  • Publication number: 20170041342
    Abstract: Disclosed are systems and method for utilizing a dedicated computer security service. An exemplary method includes storing in an electronic database rules that indicate when to use either a first cloud service or a second cloud service for one of the security services, receiving a request from a client computer to access the security service, determining parameters relating to the received request, applying the parameters to the plurality of rules to determine an instruction indicating whether to transmit the request to the first cloud service or the second cloud service; and transmitting the request to either the first cloud service or the second cloud service, based on the instruction, to use the at least one security service.

  • Publication number: 20170011220
    Abstract: Disclosed are systems and methods for controlling opening of computer files by vulnerable applications. An example method includes: detecting a request from a software application to open a computer file on the user computer; determining one or more parameters of the file; determining a file access policy based on the parameters of the file, wherein the file access policy specifies at least access rights of the software application to the resources of the user computer; identifying vulnerabilities of the software application; determining an application launching policy for the software application based at least on the determined vulnerabilities, wherein the application launching policy specifies at least whether opening of the file is permitted or prohibited; and controlling opening of the file on the user computer and accessing of the computer resources by the software application working with the opened file based on the file access policy and application launching policy.

  • Publication number: 20160258974
    Abstract: An air pressure probe (APP) relates to the field of aviation and is intended to determine aircraft flight parameters or wind tunnel flow parameters. The APP comprises a head part with intake holes located thereon, which are connected by channels to couplers, and a support, attached to the head part from behind. The surface of the head part is provided with flow vortex generators. The generators can be in the form of indentations or protrusions of various shapes on the surface of the air pressure probe, or in the form of ribs formed as a result of the mating of elements of the flat or curved planes that form the surfaces of the head part and the support. The technical result is an increased operational range of measurement and a wider field of practical application.

  • Patent number: 8819774
    Abstract: Disclosed are systems, methods and computer program products for protecting cloud security services from unauthorized access and malware attacks. In one example, a cloud server receives one or more queries from security software of the user device. The server analyzes a system state and configuration of the user device to determine the level of trust associated with the user device. The server also analyzes the one or more queries received from the security software to determine whether to update the level of trust associated with the user device. The server determines, based on the level of trust, how to process the one or more queries. Finally, the server provides responses to the one or more queries from the security software based on the determination of how to process the one or more queries.

  • Patent number: 7640589
    Abstract: A system, method and computer program product for detection of false positives occurring during execution of anti-malware applications. The detection and correction of the false positives is implemented in two phases, before creation of new anti-virus databases (i.e., malware black lists) or before creation of new white lists, and after the anti-virus databases or new white lists are created and new false positives are detected. The system calculates a probability of detection of a certain potential malware object. Based on this probability, the system decides to either correct a white list (i.e., a collection of known clean objects) or update a black list (i.e., a collection of known malware objects). A process is separated into a several steps: creation and update (or correction) of white lists; creation and update of black lists; detection of collisions between these lists and correction of black lists or white lists based on the detected collisions.
