  • Patent number: 10621360
    Abstract: Mechanisms are provided for correlating security vulnerability detection across multiple applications. The mechanisms perform a security vulnerability analysis of first source code of a first application, and identify, based on results of the security vulnerability analysis, a security vulnerability in a first portion of the first source code. The mechanisms associate characteristics of the security vulnerability with the first portion, and correlate the characteristics of the security vulnerability with second source code of a second application based on the association of the characteristics of the security vulnerability with the first portion. In addition, the mechanisms generate an output to a computing device of a consumer or contributor associated with the second source code identifying a presence of the security vulnerability in the second source code based on the correlation.

  • Patent number: 10223535
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method improves a computer system's security. A description of real-time trends, for multiple computer security issues from a third party resource is associated with multiple security routines for a computer system. The multiple security routines are sorted according to the real-time trends, such that the sorting establishes an order of priority for running each of the multiple security routines based on the real-time trends. A percentage of sorted security routines to execute on the computer system is executed in their order of priority to identify one or more computer security issues for the computer system. One or more processors then execute a resolution program to resolve the one or more computer security issues that are identified for the computer system.

  • Patent number: 9906472
    Abstract: A navigation bar is provided for switching between modules within an expanded communication service such as email, calendar, contacts, tasks, etc. and for presenting preview peeks associated with each module to a user. A temporary preview of a module may be provided upon a hover action over predefined navigation bar locations such as icons and/or textual identifiers without actually needing to switch to a module. The preview may also be docked or pinned to a location on the main user interface so that it is displayed within the main user interface. New or interesting activity within each module may be highlighted by displaying an information badge next to a module name, for example.

  • Patent number: 9904437
    Abstract: A minimized state navigation bar is provided for switching between modules within an expanded communication service such as email, calendar, contacts, tasks, etc. and for presenting preview peeks associated with each module to a user. The minimized state may be selected automatically based on user interface context or user action. A temporary preview of a module may be provided upon a hover action over the icons without actually needing to switch to a module. The preview may also be docked or pinned to a location on the main user interface so that it is displayed within the main user interface. New or interesting activity within each module may be highlighted by displaying an information badge next to an icon, for example.

A temporary preview of a module may be provided upon a hover action over predefined navigation bar locations such as icons and/or textual identifiers without actually needing to switch to a module. One or more preview panes may be docked or pinned to a dynamically selected or user defined location on the main user interface so that they are permanently displayed within the main user interface. Users may be enabled to undock one or more of the docked preview panes through a user interface control. New or interesting activity within each module may be highlighted by displaying an information badge next to a module name, for example.
