  • Patent number: 11949713
    Abstract: Introduced here are computer programs and computer-implemented techniques for discovering malicious emails and then remediating the threat posed by those malicious emails in an automated manner. A threat detection platform may monitor a mailbox to which employees of an enterprise are able to forward emails deemed to be suspicious for analysis. This mailbox may be referred to as an “abuse mailbox” or “phishing mailbox.” The threat detection platform can examine emails contained in the abuse mailbox and then determine whether any of those emails represent threats to the security of the enterprise. For example, the threat detection platform may classify each email contained in the abuse mailbox as being malicious or non-malicious. Thereafter, the threat detection platform may determine what remediation actions, if any, are appropriate for addressing the threat posed by those emails determined to be malicious.

  • Publication number: 20240103881
    Abstract: Disclosed methods respond to detecting the receipt, by a management controller, such as a baseboard management controller (BMC), of an information handling system, of a provisioning request from a management client, by rebooting the information handling system to initiate a Universal Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) boot sequence that is configured to load an EFI application, referred to herein a provisioning application. A two way communication channel such as a WebSocket is established between the management client and the management controller to stream OS image data corresponding to an OS image to the management controller. The OS image data streamed to the management controller is written to an OS image partition of a boot device, after which the stored OS image may be booted to load the OS. The provisioning request may be communicated as a representational state transfer (REST) compliant (RESTful) request using, in at least some deployments, a Redfish application programming interface (API).
