Patent number: 12229575Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to systems and methods for container security using a hopping mechanism. Methods include the steps of selecting a first virtual container associated with one or more software processes; replicating the first virtual container to create a plurality of replicated virtual containers, each of the plurality of replicated virtual containers a duplicate of the first virtual container, and the plurality of replicated virtual containers configured to run synchronously; generating a randomized hopping set that defines a set of replicated virtual containers from the plurality of replicated virtual containers, the randomized hopping set establishing a sequence of the set of replicated virtual containers in which to run the one or more software processes; and running the one or more software processes across the set of replicated virtual containers based on the sequence of the randomized hopping set.Type: GrantFiled: February 3, 2021Date of Patent: February 18, 2025Assignee: CISCO TECHNOLOGY, INC.Inventor: Alan Robert Lynn

Publication number: 20240430257Abstract: Disclosed herein are systems, methods, and computer-readable media for increasing security of devices that leverages an integration of an authentication system with at least one corporate service. In one aspect, a request is received from a user device to authenticate a person as a particular user by the authentication system. A photo of the person attempting to be authenticated as the particular user is captured. Nodal points are mapped to the captured photo of the person attempting to be authenticated, and the nodal points from the photo are compared against a reference model for facial recognition of the particular user. It is then determined whether the nodal points match the reference model for the particular user. The present technology also includes sending a command to the user device to send data to identify the person, and/or a location of the user device.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 6, 2024Publication date: December 26, 2024Inventors: Thomas Szigeti, Alan Robert Lynn, David John Zacks, Frank Michaud

Patent number: 11444941Abstract: The present technology pertains to a system that authenticates the identity of a user trying to access a service. The system comprises an authentication provider configured to communicate authentication requirements to a continuous multifactor authentication device and the continuous multifactor authentication device configured to receive authentication requirements, to fuse multiple identification factors into an identification credential for a user according to the authentication requirements, and to send the authentication credential to the authentication provider. After receiving the identification credential meeting the authentication requirements, the authentication provider is configured to instruct a service provider to initiate a session.Type: GrantFiled: January 22, 2020Date of Patent: September 13, 2022Assignee: CISCO TECHNOLOGY, INC.Inventors: Alan Robert Lynn, Frank Michaud, Carlos M. Pignataro, Rajiv Asati
