  • Patent number: 11704405
    Abstract: This disclosure provides techniques for pooling and searching network security events reported by multiple sources. As information representing a security event is received from one source, it is searched against a central or distributed database representing events reported from multiple, diverse sources (e.g., different client networks). Either the search or correlated results can be filtered and/or routed according at least one characteristic associated with the networks, for example, to limit correlation to events reported by what are presumed to be similarly situated networks. The disclosed techniques facilitate faster identification of high-relevancy security event information, and thereby help facilitate faster threat identification and mitigation. Various techniques can be implemented as standalone software (e.g., for use by a private network) or for a central pooling and/or query service. This disclosure also provides different examples of actions that can be taken in response to search results.

  • Patent number: 11539720
    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for computer network threat assessment. For example, methods may include receiving from client networks respective threat data and storing the respective threat data in a security event database; maintaining affiliations for groups of the client networks; detecting correlation between a network threat and one of the groups; identifying an indicator associated with the network threat, and, dependent on the affiliation for the group, identifying a client network and generating a message, which conveys an alert to the client network, comprising the indicator; responsive to the message, receiving, from the client network, a report of detected correlation between the indicator and security event data maintained by the client network; and updating the security event database responsive to the report of detected correlation.

  • Publication number: 20170261198
    Abstract: A lamp for use with a computer, including cell phones and pads, comprises a body having a slot formed along its length for engaging the computer, by slipping over the edge of the computer's screen. The lamp includes a translucent cylinder, rotatably supported on the lamp body and supporting a parallel string of LEDs. A portion of the cylinder has an opaque cover so that the direction and intensity of the light cast by the lamp may be adjusted by rotating the cylinder.
