  • Patent number: 11941156
    Abstract: The disclosed computer-implemented method for managing privacy policy violations may include obtaining, by the computing device, an intermediate representation of a privacy policy, wherein the intermediate representation denotes a formal policy and is generated by extracting the privacy policy in natural language from a website and parsing the privacy policy. The method may also include comparing, by the computing device, behavior of the website against the intermediate representation, thereby detecting at least one violation of the formal policy. The method may further include enforcing, by the computing device, the formal policy at least in part by taking a security action in response to the violation. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.

  • Patent number: 10877946
    Abstract: A computer system stores incident records in a database. When a user wants to resolve a particular current incident, the computer system will access the current incident record from an incident queue. The computer system also identifies historical incident records that share one or more attributes with the current incident record. The computer system creates a plurality of clusters from the current incident record and the selected historical incident records. The clusters are then arranged into a hierarchical tree. This hierarchical tree is presented in a graphical user interface. A user can select a node to access additional information for that node. The computer system generates a first suggested response to a particular current incident based on the incident records included in the selected node. The computer system presents the first suggested response to the particular current incident in a graphical user interface.
