Patent number: 12255888Abstract: In various exemplary embodiments, a security continuity system allows users to continue accessing certain user accounts (e.g., email, calendar, contacts, documents, instant messaging, cloud storage, etc.) through alternate logon identity credentials that are automatically provisioned such as when a security event is detected or suspected. The alternate logon identity credentials may be temporary (e.g., just used during security continuity until the original user logon identity credentials can be secured such as by establishing a new password or by having the user select a new logon identity) or permanent (e.g., the alternate logon identity can become the user's new logon identity). Security continuity may be invoked manually (e.g., by the user or by an administrator) or automatically when certain conditions are detected (e.g., through detection of suspicious activities such as repeated user lockouts due to multiple failed logon attempts or upon detection of a successful breach by an attacker).Type: GrantFiled: September 1, 2023Date of Patent: March 18, 2025Assignee: Mimecast Services Ltd.Inventors: Jackie Anne Maylor, Simon Paul Tyler, Mark O'Hare, Nathaniel S.

Publication number: 20110258439Abstract: A secure data parser is provided that may be integrated into any suitable system for securely storing and communicating data. The secure data parser parses data and then splits the data into multiple portions that are stored or communicated distinctly. Encryption of the original data, the portions of data, or both may be employed for additional security. The secure data parser may be used to protect data in motion by splitting original data into portions of data, that may be communicated using multiple communications paths.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 29, 2011Publication date: October 20, 2011Applicant: Security First CorporationInventors: Rick Orsini, Mark O'Hare, Roger Davenport, Steven Winick
