  • Publication number: 20220207418
    Abstract: Various embodiments are generally directed to techniques for dynamically integrating ML functionality into computing systems, such as a content services platform (CSP), for instance. Many embodiments include ML integrated into a CSP and using production content as corpora (e.g., training and/or evaluation data). Some embodiments are particularly directed to generating and updating data for training and evaluating machine learning (ML) models, then making identified ML models available in various target environments. For example, embodiments may provide automatic, or semi-automatic, updating and deploying of ML models for making inferences, such as inferring labels for data in a content repository of a CSP.

  • Patent number: 11356483
    Abstract: A policy management server manages a segmentation policy for segmenting a network and a deception policy for implementing deception services. The policy management server distributes segmentation rules and deception rules to distributed enforcement modules that configure respective traffic filters to enforce the policies. The deception rule may be enforced directly by the traffic filter acting as a deception service, or the traffic filter may act as a proxy to an external deception service. The deception service can behave similarly to a real service to obtain information about the malicious actor that is reported to the policy management server to enable the policy management server to take a remedial action. Furthermore, the policy management server may automatically generate the deception policy based on the segmentation policy such that connection requests that are not allowed by the segmentation policy are automatically sent to a deception service.
