Abstract: Systems and methods for generating a personalized lobby interface based on contest attributes and user attributes for one or more users of a contest management system. The contest management system can generate, execute and maintain a plurality of contests, such as but not limited to, fantasy sports contests. Further, the contest management system can maintain a plurality of user profiles with each of the user profiles associated with at least one user. To provide content and/or recommendations to one or user profiles, the contest management system can create one or more personalized lobbies for each of the user profiles. The personalized lobbies can display one or more contests selected by the contest management system that a user associated with the respective user profile may be interested in based in part on their respective profile attributes and/or contest history.

Abstract: Systems and methods for algorithmically arranging contests in a lobby interface are provided. A contest management system can generate, execute and maintain a plurality of contests, such as but not limited to, fantasy sports contests. Rank values can be assigned to the contests using pacing parameters of the contests and profile attributes of users who participate in the contests. The pacing parameters, such as registration ratios and registration deadlines, can indicate if a particular contest is on pace to meet a registration threshold prior to their respective registration deadline. The contest management system can dynamically update, responsive to receiving a plurality of registrations from a plurality of users, the rank value of one or more contests responsive to a change in a registration ratio of at least one contest and arrange the plurality of contests in a lobby interface based on the updated rank values.

Abstract: A method of detecting subject respiratory motion and non-respiratory motion includes: transmitting a transmitted signal toward a subject, the transmitted signal being an ultrasound wave, the transmitted signal reflecting off the subject to produce a reflected signal; receiving the reflected signal and converting a form of the reflected signal from ultrasound wave to electrical; comparing the reflected signal to at least a first reference signal to determine at least a first reference phase signal indicative of a first phase difference between the first reference signal and the reflected signal, the at least a first reference signal being associated with the transmitted signal; and analyzing the first reference phase signal for respiratory motion of the subject and non-respiratory motion, the non-respiratory motion including at least one of non-respiratory motion of the subject or motion of an entity other than the subject.

Abstract: Systems and methods may simulate traffic to identify malicious activity. A dynamic analysis system comprising a processor in communication with a network may receive a copy of a malware program and load the copy of the malware program into a simulated endpoint. The system may monitor simulated endpoint network traffic to or from the simulated endpoint, assess the simulated endpoint network traffic to determine a source and/or destination for the simulated endpoint network traffic and/or content of the simulated endpoint network traffic, and capture and store metadata associated with the simulated endpoint network traffic. A comparison system may compare simulated network traffic metadata to observed network traffic metadata to determine whether the metadata are statistically similar. When the metadata are not statistically similar, the system may generate a low infection confidence score. When the metadata are statistically similar, the system may generate a high infection confidence score.

Abstract: Systems and methods of classifying network traffic may monitor network traffic. Monitored traffic may be compared with a control protocol template (CPT). When a similarity between the monitored traffic and the CPT exceeds a match threshold, the monitored traffic may be associated with the CPT.

Abstract: In some embodiments, a real-time and interactive preview of alerts is provided in a user interface. A computer system parses a set of rules that specifies an alert definition. Each rule identifies a set of observations and an alert trigger criterion based on user input in the user interface. For a rule, the computer system accesses historical data corresponding to the set of observations identified by the rule and determines, based on an analysis of the historical data, time points that trigger alerts over a time period according to the rule. The analysis is based on the alert trigger criterion identified by the rule. The computer system aggregates, based on the alert definition, the time points determined for the rule with time points determined for another rule from the set of rules. Further, the computer system generates an alert preview over the time period for presentation at the user interface.

Abstract: Systems and methods may determine suspicious network traffic. A monitoring system comprising a processor in communication with a network may monitor network traffic to or from an asset associated with the network. The monitoring system may assess the network traffic to determine a source and/or destination for the network traffic anchor content of the network traffic. The monitoring system may determine whether the network traffic is suspicious network traffic based on the assessed source and/or destination and/or content. When the network traffic is determined to be suspicious network traffic, the monitoring system may capture metadata associated with the suspicious network traffic and store the metadata in a database in communication with the processor. When the network traffic is not determined to be suspicious network traffic, the monitoring system may disregard metadata associated with the network traffic.

Abstract: Systems and methods may use historical analysis to identify malicious activity. A discovery/recovery system may comprise a processor in communication with a network and in communication with a database. The discovery/recovery system may gather filtered historical network data associated with an asset associated with the network. The discovery/recovery system may analyze the filtered historical network data to determine whether a subset of the filtered historical network data is associated with a malware infection of the asset.

The expert drives the interactions and can activate peripherals on the customer device to capture information, which is automatically sent from the customer device to the remote device for consumption by the expert.

Abstract: Systems and methods may use automation discovery to identify malicious activity. An automation discovery system comprising a processor in communication with a network and in communication with a database may receive potentially automated network traffic data. The system may analyze the potentially automated network traffic data to determine whether the potentially automated network traffic data is likely to be automated. When the potentially automated network traffic data is not likely to be automated, the system may generate a low automation confidence score associated with the potentially automated network traffic data. When the potentially automated network traffic data is likely to be automated, the system may generate a high automation confidence score associated with the potentially automated network traffic data.
