Abstract: Described herein are systems and methods for generating a cyber-deception strategy that adaptively implement a decoy file placement strategy for thwarting malicious activity on a computing network. The systems and methods can include a plurality of surveillance services that can monitor the evolving conditions and states of a target computing network. The information from the external surveillance services can be combined with one or more user defined parameters to serve as inputs to a system that can use the input data to generate a decoy file content and placement strategy so as to effect a cyber-deception strategy. In one or more examples, can identify one or more target objects to use as decoys and use the identified targeted objects as well as information about the target network, to generate a high-level guidelines that will be used to generate one or more deception plans for implementation on the target network.

Abstract: An apparatus, system, and method to modify the surface of a workpiece having an advanced material coating is provided. The advanced material coating is a diamond-like coating such as, for example, an amorphous carbon coating material. The technology provided includes a surface modification assembly that provides a photonic radiation source, such as a laser, that is tuned to the advance material such that the energy from the laser is absorbed by the surface to modify the bonds in the coating allowing a defined portion of the coating to be photodegraded and removed.

Abstract: A system and method of supplying insurance and financial benefits is provided. The method can include the step of entering into an insurance contract between a policyholder and an insurance provider. A beneficiary can be identified to be insured under the insurance contract and to receive selected benefits based on a significant health event for the policyholder. The selected benefits can be provided to the beneficiary upon an occurrence of the significant health event of the policyholder.
