Abstract: Systems and methods for facilitating handover reduction in satellite systems are disclosed. A system may include a processor and a memory storing instructions, which when executed by the processor, may cause the processor to detect a user terminal that is selected for a handover procedure. The handover procedure may facilitate a switch from a source beam to a target beam. Based on input data, the processor may evaluate an ideal time value pertaining to a pre-defined time instance at which a scheduled handover is to be performed. The scheduled handover may correspond to at least one of a scheduled change in operating frequency within same beam or a scheduled feeder link handover due to a change in gateway communicating with the satellite. Based on the evaluation and the input data, the processor may estimate an optimized time value that pertains to an optimized time instance associated with an expected handover reduction.

Abstract: Embodiments provide for a security information and event management (SIEM) system utilizing distributed agents that can intelligently traverse a network to exfiltrate data in an efficient and secure manner. A plurality of agent devices can dynamically learn behavioral patterns and/or service capabilities of other agent devices in the networking environment, and select optimal routes for exfiltrating event data from within the network. The agent devices can independently, selectively, or collectively pre-process event data for purposes of detecting a suspect event from within the network. When a suspect event is detected, agent devices can select a target device based on the learned service capabilities and networking environment, and communicate the pre-processed event data to the target device. The pre-processed event data is thus traversed through the network along an optimal route until it is exfiltrated from the network and stored on a remote server device for storage and further analysis.
