  • Publication number: 20240340268
    Abstract: Systems and methods for implementing filters within computer networks include obtaining blocklist data that includes blocklist entries for a network. Each of the blocklist entries includes one or more network traffic attributes for identifying traffic to be blocked. In response to receiving the blocklist data, a filter based on a common network traffic attribute shared between at least two of the plurality of blocklist entries is generated. The filter is then deployed to a network device within the network such that the filter may be implemented at the network device to block corresponding traffic.

  • Publication number: 20240340318
    Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure involve utilizing network threat information to manage one or more security devices or policies of a communication network. The security system may receive threat intelligence data or information associated with potential threats to a communications network and process the threat intelligence data to determine one or more configurations to apply to security devices of a network. The system may then generate a rule or action to respond to the identified attack, such as a firewall rule for a firewall device to block traffic from the source of the attack. The threat intelligence information may include a confidence score indicating a calculated confidence in the identification of the malicious communications, which may be utilized by the system to determine the type of action taken on the security devices of the network in response to the information or data.

  • Patent number: 12089777
    Abstract: A cooking appliance includes a body defining a cooking cavity. A door is rotatably coupled to the body. An imager assembly is coupled to an interior surface of the door. The imager assembly includes an image sensor configured to obtain image data within a field of view, a first primary mirror positioned at a first angle proximate to the image sensor and within the field of view, and a second primary mirror positioned at a second angle proximate to the image sensor and within the field of view. A secondary mirror assembly includes multiple secondary mirrors coupled to the body within the cooking cavity. The secondary mirrors reflect image views within the cooking cavity to the first primary mirror and the second primary mirror which reflects the image views to the image sensor to be captured as the image data.

  • Publication number: 20240102352
    Abstract: Described herein are embodiments of systems, apparatuses, and methods that include an improved packer bypass assembly. The packer bypass assembly includes a first end and a second end, where a primary bore extends between the first and second end. The packer bypass assembly further includes a bypass bore through which flow may travel separate from that in the primary bore. The bypass bore may include a check valve that only permits flow in one direction. By providing two flow bores that support flow in opposite directions in the same packer bypass assembly, gas injected into an annulus between the casing and the packer bypass assembly can “bypass” the packer assembly and travel to an injection valve situated in the well below the packer.
