Abstract: Determining an entity's cybersecurity risk and benchmarking that risk includes non-intrusively collecting one or more types of data associated with an entity. Embodiments further include calculating a security score for at least one of the one or more types of data based, at least in part, on processing of security information extracted from the at least one type of data, wherein the security information is indicative of a level of cybersecurity. Some embodiments also comprise assigning a weight to the calculated security score based on a correlation between the extracted security information and an overall security risk determined from analysis of one or more previously-breached entities in the same industry as the entity. Additional embodiments include calculating an overall cybersecurity risk score for the entity based, at least in part, on the calculated security score and the weight assigned to the calculated security score.

Abstract: The techniques described herein relate to systems and methods for diagnosing diseases in animal patients. In some cases, a method includes providing a set of global data to a global data center and processing the set of global data and categorizing it into data clusters, where each data cluster corresponds to a diagnostic indicator for assessment of a physiological or pathological condition. The method can further include measuring data of a local patient using measurement equipment of a local autonomous cell and communicating the local measurement data from the local autonomous cell to the global data center. The local measurement data can be processed, and the processed local measurement data can be compared with the data clusters to determine a local diagnostic indicator for the local patient. The local diagnostic indicator can then be communicated from the global data center to the local autonomous cell.

Abstract: Splitting an address translation cache (ATC) into two portions can reduce costs and maintain efficient retrieval of data. One portion can be disposed in a first location while a second portion can be disposed in a second location distinct from the first location. The first location can be in the controller. The second location can be in a host memory buffer (HMB) or in a memory device separate from the controller. To obtain translated addresses, untranslated addresses can be searched in the first portion and the corresponding translated addresses can be retrieved from the second portion. When invalidating untranslated addresses, the untranslated addresses of the first portion can be deleted without a need to delete corresponding translated addresses in the second portion. To improve ATC storage capacity, grouping of untranslated addresses is possible using most significant bytes (MSBs).
