Abstract: The present disclosure relates to improved methods for generating multicellular spheroids. In embodiments, an improved method may comprise (a) providing cells capable of spheroid formation; (b) centrifuging the cells; (c) adding extracellular matrix to the cells of (b) to produce a cell suspension comprising a desired concentration of extracellular matrix; and (d) allowing at least one spheroid to form; wherein (b) is performed before (c). In embodiments, cells may be seeded on a tissue culture apparatus before extracellular matrix is added to the cells. In embodiments, spheroids may be characterized, analyzed, challenged, otherwise tested, or a combination thereof. In embodiments, cells may be seeded in a volume of media that is a fraction of a volume of media that is desired for characterization, analysis, challenging, otherwise testing, or a combination thereof.

Abstract: Adaptive network security policies can be selected by assigning a number of risk values to security intelligence associated with network traffic, and identifying a number of security policies to implement based on the risk values.

Abstract: A method and system for dynamic identification of network security policies are provided. The method comprises inspecting network traffic using a number of network inspection technologies; executing a first network security system to implement a first number of security policies to respond to a first number of threats identified by the number of network inspection technologies; executing a second network security system to implement a second number of security policies to respond to a second number of threats identified by the number of network inspection technologies; obtaining security intelligence from the first and second network security system; and adaptively reassessing the first and second number of security policies based on the security intelligence.

Abstract: A process may include selecting from among entries in a primary connection table, an entry to be removed from a primary connection table in order to create space for another entry in the primary connection table. The process may further store in a secondary connection table an entry for the connection corresponding to the selected entry.
