  • Tracking usage of corporate credentials
    Patent number: 11616811
    Abstract: Phishing attacks attempt to solicit valuable information such as personal information, account credentials, and the like from human users by disguising a malicious request for information as a legitimate inquiry, typically in the form of an electronic mail or similar communication. By tracking a combination of outbound web traffic from an endpoint and inbound electronic mail traffic to the endpoint, improved detection of phishing attacks or similar efforts to wrongly obtain sensitive information can be achieved.

  • Dynamic policy based on user experience
    Patent number: 11599660
    Abstract: Entity models are used to evaluate potential risk of entities, either individually or in groups, in order to evaluate suspiciousness within an enterprise network. These individual or aggregated risk assessments can be used to adjust the security policy for compute instances within the enterprise network. A security policy may specify security settings such as network speed, filtering levels, network isolation, levels of privilege, and the like.

  • IMAGE REDACTION FOR A DISPLAY DEVICE
    Publication number: 20230041623
    Abstract: A system may be used to redact an image to be displayed by a display device. By intercepting a signal before an image of the signal is displayed on a display device, the display of confidential, sensitive and inappropriate information may be suppressed. More specifically, the image of the signal is analyzed using a content recognition algorithm to identify items of content, which may be redacted by modifying the signal. Using this concept, the image may be redacted by the display device, or by a port or adapter between a signal generator and the display device, without relying on redaction software local to the signal generation system.

  • Method and system for detecting slow page load
    Patent number: 11550870
    Abstract: A method and system for detecting slow page load is provided. An example system comprises a page request detector, a time-out module, a time-out monitor, and a lightweight page requestor. The page request detector may be configured to detect a request for a web page. The time-out module may be configured to commence a time-out period in response to a request for a web page. The time-out module cooperates with the time-out monitor that may be configured to determine that rendering of a rich version of the requested web page has not commenced at an expiration of the time-out period. The lightweight page requestor may be configured to cause a lightweight version of the requested page to be provided to the client system when the time-out monitor determines that the rendering of a rich version of the requested web page has not commenced at an expiration of the time-out period.

  • Computer assisted identification of intermediate level threats
    Patent number: 11552962
    Abstract: An ensemble of detection techniques are used to identify code that presents intermediate levels of threat. For example, an ensemble of machine learning techniques may be used to evaluate suspiciousness based on binaries, file paths, behaviors, reputations, and so forth, and code may be sorted into safe, unsafe, intermediate, or any similar categories. By filtering and prioritizing intermediate threats with these tools, human threat intervention can advantageously be directed toward code samples and associated contexts most appropriate for non-automated responses.

  • Analog-to-digital converter with auto-zeroing residue amplification circuit
    Patent number: 11545991
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are some examples of analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) that can perform auto-zeroing with amplifying a signal for improvement of a signal-to-noise ratio. The ADCs may produce a first digital code to represent an analog input signal and a second digital code based on a residue from the first digital code, and may combine the first digital code and the second digital code to produce a digital output code to represent the analog input signal. The ADC may utilize a first observation and a second observation of an analog residue value representing the residue to produce the second digital code.
