Abstract: Provided are methods and systems for suggesting an enhanced multimodal interaction. The method for suggesting at least one modality of interaction, includes: identifying, by an electronic device, initiation of an interaction by a user with a first device using a first modality; detecting, by the electronic device, an intent of the user and a state of the user based on the identified initiated interaction; determining, by the electronic device, at least one of a second modality and at least one second device, to continue the initiated interaction, based on the detected intent of the user and the detected state of the user; and providing, by the electronic device, a suggestion to the user to continue the interaction with the first device using the determined second modality, by indicating the second modality on the first device or the at least one second device.

Abstract: Embodiments of the runtime risk assessment process monitors deliberate or potentially data destructive operations against a filter of dynamic risk assessment. A filter process recognizes the following conditions as highly indicative of increased risk factors: (1) recent creation of the security officer role, (2) changing of the system time or clock, and (3) disabling of system alerts. If all three of these events occur, the system recognizes this as indicative of a high probability of data attack. The runtime risk assessment process imposes a delay on the execution of each of these commands to provide time to alert the user and an opportunity to re-enter the commands at the end of the delay period. Thus, a potentially dangerous sequence of commands will not occur automatically or immediately, but will instead be delayed to provide an extra validation check or user action.

Abstract: Embodiments of a system and method to prevent mass deletion of data in a data storage system. A data deletion operation comprises a delete operation marking blocks to be deleted followed by a garbage collection (GC) operation to remove marked blocks from storage media. Based on historical information regarding deletions per GC cycle, the storage system can detect any significant deviations as potentially dangerous. If a deletion in excess of a deviation threshold is seen, the next GC operation is skipped to provide a delay period during which time the user can investigate the data delete command and restore data if necessary. De-risking conditions such as known abnormal high deletion periods or new system installation can be used to override any garbage collection delay.

Abstract: In implementations of systems for generating stroked paths, a computing device implements a stroked path system to receive input data describing a vector object having a filled path. The stroked path system generates a medial axis for the filled path by performing a medial axis transform on a boundary of the filled path. A stroke width is estimated based on distances between the medial axis and the boundary of the filled path that are normal to the medial axis. The stroked path system generates a stroked path for display in a user interface that is visually similar to the filled path based on the medial axis and the stroke width.

Abstract: Techniques for virtual private network (VPN) services over optical networks. Client data is received from a source device connected to a first node in an optical communication network. The client data is for transmission over the optical communication network to a destination device connected to a second node in the optical communication network. The client data is transmitted from the source device to the destination device using a layer 2 (L2) virtual network connection between the source device and the destination device. This includes transmitting the client data from the first node to the second node over an optical transport network (OTN) path through the optical communication network using a frame. The second node is configured to receive the frame and transmit the client data to the destination device based on an identifier in the frame.

Abstract: Protecting data in non-volatile storages provided to clouds against malicious attacks. According to an aspect, multiple malicious patterns indicating respective malicious attacks to access non-volatile storages provided to clouds in a cloud infrastructure are maintained. When an access request is received, the data stream representing the access request is examined to determine whether the data stream contains any of the malicious patterns. If the data stream is found not to contain any malicious pattern, it is concluded that the access request is free of the malicious attacks. If the data stream is found to contain at least one malicious pattern, it is concluded that the access request is a malicious attack corresponding to the malicious pattern.

Abstract: A multi-tenant sidecar application is created that allows entities to create contexts for each tenant, onboard users, assign users to contexts, and define roles and permissions for each user assigned to a context. When an application is onboarded into the sidecar application for an entity, an API is exposed to the application that allows it to receive details on the various users, contexts, and roles and permissions associated with the application. Only users who authenticate through an identity provider or an identity service provider may be allowed access to the API. Later, a user associated with the entity may use the sidecar application to log into an onboarded application and the application may retrieve the roles and contexts associated with the user for the entity using the API. The application may then be configured for the user according to the retrieved context and roles.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and machine-readable media facilitate adaptive multi-system operations. Electronic communications from resource-controlling systems and/or monitoring devices may be monitored to identify signals corresponding to processes performed by the resource-controlling systems, resource capacities of resources controlled by the resource-controlling systems, and states of the resource-controlling systems. System interactions that correspond to a defined event may be detected. A protocol that includes parameter constraints mapped to the defined event identified. Operating conditions of the resource-controlling systems and/or metrics of processes performed may be determined based on the monitoring. A subset of the resource-controlling systems may be identified as a function of the operating conditions and/or the metrics. A resource-controlling system may be caused to allocate corresponding resources and perform the processes in accordance with the protocol.
