  • Publication number: 20240087005
    Abstract: In a method for applying penalties or incentives to a driver of a rented vehicle, an indication that the driver has agreed to terms for renting the vehicle from the vehicle owner is received, with the terms including the potential application of penalties or incentives to the driver based on driving behavior. Telematics data, indicative of operation of the rented vehicle by the driver during a period of time, is received. By analyzing the telematics data, one or more driving behaviors of the driver during the time period is/are identified. For each driving behavior, a corresponding state of an environment of the rented vehicle when the driving behavior occurred is determined. One or more penalties or incentives are caused to be applied to the driver, based on the driving behavior(s) and the corresponding state(s) of the environment of the rented vehicle.

  • Publication number: 20240070293
    Abstract: Systems, computer program products, and methods are described herein for dynamically generating linked security tests. The present invention may be configured to perform security tests on an application, generate, based on the results of the security tests, security test sequences that include at least one security test that the application failed, perform the security test sequences on the application, and, iteratively and until the application passes each security test sequence in an iteration, generate additional security test sequences. The present invention may be further configured to provide results of the security tests and security test sequences to one or more machine learning models to generate supplementary security test sequences and determine probabilities of the application failing the supplementary security test sequences.

  • Patent number: 11915306
    Abstract: Embodiments described herein, inter alia, receive telematics data collected over a period of time, wherein the telematics data is indicative of operation of a vehicle by a potential renter during the period of time; identify, upon analyzing the telematics data, driving behavior(s) of the renter during the period of time; determine, for each driving behavior, a corresponding state of an environment of the vehicle when the driving behavior occurred; determine renter eligibility value(s) for the renter based on the driving behavior(s) and the corresponding state of an environment of the vehicle; compare the renter eligibility value(s) to user preference value(s) of a profile of a vehicle owner, wherein the user preference value(s) define one or more criteria for vehicle renters with whom the vehicle can be shared; and cause an indication of the vehicle associated with the profile to be displayed only if the renter satisfies the criteria.

  • Publication number: 20230224275
    Abstract: A device configured to receive a data sample about a configuration for one or more network devices in a public network. The device is further configured to compare one or more threat indicators to the data sample where each threat indicator is associated with a configuration setting. The device is further configured to identify a first network device in the public network that comprises a configuration that matches a threat indicator and to generate a bad actor profile for the first network device. The device is further configured to receive data traffic for a second network device in a private network and to block data communications between the second network device in the private network and the first network device in the public network in response to determining that the first network device is associated with the bad actor profile.

  • Patent number: 11663320
    Abstract: Embodiments of the invention are directed to systems, methods, and computer program products for creating an effective baseline for controlling software and programs running on a user device or virtual machine environment of an enterprise network. Historical data may be used to train one or more iterative machine learning processes for intelligently identifying relevant program characteristics and aiding or automating a determination as to a software or program's need, usage, redundancy, or security. Determinations regarding software or program classifications may be used for further review or automated control of software or program execution within a network environment.

  • Publication number: 20220327218
    Abstract: Systems, computer program products, and methods are described herein for dynamically performing linked security tests. The present invention may be configured to determine a fingerprint of an application, perform, in an order based on the fingerprint of the application, security test sequences on the application, parse responses of the application to the security test sequences to generate results of the security test sequences, and label, with the fingerprint, the results. The present invention may be further configured to provide, to one or more machine learning models, the labeled results to determine probabilities of applications having a same fingerprint as the fingerprint of the application failing the security test sequences, update, based on the probabilities of the applications failing the security test sequences, the order, and store, in a temporary persistent storage device and based on the updated order, the security test sequences.

  • Patent number: 11144436
    Abstract: Systems, computer program products, and methods are described herein for testing an application with dynamically linked security tests. The present invention may be configured to perform, using a request engine, based on the first data, and based on test protocols stored in a first data structure, a first security test on an application. The present invention may be further configured to determine, based on determining that the application failed the first security test and based on a second data structure, whether the first security test is linked to one or more other security tests, where the second data structure includes security test sequences linking security tests and/or data to transmit from the first security test to the one or more other security tests, and provide, to the first queue, one or more other security tests to which the first security test is linked.

  • Patent number: 10591582
    Abstract: Various technologies for mitigating distortion in coherent image products generated from SAR data are described herein. Synthetic aperture radar (SAR) datasets generated based upon SAR returns from first and second passes of a SAR platform over a scene are received. The SAR datasets can be co-notched at matching sample indices to improve coherence of SAR images generated from the datasets. Windowed SAR data is generated by applying independent windows to subsets of each of the datasets to reduce sidelobe levels of their image impulse responses. Coherent image products are generated based upon the windowed SAR data, wherein an image quality of the coherent image products is improved as compared to coherent image products generated based upon the SAR datasets.
