  • Publication number: 20250053601
    Abstract: A Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) discovery system is implemented that evaluates web configuration servers obtained from web servers to determine the existence and configuration of URIs hosted by the web servers. To discover URIs, the URI discovery system may obtain web server configuration files, and other metadata, from collection agents executing on web servers. The web server configuration files may then be parsed to evaluate the combinations of hosts, paths, and ports for the web server that may correspond to respective URIs. A URI discovery result may then be generated that describes the discovered URIs and includes configurations of the different URIs. The URI discovery result may be stored in an entry for the web server.

  • Publication number: 20250007939
    Abstract: A software agent executing on a computing device receives a request from a client to provide data associated with neighboring devices to the computing device. The client includes a scan engine to perform a network scan of a network that includes the computing device. The software agent accesses device data in a cache of an operating system command, determines, based on the device data, an identifier associated with each device that is neighboring the computing device, converts the device data into a standardized format to create neighboring device data, and sends the neighboring device data to the client.

  • Publication number: 20240354054
    Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure relate to computing platforms that utilize improved natural language processing techniques for claims processing. A computing platform may receive an audio file and determine one or more utterance segments based on the audio file. The computing platform may generate and send one or more audio chunks based on the one or more utterance segments to an audio transcription system. The computing platform may receive one or more text segments in response and may generate an audio transcription file accordingly. The computing platform may assign a category to each word in the audio transcription file, and may send user interface information to a user device along with one or more commands directing the user device to generate a user interface based on the user interface information, which may cause the user device to display the user interface.
