  • Patent number: 11695797
    Abstract: A proxy computer system retrieves content requested by a client computer from a third-party network service. The proxy computer system parses the content to identify a plurality of links including a first link to a first target resource and a second link to a second target resource. The proxy computer system generates modified content comprising (i) a direct link that includes an absolute domain address of the third-party network service that enables the client computer to bypass the proxy service and directly retrieve the first target resource from the third-party network service, and (ii) a proxy link that enables the client computer to retrieve the second target resource via the proxy service implemented by the network computer system. The proxy computer system provides the modified content to the client computer.

  • Patent number: 11687662
    Abstract: Various methods, apparatuses/systems, and media for intelligent identification of content data in files are disclosed. A receiver receives a request from a user to send an electronic mail (email) for external communication outside of an organization's internal network. A processor detects whether the email includes a file as an attachment to the email; scans the file for content data; tags and highlights the content data for preview check and for receiving user's input of confirmation data when it is determined that the email includes an external recipient. The receiver receives the user's input of confirmation data whether the external recipient is a recipient who is authorized to obtain the file including the content data. The processor transmits the email to the external recipient in response to receiving a positive user's input of confirmation data.

  • Patent number: 11689548
    Abstract: A method for identification of malicious domains is provided. The method extracts a set of domain information from one or more input streams. The set of domain information includes a set of domains and a set of domain characteristics describing each domain. The method clusters the set of domains to generate a set of campaign clusters of related domains. The clusters are based on the set of domain characteristics. The method modifies the set of campaign clusters with a set of threat intelligence ratings to generate a set of enriched campaign clusters. A portion of the set of threat intelligence ratings correspond to one or more domains within the set of campaign clusters. The method determines a cluster designation for each campaign cluster of the set of enriched campaign clusters and distributes the cluster designations for each campaign cluster to one or more threat intelligence resource.

  • Patent number: 11546375
    Abstract: External messaging attacks are detected using trust relationships. A profile is built for each target within an organization using extracted header data from multiple prior messages. Trust scores are derived for each sender of a message for each target profile, each trust score is derived from a degree and a quantity of communication between the respective sender and the target in the extracted header data. Incoming messages are received and a target and a sender of each incoming message is determined. A trust score is retrieved for the sender from the profile of the target for each incoming message, labels are generated for each of incoming message based on the respective trust score, and the respective label is applied to be visible to the target in association with the message for each respective message.

  • Patent number: 11496548
    Abstract: Some embodiments provide a program executable by a first device in a distributed system. The program publishes a first request for a collaborative operation to a first log of the first device. The program further receives, at the first log, a second request for the same collaborative operation. The second request is requested by a second device in the distributed system. The program also publishes a command to a second log of the first device. The command specifies the collaborative operation, the first device and the second device as participants of the collaborative operation, a first set of operations to be performed by the first device as part of the collaborative operations, and a second set of operations to be performed by the second device as part of the collaborative operation. The program further performs the first set of operations as part of the collaborative operation.

  • Patent number: 11489926
    Abstract: According to some embodiments, a system to automate platform provisioning for an enterprise includes a platform resource computer store containing a set of electronic data records (each including a component identifier and a set of computing characteristic values). A profile engine may receive a platform request from a user associated with the enterprise and identify, based on data in the platform resource computer store, a resource bundle of components appropriate in view of the platform request. A platform generator may receive platform requirements based on the identified resource bundle of components and provide input data to a REST API service. Final platform definition information for the enterprise may be stored into a central repository. According to some embodiments, a platform provisioning system may process IaaS and PaaS automation components and utilize a return service to generate infrastructure binding data to couple components in the resource bundle to each other.

  • Patent number: 11444882
    Abstract: Methods, non-transitory computer readable media, network traffic management apparatuses, and network traffic management systems that monitor one or more messages generated by an application or one or more characteristics of one or more transmission control protocol (TCP) connections with a destination device or a source device. A determination is made when a first TCP push flag should be set for a first packet associated with data based on the monitoring. The data is provided by the application. The first TCP push flag for the first packet is set prior to the first packet being sent to the destination device via a first one of the TCP connections, based on the determination that the first TCP push flag should be set for the first packet. Accordingly, this technology more effectively manages TCP push functionality to reduce acknowledgement messages (ACKs) and thereby improve network bandwidth and device resource utilization.
