Abstract: In one example, the present disclosure describes various methods, computer-readable media, and apparatuses for supporting social engineering attack prevention based on early detection and remediation of various types of social engineering attacks which may be initiated within various contexts. In one example, supporting social engineering attack prevention may include identifying a workflow to be protected, identifying, for the workflow, a set of valid resources of the workflow where the set of valid resources includes a set of artifacts and a set of templates, identifying, from a dataset associated with the workflow and based on the set of artifacts, a communication associated with the workflow, determining, based on an analysis of the communication based on the set of templates, that the communication is malicious, and initiating, based on the determination that the communication is malicious, a remediation action.

Abstract: Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, a method for training a deep learning model that includes encoding a content item; generating a blended image by combining a background image and the encoded content; decoding the blended image to generate decoded content corresponding to the content item; and defining or specifying a loss function related to the deep learning model. The method also includes determining values of training parameters for the deep learning model to minimize the loss function, thereby obtaining a trained deep learning model. The method also includes an information concealing procedure using the trained deep learning model to conceal user content by encoding the user content and blending the encoded user content with a user-selected image; the information concealing procedure is substantially independent of the user-selected image. Other embodiments are disclosed.

Abstract: A secure connection is facilitated between a device and a network. A security buffer device is used to determine an available network and connect to the network. The security buffer device can then allow the device to connect to the network via the security buffer device. The security buffer device can monitor any security breaches from the network and perform an action based on the indication of a security breach.

Abstract: An insider attack resistant system for providing cloud services integrity checking is disclosed. In particular, the system utilizes an automated integrity checking script and virtual machines to check the integrity of a service. The system may utilize the integrity checking script and virtual machines to execute a set of operations associated with the service so as to check the integrity of the service. When executing the set of operations, the system may only have access to the minimum level of access to peripherals that is required for each operation in the set of operations to be executed. After each operation is executed, the system may log each result for each operation, and analyze each result to determine if a failure exists for any of the operations. If a failure exists, the system may determine that a change in an expected system behavior associated with the service has occurred.

Abstract: Portable storage devices and methods for remotely managing such portable storage devices are disclosed. For example, a method receives a request from an endpoint device to send a command to a portable storage device. The method then authenticates the endpoint device that has sent the request. The method then transmits the command wirelessly to the portable storage device. Similarly, a portable storage device includes a processor and a computer-readable medium in communication with the processor, the computer-readable medium to store instructions. The instructions, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to perform operations that include: wirelessly receiving a command related to an access of a memory of the portable storage device, verifying an authenticity of the command and executing the command when the authenticity of the command is verified.

Abstract: A method, non-transitory computer readable medium and apparatus for securing user input and/or output on a mobile endpoint device. For example, the method receives an input on the mobile endpoint device, encrypts and authenticates the input in a trusted domain of the mobile endpoint device executing an application and sends the input that is encrypted and authenticated to an untrusted domain of the mobile endpoint device over a secure channel.
