Abstract: In embodiments of the present invention improved capabilities are described for identifying unauthorized endpoints. The present invention includes computer implemented methods and systems for actively polling and monitoring network devices, such as network routers and switches, to obtain information on any or all of the endpoints on a network with which the router or switch may have communicated. Address information acquired through polling is compared with an authorized endpoint list, which is generated from information reported to the store by security agents on the authorized endpoints and which is stored in a security compliance store, in order to identify unauthorized endpoints. Methods and systems disclosed herein also include remediation measures to be taken on the unauthorized endpoints. Related user interfaces, applications, and computer program products are disclosed.

Abstract: In embodiments of the present invention improved capabilities are described for automated recovery from a security event. Automated recovery includes detecting a security event, using metadata to select a target backup for recovery, bringing the recovered environment online in a quarantine mode, initiating automated recovery of the environment, and running at least one of a generic remediation process and a specific remediation process in the quarantine mode prior to releasing the environment from quarantine mode. Related user interfaces, applications, and computer program products are disclosed.

Abstract: A paving system comprising a support frame, porous material above the support frame and pavers above the porous material, suitable in certain configurations to have mirror image support frames suspendable at their inner points from the outer periphery, and fitting about a tree or other object.

Abstract: An improved peening tool comprising a cylindrical body having a plurality of holes each adapted to receive a spherically shaped ball bearing. A sleeve member having a plurality of holes is located over the cylindrical body so that each hole in said sleeve is aligned with the hole in said cylindrical body. The diameter of the hole in the sleeve is less than the diameter of the spherically shaped ball. A rotatable driver body is located within said cylindrical body and contains an even number of individual rotatable hammers adapted to sequentially contact said spherical balls. During operation each hammer is free to rotate about its own axis thereby presenting a new contacting point for moving the spherical balls.
