  • Publication number: 20250307123
    Abstract: A data pipeline validation system and method configured to partially automate testing of data pipelines in a distributed computing environment. The system includes a data pipeline analytic device equipped with various modules, such as a query generation module, data frame comparison module, and metadata management module. The query generation module employs natural language processing techniques to analyze configuration entries and dynamically generate SQL queries tailored to specific test cases. The data frame comparison module compares the results of different test cases using distributed collections, enabling parallel processing and efficient result comparison. The metadata management module captures and stores relevant metadata for traceability and auditing purposes. The system facilitates comprehensive validation of data pipelines, enabling organizations to ensure the accuracy, reliability, and integrity of data.

  • Patent number: 12095784
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method for indicating the possibility of a cyber-attack on a computer network, comprising: receiving, from one or more security components installed in a network, an indication of activity within the network associated with a security threat; mapping the indication of activity to one or more cyber-attack techniques; identifying one or more previously received indications of activity within the network associated with a security threat; identifying one or more cyber-attack techniques to which the previously received indication(s) of activity have been mapped; determining whether the indication of activity is associated with one or more of the previously received indication(s) of activity, the determination based at least in part on a strength of a relationship between the one or more cyber-attack techniques to which the indication of activity is mapped and the one or more cyber-attack techniques to which the previously received indication(s) of activity have been mapped; and dependent on
