  • Patent number: 11386052
    Abstract: A system provides a way to scan protected electronic data via database schema collection. In particular, the system may comprise a database schema collection application which may aggregate physical database schema from all of the databases within the network environment. The system may further comprise a protected data scan application which may receive scan results from the database schema collection (e.g., by scanning metadata) and subsequently output the scan results to other applications and/or repositories. The protected data scan application may further report changes in database schema to account for new values and/or categories existing within the various databases.

  • Patent number: 10366129
    Abstract: A data security threat control and monitoring system and method described herein may provide visibility into users' activities and their access to sensitive information (e.g., social security number, addresses, fingerprints, and the like) in order to evaluate and mitigate, for example, insider data security threats. The system may monitor various types of activities, such as end users' behavior on applications and/or end users' access, downloads, and copies of sensitive data. The system may monitor for suspected or detected violations and incidents for applications, such as suspicious, disruptive, or policy-violating (actual or attempted) activities. A distributed file system may be used to extract data from one or more databases and to transform the data. The data may be processed, such as to generate distribution fact and dimension files. Servers, such as web servers, may generate reports indicating insider threat activity using the processed files.

  • Patent number: 9369348
    Abstract: A user interface can include an outage reporting section which has the option of adding of an outage by requesting outage information from the user and receiving the outage information from the user. An existing outage can also be viewed by providing the user with a search field for selecting an existing outage. The user interface can be configured to display information regarding the selected existing outage. The outage information from the user can be stored in a centralized database for viewing at a later time. A series of questions regarding the outage can presented to the user at a user interface, and the series of questions may include at least one drop-down menu with predetermined answers.
