Abstract: A tract expander includes a base having a threaded central hole and a plurality of wings. The base and the wings are connected by a plurality of hinges. Each of the plurality of hinges is connected to the base and to a wing of the plurality of wings so that each wing moves relative to the base. A threaded shaft includes a tip. The tip diameter is larger than the threaded shaft diameter and the threaded shaft is configured to screw into the threaded central hole. The threaded shaft is configured to rotate and move the tip toward the hinged base, causing the tops of the plurality of wings to move away from the threaded shaft.

Abstract: A system and method for detecting cyberattacks involves monitoring and analyzing incoming email received over the internet using enterprise telemetry; extracting observations from an enterprise telemetry data feeds and transmitting to a summarization module for summarizing a potential indicator of compromise pertaining to the email monitored and analyzed by the network telemetry; storing the observation summarization data in a graph database; querying over the internet an external cybersecurity threat intelligence provider, upon identification of a true-positive network threat, for enriching information and artifacts contained within the true-positive network threat, receiving over the internet enriching information and artifacts from the external cybersecurity threat intelligence provider, and storing the received enriching information and artifacts in the graph database; and identifying a new indicator of compromise using data stored in the graph database.

Abstract: A method of improving efficiency of processing alerts by a Security Incident & Event Management (SIEM) platform involves a SIEM case creation platform made up of at least one pipeline, made up of multiple tasks, and is interposed between an alerts database and the SIEM platform.

Abstract: A method for generating hashes associated with web domains and reacting to transmissions from those web domains is disclosed. When artifacts from a first web domain and artifacts from a second web domain have been transmitted over a network, a system generates, via a hashing or fingerprinting function that uses registry information, a first hash for the first web domain and a second hash for the second web domain and identifies a correlation between the first web domain and the second web domain based on shared subsets of the first hash and second hash. Upon receiving a notification that artifacts from the first web domain had been determined to negatively impact the functioning of a secondary computing system, based on the identified correlation between the first web domain and the second web domain, the system automatically quarantines artifacts from the second web domain from interacting with the secondary computing system.

Abstract: A property is identified about which to gather information and a vehicle is deployed to a location associated with the property. A path is determined for the vehicle and the vehicle gathers real-time data associated with the property while traveling the path. The real-time data is compared to previously-gathered data to determine a portion of the property that is damaged.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method of analyzing the contents of a file in a visual document format to identify a potentially-fraudulent overlay is disclosed. The method includes receiving the file, iterating over a set of visually rendered elements within the file, and calculating, for each element in the set, a bounding box. Based on identifying a pair of elements having at least partially overlapping bounding boxes, such that a visible item in an overlaid element at least partially obscures an item in an underlying element that would otherwise be visible, an attack vector ontology is updated to include information on the overlaid and underlying element. This attack vector ontology may be used in training an automatic system to identify fraudulent documents and prevent their being printed, signed, and/or further used.

Abstract: An applet may be downloaded or provided to a web browser when a user visits a site in order to protect data input by the user from being captured by malicious software, such as key loggers. The applet may present a user input field in the web browser and may generate a random sequence of low-level key stroke or mouse click events within the input field when the user enters information, such as a username and/or password. A listening key logger will receive a large amount of random data, whereas the applet will receive and buffer the actual user data that may be communicated to a remote site access by the user.

Abstract: A system for receiving and deduplicating data strings transmitted over a network is disclosed. The system comprises one or more network sensors detecting data strings while in transit on the network; and non-transitory memory comprising instructions. When the instructions are executed by one or more processors, the one or more processors establish a plurality of Bloom filters, receive a first data string, perform a first insertion operation into each Bloom filter; determine, for each of one or more Bloom filters, a set of bits, whether presently set or cleared, to be unset; and unset each determined set of bits in the one or more Bloom filters. At a later moment in time, the first data string is received again, and each Bloom filter is queried to determine whether the first data string has been inserted, based on a current state of that Bloom filter.

Abstract: A user may access an institution system via more than one communications channel, either by the same device (e.g., a mobile device accessing the institution system via a voice channel and a data channel) or by different devices (e.g., a personal computer via a web channel and a phone via a voice channel). If a user is not currently authenticated to a communications channel and attempts to access the institution system via a communications channel, the user may be authenticated using strong authentication. If the user is currently authenticated to the institution system via a communications channel and would like to engage a second communications channel to access the institution system, the user may authenticate to the second communications channel using both communications channels and weak authentication, such as single factor authentication or a challenge question.

Abstract: A method for generating fingerprints of web domains and reacting to artifacts electronically received from those web domains is disclosed. When artifacts from a first web domain and artifacts from a second web domain have been transmitted over a network, a system generates, via a hashing function that consults registry information, a first hash for the first web domain and a second hash for the second web domain and identifies a correlation between the first web domain and the second web domain based on shared subsets of the first hash and second hash. Upon receiving a notification that artifacts from the first web domain had been determined to negatively impact the functioning of a secondary computing system; and based on the identified correlation between the first web domain and the second web domain, the system automatically quarantines artifacts from the second web domain from interacting with the secondary computing system.

Abstract: A property is identified about which to gather information. A vehicle is deployed to a location associated with the property. The vehicle gathers data at the location. A portion of the gathered data indicating a condition or event at the property is determined and encrypted. The portion of the gathered data is stored or sent to an authorized party.

Abstract: A system for collecting data artifacts from a production environment, storing them, and replaying them in a testing environment is disclosed. One or more processors receive a data artifact from a sensor in a production environment, and store the data artifact in a first storage with a unique identifier, while also storing in a second storage record(s) associating the unique identifier with a tag. A clone of at least a portion of the production environment is created within the testing environment, and an analytic targeting the data artifact is incorporated into the clone. Upon receiving a request to replay the data artifact, referencing the tag associated with the data artifact's unique identifier, the data artifact is replayed by causing the clone to receive the data artifact as if it were presently encountered. Logs of output from the clone's response are stored in a third storage for future analysis.
