  • Patent number: 11627164
    Abstract: A flexible security system has been created that allows for fluid security operations that adapt to the dynamic nature of user behavior while also allowing the security related operations themselves to be dynamic. This flexible system includes ongoing collection and/or updating of multi-perspective “security contexts” per actor and facilitating consumption of these multi-perspective security contexts for security related operations on the users. These security related operations can include policy-based security enforcement and inspection. A security platform component or security entity uses a multi-perspective security context for a user or actor. Aggregating and maintaining behavioral information into a data structure for an actor over time from different sources allows a security platform component or entity to have historical context for an actor from one or more security perspectives.

  • Patent number: 11606378
    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed to implement a cyberattack detection system that monitors a computer network for suspected lateral movement. In embodiments, the system employs multiple machine learning models to analyze connection data of a network to identify anomalies in the network's connection behavior. The models are updated incrementally using online machine learning methods that can be performed in constant time and memory. In embodiments, the system uses an incremental matrix factorization model and a connection count fitting model to generate anomaly scores for each connection. Connection paths are constructed for acyclic sequences of time-ordered connections observed in the stream. The paths are evaluated based on the anomalies scores of their individual connections. Paths that meet a detection criterion are reported to analysts for further review.

  • Patent number: 11606616
    Abstract: A media server is hosted in a service provider's network so that media content can be stored from or rendered to a private network such as a Digital Living Network Alliance network. Media content may be stored by accessing the media server or by downloading the media content to the media server. Support of set top boxes interacting with voice-on-demand (VOD) controllers and computers interacting with IP-based video content servers are integrated through the media server. Consequently, VOD assets can be played on IP-based devices and IP-based content can be played on set top boxes. A gateway function converts IP-based content to a VOD asset, and renders the VOD asset to a set top box while mapping digital rights management information for the VOD asset. Conversely, the gateway function may convert a VOD asset to IP-based content that can be played on an IP-based device.
