Abstract: The present disclosure relates to methods and systems to settle a transaction involving a plurality of digital assets, comprising receiving a notification of a proposed transaction comprising a plurality of proposed component atomic transactions that atomically transfer at least a portion of the plurality of digital assets from one or more transferring nodes to one or more receiving nodes. The method further comprises at least in part determining or verifying that each transferring and receiving computer node is cryptographically authorized to receive and/or transfer at least some of the plurality of digital assets, and that each transferring and receiving computer node has a sufficient amount of the plurality of digital assets. The method further comprises sending an authorization notification to at least one execution node to transfer the plurality of digital assets from the transferring computer nodes to the receiving computer nodes to settle the proposed transaction.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a system for locking a digital asset. In one implementation, the system may include a first computer node that reads a private data store associated with the first computer node and/or reads a distributed ledger to confirm a digital asset is unlocked and can be transferred from the first computer node. The first computer node cryptographically signs and sends a proposed digital lock to a second computer node. When activated, the digital lock prevents transfer of the digital asset from the first computer node to another computer node that is not the second computer node. The first computer node also reads a distributed ledger to confirm the distributed ledger contains the digital lock in an activated state. The first computer node transfers the digital asset from the first computer node to the second computer node.

Abstract: Techniques are described for providing on-premises action execution agents used to execute orchestration, automation, and response (OAR) actions in users' IT environments. An on-premises action execution agent can be used to execute actions involving computing resources located in users' on-premises IT environments, where such resources may be located behind a firewall and thus not directly accessible to an IT and security operations application running in a cloud-based environment or elsewhere. An intermediary secure tunnel service is used to establish secure connections between an IT and security operations application and on-premises action execution agents, thereby enabling the encrypted transfer of credentials, API tokens, and other sensitive information used by an on-premises action execution agent to execute actions. The executed actions can include on-demand actions initiated by a user and automated actions included, e.g.

Abstract: A computer network of an enterprise includes a central management computer linking at least one trusted host computer with at least one user computer. The trusted host computer is not used for normal day-to-day activities within the enterprise, and may also not be used for reading electronic mail nor for accessing the Internet and downloading Web site content. Antivirus software on the user computer screens for suspect activity or features and, if found, the suspect activity or features are compared to rules database. If a determination of malware cannot be made, then these unresolved activities or features are sent to the central management computer to be compared to the trusted, known activities and features of the trusted computer. The suspect activities may be deemed acceptable if activities are shared amongst a certain number of user computers all configured to perform the same function. A user computer may be compared against itself over time.

Abstract: Computer implemented methods, apparati, and computer-readable media for empirically adjusting access to a database (1). An apparatus embodiment comprises: coupled to the database (1), a database discovery module (11) for determining authorized accesses to the database (1); coupled to the database (1), a command monitoring module (12) for monitoring actual accesses to the database (1); and coupled to the database discovery module (11) and to the command monitoring module (12), an analysis module (13) for comparing actual accesses with authorized accesses.
