  • Publication number: 20190235921
    Abstract: A system, method and the like for allocating computing resources to data processing services/applications based on the current or foreseen usage/load of the computing resources. The elastic nature of the computing resource grid allows for expansion or contraction of ancillary use of the computing resources depending on the data processing requirements and computer resource usage. Further, virtual binary codes are deployed on the computing resources, which are executed at the application layer and configured to be removed upon completion of a job or in the event that the usage state of the computing resource dictates such. The removal of the virtual binary codes from the computing resources provides for no residual effect on the computing resources (i.e., no code remains in computing resource memory and, as such no processing capabilities are subsequently used).

  • Publication number: 20190122200
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide a system for remotely triggering execution of events by a robotic process automation system in response to detection of a triggering signal. A set of executable events or actions may be received and stored for future processing, where the set of executable events are to be executed in direct response to a remote monitoring device or beacon detecting the presence of the triggering signal as it is emitted from a mobile device. The remote monitoring device is then instructed to scan a geographic area for the triggering signal. Once the remote monitoring device detects the triggering signal, an indication of the detection is automatically transmitted to the robotic process automation system. This robotic process automation system then automatically executes one or more events from the set of executable events through communication with one or more disparate devices or systems.

  • Publication number: 20190124100
    Abstract: A system for implementing robotic process automation (RPA) to enhance computer network security. Specifically, RPA is used to detect an unauthorized attempt to access a dataset and, in response, the unauthorized entity is provided access to a bot-generated modified dataset that includes modified data elements that are reasonable facsimiles of the actual data elements and do not expose confidential data. Once access to the modified data set is provided, RPA is implemented to track actions by the unauthorized entity accessing the modified data set and, once copied, RPA is implemented to track usage of the data by the unauthorized entity. Additionally, RPA may be implemented to mitigate damages caused by attempts or actual accessing of the actual datasets by performing actions that prevent further damages, such as deactivating/activating resource storage and authorizing previously configured resource events.
