Abstract: A system for automatically monitoring efficacy of security controls in a computer network, including a probe engine configurable with at least one set of rules relating to access permissions to data in the computer network, at least one security probe forming part of the probe engine and operative to automatically place, at at least one storage location within the computer network and with access permissions that are non-compliant with the at least one set of rules, simulated data corresponding to the data in the computer network and attempt to access the simulated data following the placement thereof, using access privileges satisfying the non-compliant access permissions, and a security monitoring and reporting module operative to provide a user sensible output indicating at least whether the attempt to access the simulated data was successful and, if so, reporting mitigating activities by the security controls in response to the successful attempt.

Abstract: Methods and systems for processing waste materials and for manufacturing composite materials are disclosed herein. According to some embodiments, the heterogeneous waste includes a plastic component and a non-plastic component, and the non-plastic component includes a plurality of pieces of waste. The heterogeneous waste is heated to melt at least a portion of said plastic component and reducing a volume of said heterogeneous waste, and then mixed (e.g. by rotating a mixing chamber or by stirring) until at least some said pieces are each encapsulated by the melted plastic component. Upon cooling, the mixture optionally sets into a composite material. The presently disclosed invention does not require pre-sorting of the heterogeneous waste and is operative to process “as is” waste. Optionally, the waste is pre-sorted.
