Abstract: A system for updating a security patch based on simulating different security protocols across multiple machines is disclosed. The system communicates malicious network traffic to testing computing devices. The system triggers execution of a first security protocol to a first testing computing device and a second security protocol to a second testing computing device. The first security protocol is configured to implement a first software instruction. The second security protocol is configured to implement a second software instruction. The system determines that the first software instruction is configured to counter the effect of the malicious network traffic. The system determines that the second software instruction is associated with an anomaly. In response, the system communicates the first security protocol and an instruction that causes the execution of the first security protocol to user devices.

Abstract: A system for detecting and addressing security threats is disclosed. The system detects incoming network traffic to a computing device. The system detects physical and digital effects of the network traffic on the computing device. The system determines that the network traffic is causing a first set of anomalies based on the physical and digital effects of the network traffic. The system compares the first set of anomalies with a second set of anomalies associated with previously known malicious network traffic. If the system determines that more than a threshold percentage of the first set of anomalies corresponds to counterpart anomalies from the second set of anomalies, the system determines that the network traffic corresponds to the malicious network traffic. The system communicates a security patch associated with the second set of anomalies and instructions that cause the security patch to be executed to the computing device.

Abstract: One or more computing devices, systems, and/or methods for performing entity actions based upon inputs received via email interfaces are provided. For example, an email received by an email account may be identified. The email may be associated with an entity action corresponding to a first entity. A selectable input corresponding to performing the entity action may be displayed via an email interface associated with the email account.

Responsive to receiving the request, an action interface corresponding to performing the entity action may be displayed within the email interface. One or more inputs associated with the entity action may be received via the action interface. Responsive to determining that the entity action is completed, a confirmation message, indicative of the entity action being completed, may be displayed using the email interface.

The processor stores the validation test including the command on a memory device, and prior to the failure of the activity by the server, executes the validation test including the command responsive to an input. The processor receives results of the validation test corresponding to the command and indicating whether the server performed the activity in accordance with a standard for the activity during the validation test. The processor provides the results of the validation test in a user interface.

Abstract: An online system receives a request to confirm a transaction that is associated with an order. The system accepts or declines the transaction based on whether an amount associated with the pending transaction is likely to exceed an expected amount of the order by more than a threshold value. To determine the threshold, the system trains a first model to predict an overspend for an order and then trains a second model to predict an amount of error associated with the predictions from the first model. The outputs of the first model and the second model provide a mean and a variance for an expected distribution of the overspend. If the actual overspend amount for the transaction exists in too high of a percentile of the distribution, the transaction may be flagged for review or declined.
