Abstract: Techniques for validating or determining trajectories for a vehicle are discussed herein. A trajectory management component can receive status and/or error data from other safety system components and select or otherwise determine safe and valid vehicle trajectories. A perception component of a safety system can validate a trajectory upon which the trajectory management component can wait for selecting a vehicle trajectory, validate trajectories stored in a queue, and/or utilize kinematics for validation of trajectories. A filter component of the safety system can filter out objects based on trajectories stored in a queue. A collision detection component of the safety system can determine the collision states based on trajectories stored in a queue or determine a collision state upon which the trajectory management component can wait for selecting or otherwise determining a vehicle trajectory.

Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for predicting cybersecurity vulnerabilities automatically in IT assets/targets based on known vulnerabilities of various available technologies/products. This is accomplished by loading and linking one or more ontologies in a graph database containing vulnerability information about the technologies. The assets/targets preferably belong to a bug-bounty program. An optional discovery tool maps the attack surface of each target. A profiler collects the various technologies or traits used by the target and links them to the target. Then the graph database is queried to predict the cybersecurity vulnerabilities associated with the traits and consequently with the targets. The system is preferably implemented with a service-oriented architecture (SOA) so feedback/predictions can be provided to the user in near/real-time.
