  • Patent number: 12105596
    Abstract: Data of a computer system can be secured from malware. During a Primary Operating System (PrimaryOS) run-time, the system determines if the computer system has been compromised and, if so, a Trusted Operating System (TrustedOS) is launched and assumes control of the hardware resources and the software resources of the computer system. The TrustedOS obtains a cryptographic key that is inaccessible to the PrimaryOS. The TrustedOS uses the cryptographic key to disable writing to a first portion of the storage media that includes the first set of logical block addresses. The PrimaryOS can incrementally back-up files to a second set of logical block addresses on a second portion of the storage media. Control of the hardware resources and the software resources is returned to the PrimaryOS.

  • Patent number: 12099606
    Abstract: A method, computing device, and non-transitory machine-readable medium for detecting malware attacks and mitigating data loss. In various embodiments, an agent is implemented in the operating system of a storage node to provide protection at the bottommost level in a data write path. The agent intercepts write requests and observes file events over time to detect anomalous behavior. For example, the agent may monitor incoming write requests and, when an incoming write request is detected, determine whether the file is associated with a malware attack risk based on an analysis of an encryption state of data in the file.

  • Patent number: 12088553
    Abstract: A method may include receiving, via a secure deployment management (SDM) system, data associated with operations of an industrial device from a SDM node associated with the industrial device. The data is received via a secure communication channel established by the SDM system with the SDM node and security protocols. The SDM node is communicatively coupled with a machine learning system for sending and receiving data. The machine learning system may generate an updated machine learning model based on the data and a machine learning model representative of expected outputs associated with the operations of the industrial device and generate updated configuration data based on the updated machine learning model. The method may then include receiving the updated configuration data from the SDM node via the secure communication channel and sending the updated configuration data to the industrial device without performing security operations on the updated configuration data.

  • Patent number: 12074911
    Abstract: Enhanced electronic security systems and methods are provided. A whitelist, blacklist, or both of resource access sources that are allowed to use a particular resource access account are obtained. Upon detecting an access attempt to a particular resource on a computer network, a source of the access attempt and a resource access account used in the access attempt is identified. The whitelist, blacklist, or both are referenced to determine if the source of the access attempt is allowed to use the resource access account used in the access attempt. When the source of the access attempt is not allowed to use the resource access account used in the access attempt, one or more mitigation tasks may be performed.

  • Patent number: 12052362
    Abstract: A method for transmitting ticket information to user devices based on interactions of the user devices with a ticket system, is disclosed. The method involves identifying interactions of a first user device and a second user device with the ticket system within a predefined time period. The interactions are associated with ticket requests for a resource. Interaction scores are generated and updated based on the number of interactions. Upon interaction with the first user device, a first interface containing first ticket information is transmitted within the predefined time period, determined by the first interaction score. Simultaneously, in response to the second user device interaction, a second interface with second ticket information is transmitted, determined by the second interaction score. Notably, the second ticket information includes a second quantity of available tickets for the resource, which is lesser than a first quantity in the first ticket information.

  • Patent number: 12051092
    Abstract: Systems and methods are shown for providing private local sponsored content selection and improving intelligence models through distribution among mobile devices. This allows greater data gathering capabilities through the use of the sensors of the mobile devices as well as data stored on data storage components of the mobile devices to create predicted models while offering better opportunities to preserve privacy. Locally stored profiles comprising machine intelligence models may also be used to determine the relevance of the data gathered and in improving an aggregated model for identifying the relevance of data and the selection of sponsored content items. Distributed optimization is used in conjunction with privacy techniques to create the improved machine intelligence models. Publishers may also benefit from the improved privacy by protecting the statistics of type or volume of sponsored content items shown with publisher content.

  • Patent number: 12047411
    Abstract: Techniques are provided for detecting compromised web pages in a runtime environment. A first version of a web page is retrieved and loaded in a browser comprising a browser extension configured to detect event listeners added when web pages are loaded by the browser. First data is generated describing a first set of event listeners detected by the browser extension when the first version of the web page is loaded. At a second time a second version of the web page is retrieved and loaded in the browser. Second data is generated describing a second set of event listeners detected by the browser extension when the second version of the web page is loaded. It is determined that the web page is compromised based on comparing the first data and the second data. In response to determining that the web page is compromised, a threat response action is performed.
