  • Patent number: 12511395
    Abstract: Described herein are techniques are provided for enabling a security orchestration, automation, and response (SOAR) service to automatically manage apps used to interface with an integrated security operations service and other related devices and services. Further described herein is a SOAR app generator service or application used to automate the creation of apps for a SOAR service based on application programming interfaces (API) specifications for related devices or services, as well as visual playbook editor interfaces for a SOAR service that enable the configuration of complex action input parameters including arrays and objects.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 12417090
    Abstract: Techniques are described for providing a software-based platform used to collect and analyze data artifacts generated during software development processes and to display results of the analyses as actionable information. The software development observability platform is a software-based agent (also referred to as an “artifact collector”) capable of capturing output from a wide variety of software development tools including compilers, test frameworks, code coverage and type checker tools, and the like. The artifact collector stores the data in an event data format and forwards the data to a data intake and query system or other destination for further analysis. In some examples, the software development observability platform further includes graphical user interfaces (GUIs) and other analysis tools that enable users to obtain insights into their software development processes.

  • Patent number: 12120124
    Abstract: Techniques are described for providing a built-in “app” editor for an information technology (IT) and security operations application that enables users to create, modify, and test operation of apps under development within the editor. Some IT and security operations applications enable users to extend the applications by adding connectivity to third party technologies to run custom actions. For example, a user might create a custom app to enable an IT and security operations application to connect to an external service providing information about malicious Internet Protocol (IP) addresses, to connect to a relevant cloud provider service, or to interact with a firewall or other type of computing device used in a user's computing environment. Given the broad set of technologies that can be orchestrated by an IT and security operations application, apps broadly enable users to add custom functionality to interface with virtually any technology of interest.

  • Publication number: 20220106109
    Abstract: Portable containers for people to provide cleanup activity while hiking, running, hunting, camping, enjoying snow sports, or otherwise enjoying the outdoors. The portable containers can stay substantially clean due to a water-resistant coating. The portable containers can include compact folding where the container can roll-up to carry the most trash with the least amount of space. The portable containers can be lightweight making it easy to carry for all outdoor adventures. The portable containers can enable cleanliness and convenience in a hands-free solution including a pull tab to open a top opening thereof. The portable container can include an elastic or inelastic cord tensioner and spring steel system used to keep the opening in an increased open area state for easy hands-free access to the interior. The portable container can include a bottom opening zipper for hands-free gravity enabled disposal of trash and waste held within the portable container.
