  • Patent number: 8756684
    Abstract: A computer readable storage medium has instructions for execution on a computer. The instructions monitor transactions between a server and a set of clients. An evaluation of session indicators associated with the transactions is performed. Individual sessions between the server and individual clients of the plurality of clients are isolated in response to the evaluation.

  • Patent number: 8627479
    Abstract: A computer readable storage medium with instructions executable on a host computer. The instructions record a relationship between a partner site and the host computer, substitute a reference to the partner site with a partner site alias referencing the host computer, deliver the partner site alias to a client, replace the partner site alias for the reference to the partner site in response to receiving the partner site alias from the client and augment the address of the client with an address alias. The address alias is sent to the partner site. A partner action and the address alias are received from the partner site. The address is exchanged for the address alias. The partner action is delivered to the client utilizing the address. These operations are monitored to identify client activity that constitutes a security threat at the host computer or the partner site.

  • Publication number: 20120016633
    Abstract: A non-transitory computer readable storage medium includes executable instructions to observe the distribution of the frequency of a recurrent behavior to form a histogram. A rehistogram of the histogram is computed to model the distribution of the frequency of the frequency of the recurrent behavior. The rehistogram provides an individual frequency relative to the total frequency of the recurrent behavior. The individual frequency is compared to a predicted frequency to form a difference frequency. An anomaly event is identified when the difference frequency exceeds an anomaly threshold.

  • Publication number: 20100235909
    Abstract: A system and software for identifying the change of user behavior on a website includes analyzing the actions of users on a website comprising a plurality of fields or input parameters that identify the actions performed on a website including fields related to previous actions by that user or other users of the website. The fields or input parameters are represented in a vector format where vectors represent different sessions of activity on the website, pages of the website, users of the website, or other attributes of the use of a website. Analysis is performed to determine if new sessions are similar or dissimilar to previously known sessions and if a session is converging or diverging from known sessions based on the velocity and direction of the velocity of the vectors in the vector space.

  • Patent number: 6571362
    Abstract: A method and system are provided for improving efficiency of storing and accessing data blocks for systems that are limited to small size, host accessible data blocks, such as having a maximum size of 512 bytes, by allowing larger size subsystem data blocks to be created from the smaller size logical data blocks. A host command is analyzed to determine whether the host accessible logical data block aligns with the larger subsystem block. If so, the larger block(s) is(are) sent to the host. If the command does not align, the larger block is processed into a plurality of segments so that the addressed data block(s) can be aligned, and any error correction coding verified. The present invention allows a subsystem to store and manage efficiently sized blocks of data while still supporting a host's need to access smaller, single architecturally defined addressable blocks.
