  • Publication number: 20250080546
    Abstract: A method of detecting an MFA attack includes identifying at least one MFA failure condition corresponding to at least one failed login attempt of a user, detecting a successful login attempt of the user following the identification of the at least one MFA failure condition, determining whether a login violation condition of the successful login attempt occurs within a first predetermined time period from the detection of the successful login attempt, determining an MFA attack occurs based on determining that the login violation condition occurs within the first predetermined time period.

  • Publication number: 20250080563
    Abstract: For more efficient confirmation of a successful cyberattack simulation, as a plurality of security tests are executed as a series on a testing processor, a search processor searches an activity log of a device targeted by the security tests for indicators of each test. The searches may execute in parallel with the tests on their respective processors. A test result for a test thereby reflects both the search result and the response of a security device to the execution of the test.

  • Publication number: 20240256652
    Abstract: Software attacks directed to compromising an insecurely-stored credential on a device may be detected and mitigated by detection of each of an initial stage and a subsequent stage through identifiers within an activity log of the device. Detection of an initial identifier indicating a possible attempt to locate an insecurely-stored credential indicates an occurrence of the initial stage. Detection, within a search window commencing upon detection of the initial stage, of a subsequent identifier indicating a possible attempt to determine context for the insecurely-stored credential indicates an occurrence of the subsequent stage. Responsive to detection of the initial stage and the subsequent stage, a response target associated with the detected identifiers is identified, and a security response associated with the response target is performed to thereby mitigate exploitation of the insecurely-stored credential.

  • Publication number: 20240223602
    Abstract: A method implemented on an electronic device detects and mitigates software attacks exploiting a zero-day vulnerability, such as Spring4Shell, against a computer server. At least one initial identifier, which indicates an attempt to extract a predetermined type of information on the computer server, is detected within an activity log of the computer server to thereby indicate occurrence of an initial stage. Then, prior to elapsing of a search window having a predetermined time duration, at least one subsequent identifier, which indicates an attempt to perform remote code execution on the computer server, is detected within the activity log of the computer server. Then, a source of network activity associated with the detected identifiers is detected, and a security response associated with the identified source of network activity is performed to mitigate the exploitation of the vulnerability.

  • Patent number: 8096380
    Abstract: A transfer robot that is safe and produced at low cost is provided. A transfer robot (100) includes a base (7) fixable to a floor surface, a link mechanism provided on the base (7), an arm rotatably attached to the base (7) by the link mechanism, casters attached to a lower surface of the arm and used to move the arm, and a holding section provided on an upper surface of the arm to hold a carriage (13). The link mechanism includes a motor, a first reduction mechanism rotated by the motor, and a second reduction mechanism coupled to the first reduction mechanism and rotating the arm.

  • Publication number: 20110036197
    Abstract: To provide a clamping device capable of clamping an object even when variations are large, and a wheeled platform. A clamping device 10 includes an actuator that moves straight, a link 2 that extends in a direction perpendicular to a straight-movement direction of the actuator, and a clamp portion 3 rotatably attached at both ends of the link 2, the clamp portion comprising a nail portion 3a to clamp a portion to be clamped 8. The actuator moves straight and the clamp portion 3 rotates in such a manner that the clamp portion 3 opens from the inside toward the outside to clamp the portion to be clamped 8.
