  • Publication number: 20260252875
    Abstract: An approach is provided for access control management. Experts included in a mixture of experts (MoE) architecture are trained. A router selects a set of experts from the MoE model architecture as having greatest probabilities of being relevant to a data point received at the router. An expert in the set is identified as not having a privilege allowing access to the data point. A masking mechanism masks out the identified expert from the selected set of experts and identifies a previously unselected expert that has a next greatest probability of being relevant to the data point. It is determined that the identified previously unselected expert has the privilege allowing access to the data point. Based on the identified previously unselected expert having the privilege allowing the access to the data point, the identified previously unselected expert is added to the selected set of experts.

  • Publication number: 20260252721
    Abstract: An approach is provided for controlling access to internal knowledge in a language model (LM). Data from one or more of data sources on which the LM is trained is stored in a vector store. Data segments in the stored data are tagged to indicate origin data sources. A user prompt is received for an information retrieval system that uses the LM to generate answers to user prompts. The user prompt is provided by a user having a document access privilege. Documents are retrieved from the vector store by using the user prompt, an answer to the user prompt, or a combination of the user prompt and the answer. Access requirements for the retrieved documents are identified based on the tagged data segments. Based on the retrieved documents, the identified access requirements, and the privilege, it is determined whether to present the answer to the user.

  • Patent number: 12591704
    Abstract: Entity-wide database asset index generation is provided. An entity-wide database asset index corresponding to an entity is generated identifying all observed database instances across a plurality of database servers by each respective security monitoring system of a plurality of different security monitoring systems corresponding to the entity and one or more linked sets of same database instances observed by more than one security monitoring system of the plurality of different security monitoring systems. Security analytics are performed on the entity-wide database asset index that identifies all of the observed database instances across the plurality of database servers by each respective security monitoring system of the plurality of different security monitoring systems corresponding to the entity and the one or more linked sets of same database instances observed by more than one security monitoring system of the plurality of different security monitoring systems to detect any database security threats.

  • Publication number: 20250259542
    Abstract: Apparatus, systems, and/or methods may involve reporting a road hazard. Road hazard data may be collected for an object on a road, which may include automatically generated data from a device associated with the object causing a hazard. The road hazard data may be provided to a service, an application, a device, a client, and so on. For example, the road hazard data may be merged with a map and provided to a map services client, a navigation client, and so on. An alert may be generated based on the road hazard data to warn of the hazard caused by the object. The alert may include a visual and/or audio representation of the hazard data. The alert may be used to automatically and/or manually avoid the hazard.

  • Patent number: 11956257
    Abstract: A method for classifying domains to malware families includes identifying a corpus of malicious domains, identifying one or more suspicious domains, extracting a timeframe corresponding to the one or more suspicious domains, calculating a rank coefficient between the one or more suspicious domains and a current seed domain of the corpus of malicious domains, determining whether the rank correlation coefficient exceeds a rank threshold for the one or more suspicious domains, comparing a number of suspicious domains whose correlation coefficients exceed the rank threshold to a relation threshold, and responsive to determining the number of suspicious domains whose correlation coefficients exceed the rank threshold exceeds the relation threshold, applying a tag to the suspicious domains indicating that the one or more suspicious domains correspond to a same malware family as the current seed domain.

  • Patent number: 10728250
    Abstract: Aspects of the present invention disclose a method, computer program product, and system for updating a whitelist. The method includes one or more processors identifying candidates for a whitelist based on correlations between candidates and web domains in the whitelist. The method further includes one or more processors extracting textual information and image information from the whitelist candidates. The method further includes one or more processors classifying the candidates for the whitelist into groups of candidates based on a comparison of the extracted information from the whitelist candidates and information associated with the web domains existing in the whitelist. The method further includes one or more processors determining candidates to add to the whitelist based upon a similarity measure ranking between the web domains existing in the whitelist and the candidates for a whitelist. The method further includes one or more processors updating the whitelist to include the determined candidates.
