Abstract: Methods, systems, apparatuses, and computer-readable storage mediums are described for authorizing publishing of a message and/or a subscription from an Internet of Things (IoT) device. In an example system, a message broker receives a list of attributes from a claims provider. The message broker determines whether publishing of the message is authorized based at least on the list of attributes, and publishes the message if it is determined that the publishing is authorized. The message broker may also receive a subscription specifying a topic filter. The message broker determines whether the subscription is authorized for the IoT device based at least on the list of attributes, and transmits a subscription message to the IoT device if it is determined that the subscription is authorized.

Abstract: A method of preventing queries from accessing database files based on metadata. The method includes determining a first metadata associated with a particular file and a second metadata associated with a changed version of the particular file. The method includes directing, based on the first metadata associated with the particular file, a first query for the particular file to a first file that is associated with the particular file. The method includes preventing a second query for the particular file from accessing the particular file by directing, based on the second metadata associated with the changed version of the particular file, the second query to the changed version of the particular file instead of the particular file.

Abstract: Techniques for identifying and managing an organization's remote attack surface that account for the fluid nature of the remote attack surface are described. Data collected from organization-issued endpoint devices are obtained and analyzed to determine public IP addresses used by the endpoint devices. The devices connected to external networks (i.e., non-organization networks) at various time windows are identified by distinguishing between public IP addresses that are associated with the organization and those that are not. Data obtained from ongoing global probing of public IP addresses, which at least indicate software instances hosted on networks corresponding to the public IP address, are correlated with each public IP address determined to be associated with an external network to which an endpoint device has connected. From these data, any security risks that connections to external networks may pose to the organization's network can be identified.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method is provided for estimating a weight of a patient when supported on a patient table. Optical image data and depth image data are obtained and patient body keypoints are extracted from the optical image data. A first frame is selected which comprises an image of the patient table, by selecting a frame in which no body keypoints are present in the optical image data. A second frame is selected of the patient on the table, by selecting a frame with patient body keypoints and with little or no movement. A patient volume is obtained based on a difference between the depth image data for the first and second frame (or depth data at those times) and the patient weight is estimated from the determined patient volume.

Abstract: A policy management system can manage a set of insurance policies, for example by performing automated operations to renew policies for subsequent terms. Some insurance policies may be associated with the same household, company, or other insured party, but may be associated with different cars or other insured elements. The policy management system can have a policy consolidator that identifies database records for a target policy and a related source policy, and can consolidate data from the source policy into the record of the target policy. Thereafter, the policy management system can perform policy renewal operations and other policy management operations together based on the consolidated data in the record for the target policy.
