Publication number: 20250379881Abstract: In a computer-implemented method for managing analytic results in a cybersecurity system, data representing a plurality of events are accessed, where the plurality of events include machine data generated by entities that are part of or that interact with a computer network. A cybersecurity analytic of a cybersecurity application is applied to the data to produce analytic results, wherein the cybersecurity analytic is to detect a cybersecurity-related anomaly or threat. A performance of the cybersecurity analytic is then evaluated by applying the analytic results to a specified performance criterion. A corrective action for the cybersecurity analytic is then determined, based on a result of evaluating the performance of the cybersecurity analytic. Zero or more anomaly or threat detections by the cybersecurity analytic are then incorporated into an output of the cybersecurity application, based on the determined corrective action.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 25, 2025Publication date: December 11, 2025Inventor: Alan D. Ross

Patent number: 10511638Abstract: Technologies for providing policy-based secure containers for multiple enterprise applications include a client computing device and an enterprise policy server. The client computing device sends device attribute information and a request for access to an enterprise application to the enterprise policy server. The enterprise policy server determines a device trust level based on the device attribute information and a data sensitivity level based on the enterprise application, and sends a security policy to the client computing device based on the device trust level and the data sensitivity level. The client computing device references or creates a secure container for the security policy, adds the enterprise application to the secure container, and enforces the security policy while executing the enterprise application in the secure container. Multiple enterprise applications may be added to each secure container. Other embodiments are described and claimed.Type: GrantFiled: October 23, 2018Date of Patent: December 17, 2019Assignee: Intel CorporationInventors: Tarun Viswanathan, Uri Kahana, Alan D.
