Abstract: Systems and methods are described for a data breach detection based on snapshot analytics. The described systems and methods identify a plurality of snapshots of a data structure, identify a plurality of leaf nodes of the data structure for each of the snapshots, generate a vector of data attributes for each of the leaf nodes, assign a weight to each of the vectors to produce a set of weighted vectors for each of the snapshots, compute a distance metric between each pair of the snapshots based on the corresponding sets of weighted vectors, and detect an abnormal snapshot among the plurality of snapshots based on the distance metrics.

Abstract: Techniques and systems are described for detecting malware's bulk transformation of a user's data before the malware is able to complete the data transformation. Included are methods and systems for enabling malware detection by monitoring the file operations of a computer application or process for particular kinds of suspicious data transformation indicators. Indicators include primary indicators, such as file-type signature changes, notable changes in file data entropy, and out-of-range similarity measurements between the read and write versions of file data, as well as secondary indicators, such as a large number of file deletions and a large reduction in the number of file-types written versus read by a process over time. When indicators are triggered by a process, an adjustment to the process' malware score is made; in the event that the process' malware score reaches a malware detection threshold, the process is marked as malware and appropriate actions are taken.

Abstract: Disclosed are various embodiments for detecting Signaling System 7 (SS7) redirection attacks by measuring call audio round trip times between phones. Such redirection attacks force calls to travel longer physical distances than usual, thereby causing longer end-to-end delay. Accordingly, various embodiments implement a distance bounding-inspired protocol that allows for securely characterizing the round trip time between two call endpoints. As a result, telephone users can reliably detect SS7 redirection attacks and protect the information contained in their calls.

Abstract: Example embodiments provide methods, apparatuses, systems, computing devices, and/or the like for vetting USB device firmware via a USB-specific firmware analysis framework. In one example, a method is provided for analyzing firmware of a Universal Serial Bus (USB) device. The example method includes steps of receiving a firmware image extracted from the USB device, identifying signatures from the firmware image relating to USB operation, and building an expected model of operation of the USB device using the identified signatures and a database of operational information regarding USB devices. The example method further includes the steps of generating a recovered model of operation of the USB device based on the firmware image and the identified signatures, and comparing the recovered model of operation with the expected model of operation to identify unexpected or unknown behaviors. The example method may further include generating a report comprising the identified unexpected or unknown behaviors.

Abstract: A method of vision testing includes providing a display, presenting a first chart of optotypes wherein each line progressively decreases in size or in contrast of the optotype relative to a background. The method includes having a patient identify and read the optotypes, noting which line of optotypes at which the patient can correctly identify all of the optotypes in the first chart, confirming that the patient has correctly identified all of the optotypes in the line of the first chart, and then presenting a second chart of optotypes wherein each line of the second chart progressively decreases in one of size or in contrast of the optotype relative to a background. The size or contrast of the noted line of optotypes from the first chart that the patient correctly identified is presented as either a first line of optotypes or a second line of optotypes on the second chart.

Abstract: A monitor/display is used to display a vision test. A patient is spaced a predetermined distance from the monitor/display during the testing procedure, and individual, multiple LED housings are equally spaced about a center point of the monitor/display to direct light toward the patient during at least a portion of the test procedure. The light emanating from the individual housings is a diffuse, unfocused light to simulate glare, and the intensity of the light may be selectively altered. Conducting vision testing under glare conditions determines if there is any reduction or fall off in the patient's vision under such circumstances and provides an indication of whether the patient may require cataract surgery or has another ocular problem. An assembly allows an existing vision testing system to be easily modified to provide glare light testing capabilities.

Abstract: One embodiment provides a method of determining a revised firmware upgrade plan for one or more devices, said method including: utilizing at least one processor to execute computer code that performs the steps of: selecting, in view of a predetermined change window and risk associated with the firmware upgrade plan, a firmware upgrade plan; detecting a failure during execution of the firmware upgrade plan; and responsive to the detecting, identifying a revised firmware upgrade plan based on time remaining in the predetermined change window and risk associated with the revised firmware upgrade plan. Other aspects are described and claimed.

Abstract: A monitor is used to display a visual acuity test operated by software from an associated computer. A patient is spaced a predetermined distance from the monitor during the testing procedure, and individual, multiple LED housings are equally spaced about a center point of the monitor to direct light toward the patient during at least a portion of the test procedure. The light emanating from the individual housings is a diffuse, unfocused light to simulate glare, and the intensity of the light may be selectively altered.

Abstract: A host validation system runs on a portable storage device, and protects data stored thereon from unauthorized access by host computers. The system identifies a host to which the portable device is coupled, for example by using the host's TPM. This can further comprise identifying the host's current configuration. The system uses the identification and configuration information to verify whether the host is approved to access data stored on the portable device. The system provides the host a level of data access responsive to this verification. This can involve denying all data access to the host, or providing at least some access to data stored on the portable device, for example based on a stored access policy specifying levels of access to provide to specific hosts with specific configurations.

Abstract: A mechanism is provided to automatically retrieve zoning best practices from a centralized repository and to ensure that automatically generated zones do not violate these best practices. A user selects a set of hosts and storage controllers. The user also selects a guidance policy for creating the zone, and also selects a set of validation policies that must be enforced on the zone. If the user selects a guidance policy and a validation policy combination that is incompatible, the mechanism allows the user to change either the selected guidance policy or the set of validation policies. If the user has selected consistent-zoning as a guidance policy, then the mechanism automatically selects a guidance policy that does not violate the known validation policies.
