Abstract: A network-accessible cyber-threat security analytics service is configured to receive and respond to requests that originate as name queries to a Domain Name System (DNS) service. Threat intelligence information provided by the service is organized into threat intelligence zones that correspond to zones exposed via the DNS service. Upon receipt of a DNS query, the query having been generated by an application seeking access to threat intelligence data exposed by the service, the query is translated into a DNS zone-specific API request based on the type of threat intelligence information sought. The zone-specific API request is then used to retrieve the requested threat intelligence information from a threat intelligence database. The requested threat intelligence information is then returned to the application by being encoded as part of a response to the DNS query. In this manner, the DNS protocol is leverage to facilitate highly-efficient access and retrieval of threat intelligence information.

Abstract: Mechanisms are provided to implement a malicious activity response system (MARS) that automatically identifies and handles malicious activities within the data processing system. The MARS identifies threat intelligence associated with characteristics of malicious activity. The MARS forms a hypothesis for the malicious attack to identify a malicious attack that is occurring. The MARS identifies a trap for use in isolating the malicious activity; deploys the trap and automatically reconfiguring a network associated with the data processing system such that the malicious activity is routed to the trap thereby isolating the malicious activity, observes a behavior of the malicious activity within the trap; and extracts features associated with the malicious activity in the trap. The MARS then utilizes the extracted features to improve an operation of the malicious activity response system in handling future malicious activity.

Abstract: The invention relates to a winding machine, on which, in alternation, a wound package is wound in a winding position of a spindle, while at the same time a completely wound package is removed from another spindle. With winding machines according to the prior art, the completely wound package must be removed quickly before the other wound package has reached a critical diameter to avoid a collision of their lateral faces. According to the invention, a shifting device shifts the completely wound package before or during the winding process of the wound package such that the axial extensions of the wound packages have no overlap. The collision of the wound packages can thus be prevented as the diameter of the wound package increases, whereby a more compact design with a smaller spacing of the spindles is made possible and an operator has more time to remove the completely wound spool.
