  • Publication number: 20190387006
    Abstract: Architectures and techniques for in-app behavior detection. A behavior detection agent within an application running on a hardware computing device captures events within the application. The events are inputs received from one or more sources external to the application. The behavior detection agent generates an event stream from the captured events. The behavior detection agent analyzes the event stream for significant feature frequencies and associations corresponding to one or more attack profiles. The behavior detection agent initiates an attack response in response to finding one or more significant feature frequencies and associations. The attack response comprises at least changing an operational configuration of the application.

  • Patent number: 10474342
    Abstract: One example method for navigating a scrollable user interface includes outputting to a display device the scrollable user interface, the scrollable user interface including a scroll-control target. The method further includes receiving a pointer input, and moving a position of a virtual pointer on the scrollable user interface responsive to the pointer input. Responsive to the virtual pointer being within a first region of the scroll-control target, the scrollable user interface is scrolled at a first speed. Responsive to the virtual pointer being within a second region of the scroll-control target, the scrollable user interface is scrolled at a second speed, faster than the first speed.

  • Patent number: 10382463
    Abstract: Threat detection in a multi-organizational environment. Attribute data corresponding to accesses to a multi-organizational environment and entity data corresponding to accesses to the multi-organizational environment are maintained. A graph based on the attribute data and the entity data where graph edges represent a relationship between an attribute and an entity is generated. Subsequent access are compared to the graph to determine if the subsequent access corresponds to a new relationship. The subsequent access is allowed if the subsequent access does not correspond to a new relationship. The subsequent access further analyzed if the subsequent access corresponds to a new, unexpected relationship.
