Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer program products for data entry device security are provided. Aspects include receiving an indication of a user presence at a data entry device, wherein the data entry device includes a surface with apertures, and wherein the apertures include a material with a reflection coefficient. A presence of a fraud device is determined by emitting, from beneath the surface, security light from a set of one or more emitters, wherein the security light has a security light luminous power. A reflection of the security light off the material is collected by a first set of one or more sensors, wherein the reflection has a reflection luminous power. A luminous power range is determined based on the security light luminous power and the reflection coefficient and based on the reflection luminous power being outside the luminous power range, security measures are engaged at the data entry device.

Abstract: A method for routing data in a complex Storage Area Network (SAN) by a processor device is provided, and comprises in exchange based routing, reserving certain predefined Inter-Switch Links (ISLs) for use in routing certain predefined input/output (I/O) traffic across the SAN, such that the routing of other input/output (I/O) traffic remains unaffected and unchanged, the predefined input/output (I/O) traffic being subject to a specified path.

Abstract: A switch manager places one or more of the ports into an on-demand pool and are given a default standby state so that the ports are not utilized in normal network switch operation. The manager monitors switch operation conditions for an on-demand resource allocation event that causes the manager to allocate a port from the on-demand pool and configure the port in compliance with an operating configuration so that the newly allocated port may be utilized by the network node. The manager sets a network node status indicating that on-demand pool resources are being utilized and monitors for an operational configuration reduction event that causes the manager to return the port to the on-demand pool.

Abstract: A manager node provides discovery, translation, and mapping services for supported Ethernet protocol layers. The manager node discovers other nodes within the cloud environment and issues commands to each of the discovered nodes to obtain storage device specific information associated to storage devices communicatively connected to the discovered nodes. The storage device information obtained may include such things as device function (initiator or target), device model number, device capacity, and available storage (free), etc. When the manager node has gathered the storage device specific information it may create a list of all feasible storage devices that could be utilized within the cloud environment. The manager node may determine which of the discovered storage devices will be enabled. Subsequently, the manager node map may serve as an address translator and/or a gateway between protocols.

Abstract: Methods, computer systems, and computer program products for improving resiliency in computing components functioning according to a multilayered Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) model in a network architecture running Ethernet or Internet protocols by a processor device are provided. Upon detection of at least one of a certain event within a specified layer of a network architecture, a notification of the event is provided in an inter-layer basis, such that the responsible entity manages the event according to an OSI model-wide system.

Abstract: An example system includes a processor to receive a source code and history information, wherein the history information includes a version control history or a defect history, or a combination of the version control history and the defect history. The processor is to also divide the source code into security-related components and security-non-related components. The processor is to further calculate security metrics for each of the security-related components and each of the security-non-related components based on the history information. The processor is also to compare the security metrics of the security-related components with the security metrics of the security-non-related components. The processor is to further generate a visual representation comprising a highlighted area of concern based on the comparison.
