  • Publication number: 20260003999
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method is disclosed that includes receiving a notification that a submit option has been selected on a chat interface to a tool (e.g., a generative artificial intelligence (AI) tool) hosted at a remote network destination, cancelling the transmission of text from the chat interface to the generative AI tool is canceled in response to the notification. Text, initially intended to be submitted to the generative artificial intelligence tool from the chat interface, is obtained and scanned to determine whether the content of the text contains sensitive information. Typically, this determination is made based, at least in part, on the content of the text. Depending on an outcome of the determination, the computer either enables or prevents transmittal of the text from the chat interface to the generative artificial intelligence tool. If enabled, the computer typically and automatically reselects the submit option (without further involvement from the user).

  • Publication number: 20260004000
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method is disclosed for controlling the disclosure (e.g., flow) of sensitive information from a document in a computer application running on a computer endpoint device to a tool (e.g., a generative artificial intelligence tool) hosted at a remote network destination. The application is configured to selectively enable or disable in-line access to the remote generative artificial intelligence tool from within the document. The method includes receiving a notification (e.g., at a computer-implemented endpoint agent) that a document has been opened in the application, obtaining text from the open document, determining (e.g.

  • Publication number: 20250190594
    Abstract: A system preventing upload of a source file to an upload destination includes a computer, a user application, and an agent application. The agent registers for a notification of a user interface action with the computer operating system (OS), and receives notice from the OS of the user interface action associated with the registering. The agent determines the user interface action is indicative of a data file upload operation of a source file to an upload destination. The agent compares a property of the source file and a property of the upload destination to a blocking criteria and prevents the user application from receiving the user interface action. The user interface action includes detection by the OS of a user interaction with a controller of a graphical user interface pointer and/or a pressing of one or more keys on a keyboard user interface.

  • Publication number: 20250028820
    Abstract: A method includes monitoring user activities at an endpoint device on a network, determining if a user activity at the endpoint device presents a potential threat to network security, creating an alert of the threat, and providing the alert with a redacted version of a screenshot from the endpoint device. One or more open windows are obscured or removed in the redacted version of the screenshot of the endpoint device. Providing the redacted includes receiving data describing physical characteristics of the open window(s) from an operating system, receiving a screenshot of the screen of the endpoint device, and obscuring the one or more open windows by creating one or more visual covers. Each visual cover matches a size and shape of one of the open windows based on the data that describes the physical characteristics of the open window(s). Each visual cover is placed over the corresponding open window.

  • Patent number: 12164625
    Abstract: A system and method monitors access of an external storage device connected to a target device. A notification of a connection of the external storage device to the target device is received, a notification of an external file access on the external storage device is received, and activity of a user on the target device is monitored to detect a user operation accessing a source file stored on the target device. Events are logged based upon the connection, the user operation, and the external file access. Two or more of the events are associated with a copy of the source file to the external connected storage device and the source file history. An alert regarding the association is forwarded to a monitor application in communication with the target device.

  • Publication number: 20240330440
    Abstract: A system monitors access to a computer file via a dynamically changeable non-heterogeneous collection load balanced across two hash tables. User activity is monitored on a target device to detect a user entered pattern including a wildcard character, selects one of the two hash tables, and calculates an index for the selected hash table based on the user entered pattern. The index is used to access the selected hash table to receive a stored pattern. The hash tables each have a plurality of entries, and each entry includes a list of one or more patterns that have the same hash index but different pattern values sorted by length in characters from longest to shortest. The first hash table is a direct hash table, and the second hash table is a reverse hash table.

  • Patent number: 11811894
    Abstract: A computer-based method of reducing or limiting data transmissions from a computer to a remote network destination includes receiving an indication, at an agent on a computer, that a recent user activity has occurred at the computer. The indication typically includes data relevant to user context when the user activity occurred. The method further includes determining, with the agent, whether the data relevant to the user's context when the user activity occurred indicates that a change in user context relative to a user activity at the computer immediately prior to the recent user activity and conditioning a transmission of data relevant to the recent user activity from the computer to a remote network destination based on an outcome of the determination.

  • Patent number: 11775670
    Abstract: A system for preventing duplication of a computer source file to a destination file includes a user application accessed by a user of a computer. An agent application hosted by the computer registers for a notification of a user interface action with an operating system (OS) of the computer. The agent receives notice from the OS of the user interface action and determines if the user interface action is indicative of a data file duplication operation of a source file to a destination file location The Agent compares a property of the source file and a property of the destination file location to a blocking criteria, and blocks the user interface action from reaching the application.

  • Patent number: 11747966
    Abstract: A computer-based method includes: receiving an indication from a computer's operating system that a user has performed a first action that may have caused a context menu with a paste option to open on a screen of the computer, and subsequently receiving an indication from the computer's operating system that the user has performed a second action at the computer that may have amounted to a selection of the paste option on the context menu. In response to the indication from the computer's operating system that the user has performed the second action, the method includes determining if the second action by the user amounted to a selection of the paste option on the context menu and thereby cause a paste action to occur.
