Publication number: 20240135004Abstract: A system determines a baseline cyberthreat-risk score for a user, and displays the baseline cyberthreat-risk score via a user interface. The system presents at least one cyberthreat-education activity via the user interface, and receives, via the user interface, at least one user input associated with the presented at least one cyberthreat-education activity. The system generates an updated cyberthreat-risk score at least in part by updating the baseline cyberthreat-risk score based at least in part on the user input, and displays the updated cyberthreat-risk score via the user interface.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 4, 2024Publication date: April 25, 2024Inventors: Chad E.

Patent number: 11461343Abstract: Embodiments of the systems and methods disclosed herein provide a prescriptive analytics platform and polarity analysis engine in which a user can identify a target objective and use the system to find out whether the user's objectives are being met, what predictive factors are positively or negatively affecting the targeted objectives, as well as what recommended changes the user can make to better meet the objectives. The systems and methods may include a polarity analysis engine configured to determine the polarity of terms in free-text input in view of the target objective and the predictive factors and use the polarity to generate the recommended changes.Type: GrantFiled: February 4, 2021Date of Patent: October 4, 2022Assignee: Clearsense Acquisition 1, LLCInventors: Adrian Marc Bir, Nikolai Nikolaevich Liachenko, Daniel Brooks Presley

Patent number: 11294805Abstract: The disclosed technology generally describes efficient garbage collection operations based on chunk filters (e.g., Bloom filters) maintained in association with object table partitions (e.g., trees). When an object update impacts a chunk, a corresponding chunk filter is updated, using the chunk's identifier as a chunk filter key by hashing the chunk identifier into chunk filter locations and setting bits at those locations. When garbage collection occurs, a garbage collection candidate chunk's identifier is similarly hashed to read the bit values at those locations in the chunk filters for the partitions. If any bit is zero, the chunk is definitely not in use in a partition; if no chunk filter for any partition indicates the candidate chunk is possibly in use, the chunk is garbage collected without tree scanning. If tree scanning is needed, only the partition(s) with an associated chunk filter that indicates “possibly in use” need to be scanned.Type: GrantFiled: April 11, 2019Date of Patent: April 5, 2022Assignee: EMC IP HOLDING COMPANY LLCInventors: Mikhail Danilov, Daniel Brook

Patent number: 10884804Abstract: A method of generating a sequence of commands to gather information using a directed tree graph includes providing a plurality of goals, each goal having a weighting, and a set of commands that lead to completion of the goals. A directed tree graph is constructed comprising a root node, respective leaf nodes associated with the goals, and one or more parent nodes. Each node is associated with one command, the command having the potential to complete any goals associated with the node and all the goals associated with any subordinate nodes. The priority of each command is determined, based on the sum of the goal weightings of leaf nodes subordinate to the node associated with the command. One or more commands is executed, a command having a higher priority being executed before a command having a lower priority.Type: GrantFiled: October 23, 2017Date of Patent: January 5, 2021Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: David P.
