not. In this way, the system may provide a detailed view of the statuses of the individual resources and components within an entity's complex computing network.

  • Patent number: 11516069
    Abstract: Techniques are described for an IT and security operations application to automatically generate aggregate (or “bulk,” “group,” or “composite”) notable events by identifying notable events sharing common characteristics and aggregating the related notable events into a single aggregate notable event entity that can be displayed and operated upon. The IT and security operations application identifies related notable events based on notable events generated by a common correlation search, notable events having common event attributes, based on user-specified relatedness criteria, or other such criteria. Once identified, in some embodiments, the IT and security operations application displays, in notable event lists and other interfaces, a singular aggregate notable event to users representing each of the identified related notable events.

  • Patent number: 11496371
    Abstract: Techniques are described for enabling a cloud-based IT and security operations application to execute playbooks containing custom code in a manner that mitigates types of risk related to the misuse of cloud-based resources and security of user data. Users use a client application to create and modify playbooks and, upon receiving input to save a playbook, the client application determines whether the playbook includes custom code. If the client application determines that the playbook includes custom code, the client application establishes a connection with a proxy application (also referred to as an “automation broker”) running in the user's own on-premises network and sends a representation of the playbook to the proxy application. The client application further sends to the IT and security operations application an identifier of the playbook and an indication that the playbook (or the custom code portions of the playbook) is stored within the user's on-premises network.
