  • Patent number: 12267311
    Abstract: A system maintains values for secure connection settings for multiple registered users and restricts data resets. Upon receiving a reset request to reset the value of a particular secure connection setting for a specific user, trials are conducted each by: providing a reset tool to the requesting device for input of a requested new value for the secure connection setting; receiving the requested new value from the requesting device; and sending a validation request to a validation system, the validation request including, at least in part, the requested new value for the particular secure connection setting. If a reply from the validation system is deemed a repudiation of the requested new value, a trial count is tolled. If the trial count reaches a predetermined condition, trials are suspended, a denial message is sent to the requesting device, and the specific user is alerted of a attempt to alter their data.

  • Patent number: 12261833
    Abstract: A system and method for providing secure access to an organization's internal resources by an application running on an external network. An agent accepts queries from the application which are passed to a relay with a dynamic filter. The relay establishes a secure connection with a connector through the organization's firewall and passes requests from the application to an authentication service running on the internal network to confirm that a user of the application is authorized and issue an authentication ticket which is returned to the application. The application then sends a request to access a specific internal resource based on the authentication ticket, which is passed to a ticket granting service running on the internal network, to verify that said user is authorized to access the specific internal resource, and, if so, issue a service ticket to grant access the application for that resource.
