Patent number: 12450080Abstract: In one example described herein a system can intercept, using a webhook, a container command issued to a user interface of a container orchestration platform. In response to intercepting the container command, the system can determine that the container command violates a security policy. In response to determining that the container command violates the security policy, the system can prevent the container command from being executed in relation to a container of the container orchestration platform.Type: GrantFiled: January 6, 2022Date of Patent: October 21, 2025Assignee: Red Hat, Inc.Inventors: Khushboo Sancheti, Mandar Darwatkar, James Scott, Hoo In Song

Publication number: 20250209182Abstract: A vulnerability with respect to a file in a continuous integration (CI) pipeline can be suppressed according to some aspects described herein. For example, a computing system can determine that the vulnerability is suppressible. In response to determining the vulnerability is suppressible, the computing system can automatically adjust a status of the vulnerability from an observed state that prevents deployment of the file to a suppressed state that allows the deployment of the file. The computing system additionally can determine a security risk of deploying the file. The suppressed state of the vulnerability can exclude the vulnerability from the determination of the security risk. The computing system can deploy the file in the CI pipeline subsequent to automatically adjusting the status of the vulnerability to the suppressed state.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 10, 2025Publication date: June 26, 2025Applicant: Red Hat, Inc.Inventors: Mandar Darwatkar, Nakul Chander, Saif Chaudhry, Alan Roy, James Scott, Mansur Syed

Patent number: 12265629Abstract: A vulnerability with respect to an image file in a continuous integration (CI) pipeline can be suppressed according to some aspects described herein. For example, a processor can receive an alert for the vulnerability with the CI pipeline being able to block deployment of the image file in response to the alert. Based on the alert, the processor can determine that the vulnerability of the image file is deferrable. After determining that the vulnerability is deferrable, the processor can automatically adjust a status of the vulnerability from an observed state to a deferred state. The CI pipeline can allow the deployment of the image file based on the status of the vulnerability being in the deferred state. The processor can deploy the image file in the CI pipeline after adjusting the status of the vulnerability to the deferred state.Type: GrantFiled: December 15, 2022Date of Patent: April 1, 2025Assignee: Red Hat, Inc.Inventors: Mandar Darwatkar, Nakul Chander, Saif Chaudhry, Alan Roy, James Scott, Mansur Syed

Patent number: 11860594Abstract: A building comprises a network of energy storage and energy consuming assets, which is connected to an alternating current electric supply grid having a normal frequency through an energy management system linked to a server. The energy management system measures over a period of time the energy consumption against time of the energy consuming assets and stores the measurements taken and measures over a period of time the energy stored against time in the energy storing assets and stores the measurements taken. The measurements of energy consumption and energy stored are used to derive the base net energy need in particular time periods. The net energy need in individual time periods is exported to one or more third parties.Type: GrantFiled: January 23, 2019Date of Patent: January 2, 2024Assignee: GRID EDGE LIMITEDInventors: Thomas Anderson, James Scott, Daniel Wright
