Abstract: A method for authenticated asset assessment is provided. The method involves executing a scan assistant on an asset to allow a remote scan engine to execute one or more scan operations on the asset for determining a state of the asset. The scan assistant may verify the identity of the scan engine by checking that a certificate received from the scan engine is signed with a private key associated with the scan engine. In some embodiments, the authentication may be performed as part of a TLS handshake process that establishes a TLS connection between the scan engine and the scan assistant. Once the scan engine is authenticated, the scan engine may communicate with the scan assistant according to a communication protocol to collect data about the asset. Advantageously, the disclosed technique reduces security risks associated with authenticated scans and improves the performance of authenticated scans.

Abstract: According to various aspects, systems and methods are provided for automatically matching recruiters to job openings. The system may train one or more models that determine a measure of compatibility between a recruiter and a job opening.

In some embodiments, the attributes of the data and the features themselves are kept private within the data silos. The method includes a distributed learning algorithm whereby a plurality of data spaces are co-populated with artificial, evenly distributed data, and then the data spaces are carved into smaller portions whereupon the number of real and artificial data points are compared. Through an iterative process, clusters having less than evenly distributed real data are discarded. A plurality of final quality control measurements are used to merge clusters that are too similar to be meaningful. These distributed quality control measures are then combined from each of the data silos to derive an overall quality control metric.
