  • Patent number: 11830098
    Abstract: Disclosed are various examples for audio data leak prevention using user and device contexts. In some examples, a voice assistant device can be connected to a remote service that provides enterprise data to be audibly emitted by the voice assistant device. In response to a request for the enterprise data being received from the voice assistant device, an audio signal can be generated that audibly broadcasts the enterprise data. The audio signal can be generated to audibly redact at least a portion of the enterprise data based at least in part on a mode of operation of the voice assistant device. The voice assistant device can be directed to emit the enterprise data through a playback of the audio signal.

  • Publication number: 20230289463
    Abstract: Systems and methods can allow for secure cross-device sharing of transient data using direct transient data sharing (“DTDS”). A source destination can share data using local DTDS with an agent on a first device. The agent can send the data to a hub server that runs a security control process and data formatting process. The hub server can determine risk scores for the source and destination devices and allow the sharing to occur if a safety threshold is met. Then an agent on the destination device can receive the transient data and use local DTDS to send the data to a destination application.

  • Patent number: 11721116
    Abstract: Disclosed are various embodiments that relate to a system or a method for managing individual actions. In one example, among others, a system includes a client device that is configured to display a camera user interface for capturing an image and identify an action that stores the image captured in the memory. An image tag that describes the image is generated. The client device is configured to determine that the image has enterprise content based on the image tag and determine an enterprise policy to apply to the enterprise content. Text content from the image is extracted based on the enterprise policy. The client device is configured to display a user interface that includes the text content extracted from the image and transmit the text content of the image to an application based on the enterprise policy.

  • Patent number: 11570165
    Abstract: Disclosed are various approaches for authenticating a user through a voice assistant device and creating an association between the device and a user account. The request is associated with a network or federated service. The user is prompted to use a client device, such as a smartphone, to facilitate an authentication flow. A soundwave is played through the client device that contains a secret key, which is then sent to a service that validates the secret key. An association between the user account and the voice assistant device can then be created so that access to third party services can occur.

  • Patent number: 11443006
    Abstract: Systems and methods are described for managing saved web pages on a user device. In an example, when a user bookmarks a web page at the user device, the user device can send the bookmark to a server. A service on the server can gather information about web page and associate a plurality of tags with the web page based on that information. The service can compare the web page's tags to tags of other previously bookmarked web pages to identify a possible matching web page. The service can perform a semantic similarity analysis between the two web pages to determine whether their similarity exceeds a threshold. Where the similarity does exceed the threshold, the service can notify the user device. The user device can notify the user and present options for the new bookmarked web page.

  • Patent number: 11418543
    Abstract: Disclosed are various approaches for automating the detection and identification of security issues. A plurality of signals received from a plurality of security devices are analyzed to identify a predicted security incident, each of the plurality of signals indicating a potential security issue. A confidence score is then calculated for the predicted security incident. At least one compliance policy is then evaluated to determine whether to perform a remedial action specified in the compliance policy, wherein a determination to perform the remedial action is based at least in part on the confidence score. Finally, the remedial action is performed in response to an evaluation of the at least one compliance policy.
