Abstract: Various embodiments include systems and methods to implement a security posture recommender system. The security posture recommender system may improve the security posture of a deployment of assets by generating recommendation data indicating how to modify the deployment of assets. A deployment may be described by deployment data. The recommendation data may be based on similarities and/or differences between deployment data for a particular user and deployment data associated with users that are within a cluster of users similar to the particular user.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are methods, systems, and processes for centralized containerized deployment of network traffic sensors to network sensor hosts for deep packet inspection (DPI) that supports various other cybersecurity operations. A network sensor package containing a pre-configured network sensor container is received by a network sensor host from a network sensor deployment server. Installation of the network sensor package on the network sensor host causes execution of the network sensor container that further causes deployment of an on-premise network sensor along with a network sensor management system, a DPI system, and an intrusion detection/prevention (IDS/IPS) system. The configurable on-premise network sensor is deployed on multiple operating system distributions of the network sensor host and generates actionable network metadata using DPI techniques for optimized log search and management and improved intrusion detection and response (IDR) operations.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are methods, systems, and processes for accepting and servicing interface agnostic validated unified platform queries. A request for shared data associated with web applications received from a user interface that is rendered by a client based on a specification is intercepted. The request is forwarded to a unified application programming interface (API) instead of a disparate unique API associated with the web applications. The request from the client is authenticated externally using the unified API and the request for the shared data is authorized to be displayed in the user interface based on the unified API instead of the specification.

Abstract: New intrusion detection system (IDS) rules to be deployed on an IDS that generates alerts based on an applied ruleset are accessed. A trial window that includes incorporating the new IDS rules into a candidate list to enable summarization and filtering of the alerts is started and the applied ruleset that includes existing IDS rules is supplemented with the candidate list that includes the new IDS rules. The applied ruleset is transmitted to a network sensor associated with the IDS upon the supplementation and alerts generated based on network events implicated by both the existing IDS rules and the new IDS rules in the applied ruleset are received from the IDS. Upon completion of the trial window, a set of alerts generated only by the new IDS rules in the applied ruleset are designated as suppressed alerts and a set of new IDS rules is eliminated from the applied ruleset upon determining that the set of new IDS rules generate a subset of alerts that exceed an alert threshold.

Abstract: A modification to an applied ruleset intended for consumption by intrusion detection systems (IDSs) is detected. A service event that is configured to push the applied ruleset to a set of test network sensors associated with the IDSs is triggered. A service subscribed to the service event updates the set of test network sensors with the applied ruleset and designates a configuration version to the applied ruleset. A notification is received from the set of test network sensors that the applied ruleset has been tested and is ready for deployment to other network sensors and a request is received to deploy the applied ruleset to a set of network sensors. A determination is made whether the request includes the configuration version designated to the applied ruleset by the service. If the request includes the configuration version designated to the applied ruleset, the request to deploy the applied ruleset to the set of network sensors is authorized.

Abstract: A series of thieno[2,3-b]pyridine derivatives which are substituted in the 2-position by a substituted anilino moiety, being selective inhibitors of human MEK (MAPKK) enzymes, are accordingly of benefit in medicine, for example in the treatment of inflammatory, autoimmune, cardiovascular, proliferative (including oncological) and nociceptive conditions.

Abstract: A collapsible remote mechanical grasping apparatus that can be used to grasp explosive devices is provided. The collapsible remote mechanical grasping apparatus comprises a first rod and a second rod which are connected by a joint assembly. The collapsible remote mechanical grasping apparatus further includes a claw assembly pivotably connected to the second rod, a cable assembly mounted to the first rod, and a slidable locking sleeve assembly positioned around the first rod, the joint assembly, and the second rod. The cable assembly comprises a claw control lever and an actuation cable that is mechanically connected to the claw control lever and the claw assembly. Actuation of the claw control lever causes the actuation of the claw assembly. Additionally, the joint assembly allows the second rod to pivot towards the first rod when the slidable locking sleeve is retracted from the second rod and the joint assembly.
