  • Publication number: 20240113974
    Abstract: Mobile management method, system and client. Method includes receiving a DNS query for a host name from an application on client; retrieving reputation data associated with host name from a local cache on client; and determining a policy based on host name and the reputation data. Based on determined policy for the host name, blocking attempted network flows to a host corresponding to host name to produce blocked attempted network flows. Method also includes sending attempted network flow metadata related to the blocked attempted network flows to a collector on client; transmitting the attempted network flow metadata from the collector to a VPN server pool via a VPN tunnel; and producing an anomaly report from the transmitted attempted network flow metadata. The anomaly report includes at least one of anomalies, cohorts, trends, location boundaries, detected network security issues, detected compromised clients and/or optimized network usage.

  • Patent number: 7332272
    Abstract: The present invention describes the use of molecular expression profiles in the primary screening of compounds for pharmacological activity. In some embodiments, the methods of the invention comprise characterizing a profile of expression levels of a number of distinct biological molecules for two distinct sample types (A and B) that differ by some relevant parameter, in order to characterize the difference between the two types in terms of expression profile. Following this, one of the types (B) is treated with an analyte of unknown activity relative to the parameter by which the sample types differ. The expression profile of treated B is then measured and compared with the expression profiles of A and untreated B to ascertain whether the analyte has induced a shift in the profile of B to more closely or more distantly resemble the profile of A in some meaningful way.
