Abstract: A system and method for responding to incidents in an enterprise network is disclosed. The system tracks incidents by creating, in an incident Manager, incident objects for each incident. Each incident object includes details for the incidents, also known as incident characteristics. The system also creates one or more indicators of compromise (IOCs) associated with the incident characteristics for each incident. When processing a new incident or an update to an incident, the system compares IOCs associated with the incident object for the incident being processed to stored IOCs for other incidents to determine if other incidents are related to the incident being processed. In embodiments, the system can then generate tasks for responding to new incidents based on incident characteristics of and IOCs associated with the new incidents, and can regenerate tasks for responding to incidents based on updates to incident characteristics of and IOCs associated with the incidents.

Abstract: An incident manager application (IM) for responding to data security incidents in enterprise networks is disclosed. An IM tracks the incidents in an enterprise network by storing incident objects and incident artifact (IA) metadata created for the incidents, where the incident objects and IAs include information concerning the incidents. Incident response team (IRT) personnel of the enterprise networks can define action conditions within the IM that are associated with the incident objects. When the information within the incident objects and/or IAs meets the defined action conditions, the IM includes the objects that cause the action conditions to be satisfied in messages. Devices such as user account databases and configuration servers within the enterprise network can then download the messages and execute actions that reference the objects extracted from the downloaded messages to implement a response to the incidents.

Abstract: A roof system including roof support and roof, preferably a flat roof. The roof support includes (a) a plurality of first joists and (b) a plurality of second joists. Each first joist acts as a roof girder. Each second joist extends between a pair of adjacent first joists. Each first joist and each second joist includes a top chord, a bottom chord and web members connecting the chords. Each top chord is hollow, rectangular cross section and sealed; each bottom chord and web member is preferably a hollow sealed pipe. As a result the roof support can be made of joists with a minimum of flat surfaces and nooks and crannies where dust and particles can collect, so that the roof support is easier to wash and regularly sanitize.

Abstract: Private, personal, secret, or otherwise sensitive data is masked or redacted in response to receiving an event signal indicative of an occurrence, if any, of at least one of a number of defined events associated with the set of data. The data to mask is detected by matching it to one or more defined patterns and then validating it, in the case of the data being a financial account or credit card account number, by using a validation process, such as the Luhn algorithm. Among others, the defined event may be a transmission of the data between a host computer system and a terminal emulator, an entry of the data into a host screen, or an export of a set of host screen data to an external application by an end user computer system.

Abstract: A system and method for responding to data security incidents in enterprise networks using an incident response bus (IR bus) within an incident management system is disclosed. An Incident Manager (IM) application of the system stores objects that include information concerning data security incidents that occur in enterprise networks managed by the incident management system. Users configure action conditions on the IM, the satisfaction of which cause the IM to send messages that include the information concerning the incidents to message queues, or destinations. Correspondingly, the IR bus includes plugins associated with the devices in each client's enterprise network, where each plugin can access the message destinations for the messages. The plugins, in one embodiment, also configure one or more chains of plugins that process the messages. The plugins then execute the chains of plugins to specify actions for the devices to execute to provide a response to the incidents.

Abstract: A DRM system is provided wherein when a protected content unit is provided to an access device, the access information associated with the protected content unit is retrieved from the DRM server and provided to the access device in the same transaction in which the protected content unit is provided. Therefore, when the user seeks to access the protected content unit, the access request can be handled locally without the need to rely upon potentially constrained connectivity to the DRM server. The techniques described herein enable an access device to access content protected by a DRM system. When a protected content unit and access information is received at the access device, in one transaction, the protected content unit can be decrypted on the access device using the access information, and/or the access information can be used to enforce a DRM policy associated with the protected content unit.

Abstract: A data security incident correlation and dissemination system and method is disclosed. In an exemplary implementation of the system, a service provider of a managed security service receives incident information regarding data security incidents at different business organizations of the security service. One or more incident managers operated by different organizations send incident information, and a server system within the service provider's network creates aggregated data from the incident information received from the incident managers. The server system analyzes the aggregated data to create correlated incident records that include incident information from related data security incidents at the different organizations, and provides threat intelligence data based on the correlated incident records for the organizations. In embodiments, the server system can “push” threat intelligence data to the organizations, or the organizations can request the threat intelligence data from the server system.
