  • Patent number: 11818166
    Abstract: A malware infection prediction method predicts a likelihood that a client device is to be infected with in a period of time based on state and behavior telemetry data. A malware infection prediction system receives telemetry data associated with use (i.e. behavior data) and configuration (i.e. state data) of a client device. By using a trained model, the system predicts a likelihood of the client device becoming infected within a given time frame. Based on the predicted likelihood, the system generates recommendations including recommended actions for reducing the likelihood of the client device becoming infected. The system then generates notifications including the recommendations and sends the notifications to the client device or to an administrative account associated with the client device.

  • Patent number: 11360883
    Abstract: A test management system utilizes an adaptive cohort selection technique to dynamically select and update a cohort of clients for testing a feature of a computer security application. The test management system selects an initial cohort based on high level parameters of the test including the feature to be evaluated and the statistical confidence level for the outcome. During the test, the test management system obtains real-time telemetry data relevant to evaluating the test. Depending on how the test is tracking relative to the test objectives, test management system may dynamically modify the cohort by expanding the size of the cohort or changing the cohort membership.

  • Patent number: 11184328
    Abstract: A security server assigns users sessions to a provider that provides virtual private networks. The security server trains a machine-learned model to identify a provider from a set of providers. The security server obtains connection parameters associated with a requested VPN connection. Connection parameters comprise a location of a computing device that requested the VPN connection, a time of the requested VPN connection, a current and/or historical state of VPN performance data, and user preferences. The security server applies the machine-learned model to the connection parameters to identify a provider. The security server provisions a user session based on the provider and establishes a connection through the provider.

  • Patent number: 11157614
    Abstract: A system manages the rate of false positive detections of malware by controlling release of malware definition updates. The system determines a cohort of target devices for distributing an initial release of an update of malware definitions and sends the update exclusively to the target devices. The system then obtains telemetry data which include information associated with usage of the target devices following the update. The system analyzes the telemetry data for instances of false positive detections of malware arising from the update to the malware definitions. Based on the analysis of the telemetry data, the system determines whether to further distribute the update outside of the cohort of target client devices or to roll back the update provided to the cohort. The system executes the decision to further distribute the update or to roll back the update.

  • Patent number: 10102502
    Abstract: A method for tracking referrals using a third party applicant tracking system (ATS). The method include receiving a request to display a web page at a URL from a client used by a job candidate, where the URL is associated with a job at a company and the job candidate. The method further includes providing to the client a web page associated with the URL that includes a description of the job and a link to an ATS, receiving a request for a web page corresponding to the job, where the request is initiated by selection of the link. The method further includes making a determination that the ATS is a third party ATS and, in response, generating a third party referral URL, a unique identifier associated with the job, and an identifier associated with a source type, and providing the third party referral URL to the client.

  • Patent number: 8886817
    Abstract: Communications between social networks are enabled via authentication that provides single-sign-on (SSO) authentication of users such as individual users or social networks or social network services that desire access to network resources on a particular social network. The particular network requests authentication of the requesting user(s), and based on an authentication result the particular network provides or denies access to the resources. A social network services database maintains a listing of resources of different social networks, that a user can search to determine where to find resources on other networks. The user can then query the social networks hosting those resources or their social network services for access, and the networks or services can authenticate the user before granting access according to any conditions that the hosting social networks or social network services may choose to apply.
