Abstract: Methods of manufacturing multi-material fibers having one or more electrically-connectable devices disposed therein are described. In certain instances, the methods include the steps of: positioning the electrically-connectable device(s) within a corresponding pocket provided in a preform material; positioning a first electrical conductor longitudinally within a first conduit provided in the preform material; and drawing the multi-material fiber by causing the preform material to flow, such that the first electrical conductor extends within the multi-material fiber along a longitudinal axis thereof and makes an electrical contact with a first electrode located on each electrically-connectable device. A metallurgical bond may be formed between the first electrical conductor and the first electrode while drawing the multi-material fiber and/or, after drawing the multi-material fiber, the first electrical conductor may be located substantially along a neutral axis of the multi-material fiber.

Abstract: Disclosed techniques include cybersecurity operations case triage groupings. A plurality of network-connected cybersecurity threat protection applications is accessed. A plurality of inputs is received from the cybersecurity threat protection applications. The plurality of inputs is initiated by one or more cybersecurity events. A computer platform is used to analyze metadata associated with the plurality of inputs from the cybersecurity threat protection applications. The analyzing is based on parsing incoming traffic alerts from the cybersecurity threat protection applications. The inputs are triaged into groupings, based on the metadata. The triaging determines commonality of threats among the plurality of inputs. The groupings are based on a number of users experiencing the plurality of inputs. The number of users is matched against a threshold for the plurality of inputs and a particular grouping. A cybersecurity threat response is generated, based on the groupings.

Abstract: Disclosed techniques include cybersecurity operations center load balancing. A cybersecurity security operations center (SOC) caseload history is accessed. Triage results from the SOC caseload history are analyzed on a computer platform to produce an analyst threat response profile. The analyst threat response profile is augmented with threat response resolution metrics. The threat response resolution metrics are updated with a subjective rating. The subjective rating is supplied by management, peers, or machine learning. Notification of a new cybersecurity threat is received across a cybersecurity network by the SOC. The new cybersecurity threat is assigned to a specific analyst, based on the augmented analyst threat response profile. The assigning is further based on weighting of threat severity, threat complexity, and analyst availability. An existing SOC caseload is reassigned to increase availability of the specific analyst.

Abstract: Disclosed techniques include cybersecurity workflow management using autodetection. A cybersecurity threat protection workflow is accessed. At least one cybersecurity threat protection application notification is received. The cybersecurity threat protection application notification causes an irreversible action to be scheduled by the workflow. The irreversible action comprises a destructive response. The destructive response includes killing a process, deleting an account, shutting down a computer, wiping a computer, or shutting down a router. The irreversible action is detected before it is implemented by the workflow. The irreversible action in the workflow is mitigated using a supervisory workflow element. The mitigating the irreversible action comprises initiating a machine learning algorithm. The machine learning algorithm enables a near real-time response. The machine learning algorithm self-triggers the actionable response.

An actionable response is triggered, based on the state change that was identified. The actionable response enables self-healing of a connected security orchestration, automation, and response (SOAR) application system. The status is processed, using the background synchronization service, to provide the actionable response.

A first cybersecurity threat notification is received from one of the plurality of cybersecurity threat protection applications. An impact score is dynamically assigned to the first cybersecurity threat notification, wherein the assigning an impact score is based on information about a device for which the first cybersecurity threat notification was received.

The pinch valve mechanism includes a first end having a first projection, a second end, operatively connected to the first end and a second projection. A spring means operatively connected to the second end, wherein the conduit is disposed between the first end and the second end such that the first projection and second projection are biased to pinch the conduit into a closed position. Compression of the spring means moves the first end away from the second end to move the conduit into an open position.
