  • Patent number: 10348740
    Abstract: Various embodiments of the present disclosure can include systems, methods, and non-transitory computer readable media configured to aggregate a plurality of threat signatures from a plurality of threat signature data sources. The bit stream data is analyzed, based on the plurality of threat signatures, to detect a first threat in the bit stream data. A result of analyzing the bit stream data is logged as threat analysis log data. The threat analysis log data is analyzed to detect a second threat in the bit stream data. The threat analysis log data may be analyzed based on a heuristic. An action is triggered based on analysis of the bit stream data, or based on heuristic analysis of the threat analysis log data.

  • Patent number: 9009098
    Abstract: A system extracts data from at least one database. The data is extracted into a data set. The system performs a transformation function on the data extracted into the data set. The transformation function is performed for the purpose of determining a preferred version of data from at least one database. The database is capable of being updated with the preferred version of data such that the database is capable of being synchronized with the centralized data store. The system loads the preferred version of data into the centralized data store.

  • Patent number: 7764683
    Abstract: A method and corresponding system for multicast provisioning of operating systems (OS) at reduced bandwidth. The method includes providing a computing device on a digital communications network. An OS image is stored in the computing device, with the image including data sets or chunks making up one or more phases of a system image. The method continues with associating a single multicast address with each of the data sets. The computing device broadcasts each of the data sets of the image along with the associated multicast address on the network as a repeating loop. The method includes sending a signal from the computing device to a set of nodes on the network to initiate a process for loading the stored image, and in response, operating the nodes to load a multicast installer that listens for the data sets and buffers received data packets in an image cache.
