Patent number: 11934925Abstract: According to some embodiments, a method performed by a classification scanner comprises receiving an electronic message and determining a classification that applies to the electronic message. The classification is determined based on an express indication from a user. The method further comprises providing a machine learning trainer with the electronic message and an identification of the classification that applies to the electronic message. The machine learning trainer is adapted to determine a machine learning policy that associates attributes of the electronic message with the classification.Type: GrantFiled: April 14, 2022Date of Patent: March 19, 2024Assignee: ZixCorp Systems, Inc.Inventors: Daniel Joseph Potkalesky, Mark Stephen DeMichele

Patent number: 11930018Abstract: According to some embodiments, a method performed by a classification scanner comprises receiving an electronic message and determining whether the electronic message includes an express indication from the user indicating that a classification applies to the electronic message. In response to determining that the electronic message does not include the express indication that the classification applies to the electronic message, the message further comprises sending the electronic message to a machine learning scanner. The machine learning scanner is adapted to use a machine learning policy to determine whether the classification applies to the electronic message.Type: GrantFiled: February 9, 2023Date of Patent: March 12, 2024Assignee: ZixCorp Systems, Inc.Inventors: Daniel Joseph Potkalesky, Mark Stephen DeMichele

Publication number: 20220405646Abstract: In some embodiments, a method comprises receiving an electronic message. In response to determining that the electronic message includes an express indication from a user that a classification applies or does not apply, the method comprises identifying message attributes of the electronic message that correspond to policy attributes of a machine learning policy and determining values of the policy attributes based on the identified message attributes. The method additionally comprises providing information to a machine learning trainer adapted to train the machine learning policy based on the information. The information comprises the values of the policy attributes and information indicating the classification that applies or does not apply to the electronic message, where such information is based on the express indication that the user included in the electronic message.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 23, 2022Publication date: December 22, 2022Inventors: David Gorham, Michael Don Wigley, Mark Stephen DeMichele
