Abstract: Methods and systems are described which facilitate protecting a virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) session. A first communication channel is established between a DRM component and a VDI service. The DRM component decrypts a video stream from the VDI service and overlays the decrypted video stream on a user's display.

Abstract: An apparatus and related method defend against adversarial queries. A policy enforcement hypergraph is constructed to express a set of security policies. Then, the hypergraph is repeatedly traversed to determine whether a user behavior is changing over time. The user behavior is measured by reference to a vertex or an edge in the hypergraph. If it is determined that the user behavior has changed over time an enforcement action is taken based on a security policy.

Abstract: Exemplary systems and methods are directed to training a machine learning model and for preventing leakage of training data by the machine learning model subsequent to training. A processor is configured to convert a sparse dataset into a matrix of plural data coordinates, generate a priority queue populated with the plural data coordinates, and iteratively select a data coordinate from the priority queue. Plural model values are calculated such that any zero value in the sparse dataset is avoided while maintaining a same result. A next feature is selected, and its weight is altered. Plural variables of the matrix are updated based on the altered weight value, and the priority queue is updated to adjust a priority of the data coordinates based on the update to the plural variables. The process is repeated for each next data coordinate until the model converges to a solution based on the model weights.
