Publication number: 20200296173Abstract: A discovery application may obtain, from a remote storage system configured to host storage structures, first data that identifies relationships among the storage structures. The discovery application may generate, based on the first data, a mapping of the storage structures, store the mapping as one or more configuration items, and provide, to the remote storage system, instructions configured to cause the remote storage system to notify the discovery application of modification events associated with the storage structures. The discovery application may receive, from the remote storage system, a notification of a modification event associated with a particular storage structure of the storage structures and, in response, obtain, from the remote storage system, second data that identifies a modification to the particular storage structure. The discovery application may modify the mapping based on the second data and store the modified mapping by updating the one or more configuration items.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 1, 2020Publication date: September 17, 2020Inventors: Alexandra Feiguine, Aviya Aron, Robert Bitterfeld, Bary Solomon, Noam Biran, Hail Tal

Publication number: 20200293502Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to a discovery process that enables discovery of database management systems (DBMSs) hosted by at least one client device of a client network. The disclosed discovery process involves a discovery server disposed on the client network accessing the client device hosting the DBMS to collect configuration item (CI) data on the configuration and operation of management, extraction, and replication processes of the DBMS. More specifically, this discovery process involves the discovery server requesting and receiving certain CI data from the management process of the DBMS, requesting and receiving certain CI data from an operating system (OS) of the client devices, as well as parsing and retrieving certain CI data from configuration and report files of the DBMS. Additionally, the disclosed discovery process is designed to be performed without being granted special or additional privileges within the DBMS itself.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 14, 2019Publication date: September 17, 2020Inventors: Hail Tal, Shay Herzog, Shiri Hameiri, Tom Bar Oz

Publication number: 20200236187Abstract: A system includes a configuration management database (CMDB). Application programming interface (API) proxies associated with a managed network provide access to resources. The system also includes a discovery application configured to perform operations including determining a proxy uniform resource locator (URL) used to provide access to a particular resource of the resources through an API proxy of the API proxies and obtaining, from a computing device associated with the API proxy, an assignment of proxy URLs to corresponding target URLs by the API proxy. Each target URL of the corresponding target URLs address a respective resource of the resources. The proxy URLs are used to provide access to the resources through the API proxy. The operations also include selecting, from the assignment, a target URL assigned to the proxy URL, generating a mapping between the proxy URL and the target URL, and storing the mapping in the CMDB.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 17, 2019Publication date: July 23, 2020Inventors: Hail Tal, Tom Bar Oz, Daniel Badyan, Boris Erblat, Alexandra Feiguine, Aviya Aron, Robert Bitterfeld, Bary Solomon

Publication number: 20200236163Abstract: Systems, methods, and media are used to identify phishing attacks. A notification of a phishing attempt with a parameter associated with a recipient of the phishing attempt is received at a security management node. In response, an indication of the phishing attempt is presented in a phishing attempt search interface. The phishing attempt search interface may be used to search for additional recipients, identify which recipients have been successfully targeted, and provide a summary of the recipients. Using this information, appropriate security measures in response to the phishing attempt for the recipients may be performed.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 18, 2019Publication date: July 23, 2020Inventors: Noam Biran, Hail Tal, Boris Erblat, Tom Bar Oz, Daniel Badyan
