Abstract: A method, including defining rules for protecting sensitive data, each of the rules including a reference URL and a reference JSON data mapping to an item of the sensitive data in a JSON payload. A proxy receives, from an application executing on a host computer, a query including a URL for data hosted by a server, and forwards the URL to the server. The proxy receives, from the server, a response to the forwarded URL, the response including a set of values stored in respective mappings. The URL and the mappings in the response are compared to the rules; and upon detecting a match between a given rule and a combination including the URL and a given mapping in the response, the proxy anonymizes by the proxy, the value stored at the given mapping in the response, and forwards the response, including the anonymized value, to the software application.

Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to systems and techniques for improved geofence registration for automatic detection of geographic region crossings. In one example, the systems and techniques can register a first geofence encompassing a first area, wherein the first area is associated with a first location coordinate.

Based on the occurrence of the geofence event for at least one of the additional geofences, an exit notification can be generated for the refined geofence area of the composite geofence.

Abstract: Embodiments for automatically optimizing and persisting database views by receiving queries made to a database, wherein each query generates a respective database view, and generating a set of database maintained views generated by the queries. The system obtains, for each generated view, certain telemetry information about a respective view including latency, memory space utilization, and processor utilization, among other factors. It then scores each view of the generated views based on an base score modified by the obtained information to determine which one or more of the generated views to make persistent, and maintains the one or more persistent views to produce an optimized persistent set of database views. It further adapts later queries to use the optimized persistent views.

Abstract: Methods and systems for curating data by a data manager are disclosed. Data may be curated from various data sources before being provided to downstream consumers that may rely on the trustworthiness of the curated data in order to provide desired computer-implemented services. During the data curation process, data curation resources are used to improve the trustworthiness and/or value of the collected data. However, data curation resources (e.g., data curators, computing resources) may be limited and/or insufficient to perform the data curation process as desired, which may result in unusable and/or uncurated (e.g., untrustworthy) data. Thus, portions of the data (e.g., curation targets) may be prioritized (e.g., relative to other curation targets). The curation targets may be curated with the available data curation resources based on their relative priority in order to reduce the likelihood of providing untrustworthy data to entities (e.g.

Abstract: Methods and systems for managing operation of a data pipeline are disclosed. To manage the data pipeline, a system may include one or more data sources, a data repository, and one or more downstream consumers. Updates to the data pipeline may cause the data pipeline to become misaligned. To avoid misalignment and, therefore, failure of the data pipeline, information regarding the operation of the data pipeline may be distributed and used to decide how to update the data pipeline. The update may be evaluated through simulation prior to implementation.

Abstract: Methods and systems for curating data by a data manager are disclosed. Data may be curated from various data sources before being supplied to downstream consumers, and the downstream consumers may rely on the trustworthiness of the curated data to facilitate desired computer-implemented services. Therefore, to identify data (e.g., poisoned data) that, if provided to downstream consumers may negatively impact the desired computer-implemented services, the data may undergo anomaly detection. Data anomalies indicating the presence of poisoned data may be identified based on anomaly patterns exhibited by the data. However, an anomaly pattern may be likely to appear by chance (e.g., may incorrectly indicate the presence of poisoned data) in large volumes of complex data. Therefore, anomaly detection may be coupled with false positive detection in order to manage false positive anomalies. When a true positive anomaly (e.g., poisoned data) is detected, the poisoned portion may be identified and/or remediated.

Abstract: Methods and systems for managing operation of a data pipeline are disclosed. To manage the operation, a system may include one or more data sources, a data manager, and one or more downstream consumers. Changes to a system of representation of information in data requested by the downstream consumers may cause the data pipeline to provide unusable data to the downstream consumers. To remediate the change, a translation schema may be obtained to translate data based on an unexpected system of representation of information to data based on an expected system of representation of information. The translation schema may be tested and, if the translation schema is determined successful, a translation layer may be added to the data pipeline based on the translation schema.

Abstract: Methods and systems for remediating impaired devices in a deployment are disclosed. The devices may be remediated by repairing or replacing the devices. Whether to repair or replace the devices may depend on the operational and performance costs of running the impaired devices in the deployment. Operational costs may include the retail price of the device and any energy requirements to run the impaired device. Performance costs may include effects of the output of the impaired device on other devices along the pathway of devices. If the integrated costs of the operational costs and performance costs outweigh the sum of the individual operational costs and performance costs, then the device may be replaced; otherwise, the device may be repaired.

Abstract: Methods and systems for curating data from data sources are disclosed. Data may be curated from various data sources before being supplied to downstream consumers that may rely on the trustworthiness of the curated data to facilitate desired computer-implemented services. During data curation, collected data may undergo anomaly detection to identify anomalies in the data. Data anomalies may indicate the presence of poisoned data that, if provided to downstream consumers, may negatively impact the desired computer-implemented services. When poisoned data is detected among the data, a poisoned portion of the data may be identified using an optimization process. The optimization process may consider the degree of anomalousness of the data (e.g., using statistical representations of the anomaly) and/or characteristics of the data source that supplied the anomalous data to identify the poisoned portion. Remedial actions may be identified and/or performed in order to reduce an impact of the poisoned data.
