  • Publication number: 20200184525
    Abstract: Techniques facilitating mitigation of dangerous activities are provided. In one example, a computer-implemented method can include detecting, by a system operatively coupled to a processor, a trigger event based on a determination that a security risk level satisfies a defined condition associated with the security risk level. The security risk level can be associated with an item of interest and a monitored behavior related to the item of interest. The computer-implemented method can also include implementing, by the system, an action that mitigates an impact of the security risk level. The action can be implemented as the trigger event is detected and the action can be determined based on the item of interest and the monitored behavior.

  • Publication number: 20200160735
    Abstract: A method for guiding an emergency vehicle to an emergency site includes receiving an emergency dispatch message including a location of an emergency. Present location information is received for an emergency vehicle. A route between the received present location and the received location of the emergency is calculated using area map data. Navigation guidance is provided to the emergency vehicle based on the calculated route. The calculated route and the present location information for the emergency vehicle are transmitted to an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). The UAV is automatically piloted ahead of the emergency vehicle, along the calculated route, using the calculated route and present location transmitted thereto. A traffic alert is transmitted from the UAV to influence traffic flow ahead of the emergency vehicle.

  • Publication number: 20200134190
    Abstract: A compliance of a system is managed. Internal parameters of the system are received. One or more compliance control documents that relate to the system are identified. Each compliance control document is decomposed into one or more auditable units. Auditable units that are relevant to the system, are identified. Relevant auditable units are mapped to a corresponding available executable code. Each mapped executable code is executed. A risk associated with each relevant auditable unit that is deemed to be not compliant is identified. For each compliance control document, a compliance risk is calculated based on the identified risk. A report of compliance risk for each document is created to be displayed on a user interface of a computing device.

  • Publication number: 20200104774
    Abstract: Aspects of the invention include receiving, using a processor, a plurality of values of a performance indicator. A statistical analysis of the plurality of values of the performance indicator is performed, using the processor, to detect an anomaly pattern in the plurality of values of the performance indicator. A warning message about the detected anomaly pattern is sent to an alert recipient that is selected by a machine learning model trained to identify alert recipients based at least in part on detected anomaly patterns. Feedback about the warning message is received from the alert recipient. The feedback includes an interest of the alert recipient in receiving warning messages about the detected anomaly pattern. The machine learning model is updated based at least in part on the feedback.
