Abstract: A computer security system includes a test management system and associated communication architecture that enables creation of customized tests of computer security application features. A server stores a test script in a custom scripting language. The test script includes a set of control statements that may be organized in a decision tree to control facilitation of the test. Clients poll the server to independently obtain and execute the control statements. Execution of the control statements control which clients participate in a test, which feature will be tested in the test, and what telemetry data will be collected from the clients to evaluate the test. The server evaluates the telemetry data to determine an outcome of the test and determines whether to further distribute or roll back the tested feature based on the test outcome. The testing can be utilized to rapidly and robustly deploy features that will enhance computer security.

Abstract: Client devices detect malware based on a ruleset received from a security server. To evaluate a current ruleset, an administrative client device initiates a ruleset evaluation of the malware detection ruleset. A security server partitions stored malware samples into a group of evaluation lists based on an evaluation policy. The security server then creates scanning nodes on an evaluation server according to the evaluation policy. The scanning nodes scan the malware samples of the evaluation lists using the rulesets and associate each malware sample with a rule of the ruleset based on the detections, if any. The security server analyzes the associations and optimizes the ruleset and stored malware samples. The security server sends the optimized ruleset to client devices such that they more efficiently detect malware samples.

Abstract: A computer implemented method determines a placement of an application being added to a network. The method includes determining a logical-physical mapping for the application. Sub-graphs in the logical-physical mapping are identified. A stored application in a catalog of applications previously used in the network is located.

Abstract: A malware infection prediction method predicts a likelihood that a client device is to be infected with in a period of time based on state and behavior telemetry data. A malware infection prediction system receives telemetry data associated with use (i.e. behavior data) and configuration (i.e. state data) of a client device. By using a trained model, the system predicts a likelihood of the client device becoming infected within a given time frame. Based on the predicted likelihood, the system generates recommendations including recommended actions for reducing the likelihood of the client device becoming infected. The system then generates notifications including the recommendations and sends the notifications to the client device or to an administrative account associated with the client device.

Abstract: Utterances spoken or sung by a first person can be received, in real time. The detected utterances can be compared to at least a stored sample of utterances spoken or sung by the first person. Based on the comparing, audio of the utterances spoken or sung by the first person can be isolated from a background noise. A volume of the utterances spoken or sung by a first person relative to the background noise can be determined. A key indicator that indicates the volume of the detected utterances spoken or sung by the first person relative to the background noise can be generated. Based on the key indicator, information indicating the volume of the detected utterances spoken or sung by the first person relative to the background noise can be communicated.
