The application is further configured to determine whether an opted-out customer meets a criterion to be prompted to opt back into receiving the promotional communications. Also, the application is configured to associate a prompt with a network content item to send to a client. The prompt is configured to initiate a re-selection of the option status of the customer if manipulated by the customer at the client.

Abstract: A network protection service for providing protective assistance to a subscribing host is presented. The network protection service is configured determine a set of rules for filtering network traffic for a subscribing host. The network protection service is further configured to receive network traffic on behalf of the subscribing host, filter the received network traffic according to the set of rules, and forward a portion of the filtered network traffic to the subscribing host. Still further, the network protection service is configured to analyze the received network traffic via the analysis server, and refine the set of rules for filtering the received network traffic based on the analysis of the received network traffic by the analysis server.

Abstract: According to aspects of the disclosed subject matter, a network protection service for processing network traffic to assist a network site is presented. The network protection service is communicatively coupled to the network site over a network, and is configured to detect that the network site is experiencing adverse network conditions. Upon detecting that the network site is experiencing adverse network conditions, the network protection service causes that a portion of the network traffic intended for the network site is rerouted to the network protection service. The network protection service then forwards a portion of the network traffic rerouted to the network protection service to the network site.

Abstract: Certain embodiments herein relate to modeling relationships between users, network elements, and events in an organization. Organizational information regarding users and network elements may be collected and analyzed to create a relationship graph relating users and network elements. The relationship graph may include nodes representing users and network elements and edges connecting pairs of users and/or network elements. The edges may be weighted based on a number of factors, such as operational dependencies, user preferences for receiving information associated with events, and a user's historical actions, which may determine whether a user may receive an event. A relationship graph as described herein may be leveraged to provide various uses, including generating a relationship subgraph that may allow users to identify the impact of events on other users and network elements in an organization.

Abstract: A network protection service is presented. The network protection service is configured to establish an arrangement with a subscribing host for providing assistance to the subscribing host upon detection of a triggering condition. A set of rules corresponding to the subscribing host for filtering network traffic directed to the subscribing host is determined. The network protection service monitors for a triggering condition for providing protective assistance for the subscribing host, and upon detection of a triggering condition, provides protective assistance to the subscribing host. The protective assistance includes causing network traffic directed to the subscribing host to be rerouted to the network protection service. The protective assistance further includes filtering the network traffic rerouted to the network protection service according to the set of rules corresponding to the subscribing host. At least some of the filtered network traffic is forwarded to the subscribing host.

Abstract: A network protection service for providing protective assistance to a subscribing host on a network is disclosed. The network protection service is configured to establish a relationship with a subscribing host also connected to the network. Moreover, based on the established relationship with the subscribing host, the network protection service is configured to detect a condition for providing protective assistance to the subscribing host. Upon detecting the condition, the network protection service provides protective assistance to the subscribing host. Providing protective assistance to the subscribing host comprises rerouting network traffic directed to the subscribing host to the network protection service, filtering the network traffic rerouted to the network protection service, and forwarding the filtered network traffic to the subscribing host.

Abstract: A method for providing protective assistance to a network site is presented. As implemented by a network protection service communicatively coupled to the network site via a network, the method comprises monitoring for a condition to provide protective assistance to the network site. Upon detecting that condition, the method includes causing network traffic directed to the network site be rerouted to the network protection service. Further still, determination is made as to whether a request in the rerouted network traffic corresponds to a request for information cached in a data store and, if so, responding with the cached information from the data store. Yet further, a portion of the rerouted network traffic is forwarded to the network site, the forwarded rerouted network traffic not including the request for cached information found in the data store.
