  • Analytics and deduplication for air-gapped log analysis
    Patent number: 9996545
    Abstract: A system and method for deduplicating analyzing system logs is disclosed. The method includes capturing, by an image acquisition component, an image of at least one log entry, converting, by an image processing component, text in the image of the at least one log entry to machine-encoded text, and scanning, by a log scanning component, the machine-encoded text for the at least one redundant copy of the at least one log entry. The method also includes removing, by the log scanning component, the at least one redundant copy of the at least one log entry, determining, by a log analysis component, if the at least one log entry is significant, flagging the at least one log entry if the log entry is significant, and alerting a user if the log entry is flagged.

  • Automated management of confidential data in cloud environments
    Patent number: 9996698
    Abstract: A shared networked storage may be separated from a key vault system. A storage request with data to be stored and the storage request with a confidentiality rating may be received. The confidentiality rating may indicate a level of confidentiality the data is associated with. The storage request with the data and the confidentiality rating may be received via a shared networked storage access interface by a security layer. The data to be stored by the key vault system and the confidentiality rating may be encrypted on request of the security layer and into a data container. The shared networked storage may be categorized into Cloud zones. Each Cloud zone may be assigned a trust level. The data container may be stored in one of the Cloud zones of the shared networked storage. The trust level of the one of the Cloud zones may correspond to the confidentiality rating.

  • Password management system
    Patent number: 9985941
    Abstract: An embodiment of the invention may include a method, computer program product and computer system for password management. The embodiment may include a computing device that creates a password inventory. The password inventory may be a list of one or more passwords, where each of the one or more passwords corresponds to a password key. The embodiment may update the password inventory without input from a user. The embodiment may receive a first login request from a first device. The embodiment may transmit information detailing a first password key to the first device, where the first password key corresponds to a first password from the list of one or more passwords. The embodiment may receive information detailing a first entered password from the first device. The embodiment may determine whether the first entered password is identical to the first password from the list of one or more passwords.

  • Password re-usage identification based on input method editor analysis
    Patent number: 9984228
    Abstract: An approach is provided for password re-usage identification based on an Input Method Editor (IME) analysis. The approach analyzes a number of keystrokes received from a user at the IME that is running on the information handling system. A set of keystrokes received at the IME are identified as a possible new password that is being established by the user. A set of existing password data is searched with the search being based on the possible new password. The set of existing passwords are stored in a data store accessible from at least one of the processors of the information handling system. In response to the searching identifying that one of the existing passwords matches the possible new password, a notification, or warning, is displayed to the user.

  • UTILIZATION OF A THIN PROVISION GRID STORAGE ARRAY
    Publication number: 20180143775
    Abstract: Provided are a computer program product, computer system, and method for utilization of a thin provision grid storage array. Storage devices are divided into a plurality of slices, wherein each of the slices has a same number of partitions. Volumes in a pool are configured, wherein the pool is associated with physical capacity of a slice, wherein a volume size is unlimited, and wherein a cumulative size of all volumes in the pool is unlimited. While data is being written to the volumes in the pool, partitions of a first slice of the plurality of slices are allocated to the volumes in the pool and, in response to determining that the first slice needs additional physical capacity, allocating a partition of a second slice to the first slice by updating a mapping table.

  • PERFORMANCE ORIENTED DATA DEDUPLICATION AND DUPLICATION
    Publication number: 20180121105
    Abstract: A system and method for data storage management is disclosed. The method includes determining, by an access tracking component, a quantity of access requests for at least one data block, and determining a quantity of current copies of the data block. The method also includes creating, by a duplication component, at least one additional copy of the data block when the quantity of the access requests exceeds an access request threshold. Additionally, a deduplication component removes at least one current copy of the data block when the quantity of the access requests falls below the access request threshold. The access request threshold can be a threshold number of access requests for the data block, the presence of an input/output bottleneck, or a given length of a read latency when accessing the data block. Further, data coloring techniques can be used to distribute current copies of the data block.
