  • Publication number: 20240121244
    Abstract: A risk-aware access control system and related methods are provided. In accordance with one aspect of the present disclosure, there is a provided a method of risk-aware access control, comprising: detecting a request to perform an action with respect to two factors, the factors being of a factor type selecting people, devices, documents, and location, wherein the factors are of a different factor type; determining a coupling associated with the requested action based on the factors of the requested action; determining a risk level associated with the coupling; denying the requested action in response to a determination that the risk level does not match a security policy; and allowing the requested action in response to a determination that the risk level matches the security policy.

  • Publication number: 20230057444
    Abstract: Systems and methods for compressing network data are provided. According to one implementation, a method includes the step of collecting raw telemetry data from a network environment. The raw telemetry data is collected as time-series datasets. The method also includes the step of compressing the time-series datasets by deploying the time-series datasets as a Deep Neural Network (DNN) in the network environment itself. The time-series datasets are configured to be substantially reconstructed from the DNN using predictive functionality of the DNN.

  • Publication number: 20220263842
    Abstract: Systems and methods for detecting intrusions, attacks, and sub-attacks launched against a network under observations are provided. A method, according to one implementation, includes obtaining network traffic information regarding data traffic in a network under observation and obtaining system log information regarding operations of the network under observation. The method further includes the step of inserting the network traffic information and system log information into one or more analysis procedures, where each analysis procedure is configured to detect a respective sub-attack of a multi-stage attack to which the network under observation is susceptible. Also, the method includes the step of combining the outputs of the one or more analysis procedures to detect whether one or more sub-attacks have been launched against the network under observation.

  • Patent number: 11341255
    Abstract: A document management system having context-based access control and related methods are provided. The document management system determines whether to perform user authentication based on derived context-information comprising one or a combination of derived user-context parameters and document-context parameters that provide additional context to document access requests.
