  • Patent number: 11934515
    Abstract: A system for inoculating a computer network against malware is described. Specifically, environmental indicators used by anti-analysis and target filtering mechanisms of a malware program may be determined based on analysis within a virtual or physical sandbox environment. The environmental indicators may be sent to computing devices associated with the computing network. The malware program, based on the environmental indicators, may be spoofed to assume that a computing device is associated with an anti-malware system, and/or is a device that is not to be infected. Based on this assumption, the malware program may not execute within the computing device.

  • Patent number: 11914705
    Abstract: An approach for clustering large sets of categorical data involves iteratively ordering the data points, partitioning the data into blocks based on the ordering, and clustering the data points within each block, where different iterations use different orderings and, thus, different partitionings. In some embodiments, the data points are represented by multi-dimensional categorical vectors, and the orderings are based on permutations of the categorical dimensions. The iterative clustering may be repeated for multiple successive time windows to track the clusters. Various applications of the disclosed clustering approach, including for cyber security, are also described.
