  • Patent number: 9342697
    Abstract: One embodiment relates to an apparatus for creating and managing security policies for data leakage prevention. The apparatus includes a database which stores three layers of objects comprising digital assets, content templates, and security policies, and a user interface configured to access said database so as to provide for input and editing of said three layers of objects. The security policies may include at least a target element, an action element, and a condition element. A content template may be used to form the condition element. Content templates may include compliance templates which are configured to satisfy specific regulatory requirements and other templates to protect specified types of information. Other embodiments, aspects and features are also disclosed.

  • Patent number: 9203623
    Abstract: One embodiment relates to an apparatus configured to match a list of keywords against a target document. The apparatus includes data storage configured to store computer-readable instruction code and data, and a processor configured to access the data storage and to execute said computer-readable instruction code. The apparatus further includes a keyword searcher and a keyword object generator. The keyword searcher is configured to receive the list of keywords and a textual string corresponding to the target document file, and search the textual string for instances of the keywords so as to generate a sequence of keyword instances. The keyword object generator implemented using the instruction code and configured to receive the sequence of keyword instances, and generate a keyword object, wherein the keyword object includes a range-dependent match function. Other embodiments and features are also disclosed.

  • Patent number: 8266150
    Abstract: A document signature index and search system is disclosed. The logical structure of the signature index that includes search tables is defined. Also specified is a system of creating, managing and using the signature index. The system includes an index engine and search engine. The search tables are compact in disk usage and suitable for differential computation, making large scale deployment feasible. With the introduction of meta-data and an algorithm of multiple value dual binary searching, the search engine based on the search tables is very efficient in searching for signatures from large search tables which may store millions of signatures. Other embodiments, aspects and features are also disclosed.

  • Patent number: 8171002
    Abstract: A system and a method generates at least one signature associated with document. In one embodiment, a document comprised of text is received and parsed to generate a token set. The token set includes a plurality of tokens. Each token corresponds to the text in the document that is separated by a predefined character characteristic. A score is calculated for each token in the token set based on a frequency and distribution of the text in the document. Each token is then ranked based on the calculated score. A subset of the ranked tokes is selected and a signature is generated for each occurrence of the selected tokens. The selected list of signatures is then output.

  • Patent number: 7747642
    Abstract: A system generates an output of documents having with a particular relevance range. The system receives an initial document comprising text, a list of documents for matching, each document comprising text, and a minimum substring match length. The system normalizes the text of the documents of the list of documents. The system searches common sub-strings between the text of the initial document and the text of each document of the list of documents. The system calculates a match percentage based on the search common sub-strings and outputs documents having a match percentage corresponding to a predetermined value. Also disclosed is a process for generating an output of documents within a particular relevance range.
