Patent number: 11558382Abstract: In general, techniques are described for supporting bulk delivery of change of authorization data in authentication, authorization, and accounting (AAA) protocols, where delivery is performed as a change of authorization after a subscriber has successfully authenticated and initially authorized. In one example, the techniques are directed to a method including determining, by a RADIUS server for a service provider network, change of authorization data for services to which the subscriber of the service provider network has subscribed. The method further includes generating, by the RADIUS server, RADIUS messages that form a transaction between the RADIUS server and a network access server acting as a RADIUS client. The RADIUS messages provide all of the change of authorization data to the network access server prior to the network access server provisioning the services. The method further includes outputting, by the RADIUS server, the RADIUS messages to the network access server.Type: GrantFiled: April 29, 2021Date of Patent: January 17, 2023Assignee: Juniper Networks, Inc.Inventors: John Gibbons, Paul Raison, Sunil Madhaorao Gandhewar

Patent number: 10867040Abstract: The present disclosure is directed at systems and methods for detecting ransomware infection in filesystems. These systems and methods may enable a computer user to detect a ransomware infection within a filesystem utilizing a snapshot image-based backup. According to some embodiments, the disclosed systems and methods analyze metadata describing the contents of an examined filesystem embodied in a Master File Table (MFT). Also according to some embodiments, the disclosed systems and methods compute an entropy associated with an extracted sample of files to distinguish between infected and uninfected file systems. Relative to other techniques, the disclosed systems/methods can decrease the time and/or computational resources required to detect ransomware, while also decreasing false positives and false negatives.Type: GrantFiled: October 17, 2017Date of Patent: December 15, 2020Assignee: DATTO, INC.Inventors: Robert John Gibbons, Jr., Kristen Helene Costagliola, Christopher James Henderson

Patent number: 10795775Abstract: A “Local Ingestion” (LI) Server resides and operates in the LAN of a business organization, and provides backup storage for data generated using various software applications locally installed on client terminals (“non-SaaS data”) and data generated using various SaaS applications accessed by client terminals via the Internet (“SaaS data”). The LI Server can receive data generated in a native format by either a local non-SaaS application or one or more SaaS applications and convert from different native data formats to an application platform-independent or “canonical” format for backed-up SaaS data and non-SaaS data. The LI Server may then analyze data generated using different source applications, and backed-up in a canonical format, so as to identify particular content, patterns, relationships, and/or trends and thereby extract valuable business-related or other information from multiple cross-platform files.Type: GrantFiled: October 31, 2016Date of Patent: October 6, 2020Assignee: DATTO, INC.Inventors: Robert John Gibbons, Jr., Austin McChord
