  • Patent number: 11720536
    Abstract: Systems and methods for data enrichment as a service are described herein. A service provider of a computing resource service provider may provide services for enriching data with additional data. The service provider may receive a set of enrichment parameters. The enrichment parameters may be used to determine whether data obtained by the service provider is eligible for enrichment. If data is eligible for enrichment, the data may be enriched according to the enrichment parameters, thereby generating enriched data. The enriched data may be stored in association with the data.

  • Patent number: 10341355
    Abstract: A multi-tenant provider network may implement confidential data capture and analysis for virtual computing resources. Network traffic for virtual compute instances may be evaluated to identify possible malicious behavior of the virtual compute instances. In some embodiments, a stream of raw metering data for individual network communications to the virtual compute instances may be evaluated. A confidential analysis may be performed for identified virtual compute instances, evaluating confidential data utilized by the virtual compute instances for malicious software. Results of the confidential analysis may be generated according to an access policy that restricts access to the confidential data. The results may be provided to a client that is restricted from accessing the confidential data according to the access policy.
