Abstract: An enterprise level Application Programming Interface (API) driven service to integrate and automate data quality processes within organizations is provided. The service has capabilities to ingest data from heterogenous data sources and provide data quality metrics irrespective of data domain type. A subscribing application can write Data Quality (DQ) checks as code using templates of a customized rule engine and generate metrics based on pre-defined schedules. Analytics and visualization and reporting capabilities of the service empower stakeholders such as data managers, application developers, and risk assessors to obtain actionable insights into data quality. Stakeholders can use service-generated DQ measures, such as accuracy, completeness, and timeliness, to identify data quality concerns and proactively implement remediation actions to reduce data use risk.

Abstract: Described are computer-based methods and apparatuses, including computer program products, for detecting fraudulent activity. A computing device in a second network receives a plurality of interactions between data centers in a first network and one or more devices, remote from the data centers, of a user, the interactions forming an aggregate user session representing the user's activity over a period of time with the data centers via the devices. The computing device monitors data transaction requests of the interactions and is configured to respond to each request with a response that appears as if the request was executed. If the interactions are harmful, the computing device interdicts the interactions from execution by the data centers and allows the devices to submit additional interactions. If unable to determine whether the subsequent interactions are harmful, the computing device transmits the interactions to the data centers for execution and marks the interactions.

Abstract: Described are computer-based methods and apparatuses, including computer program products, for subscribing to data feeds on a network. An user utilizes a transmitting device to transmit data packets that are split between a plurality of data centers for processing. The data packets are captured at the data centers. The data packets are recombined. The recombined data can be analyzed for fraud detection, marketing analysis, network intrusion detection, customer service analysis, and/or performance analysis. If fraudulent activity is detected, then the user can be interdicted to prevent further fraudulent activity.

Abstract: Described are computer-based methods and apparatuses, including computer program products, for detecting fraudulent activity on a network. A user utilizes a transmitting device to transmit user requests that are split between a plurality of data centers for processing. The user requests are captured at the data centers. The user requests are unified into a user session. The user session can be analyzed for fraud detection, marketing analysis, network intrusion detection, customer service analysis, and/or performance analysis. If fraudulent activity is detected, then the user can be interdicted to prevent further fraudulent activity.

Abstract: An application destined for a client VoIP device is available at a service provider 20 and is loaded first to a client-side device over an unsecure public network, using a secure protocol. The VoIP device is not able to receive the application directly using the secure protocol and the client side device is instructed to load the application to the client VoIP device over a private network using an unsecure protocol.

Abstract: Described are computer-based methods and apparatuses, including computer program products, for detecting and interdicting fraudulent activity on a network.

Abstract: Described are computer-based methods and apparatuses, including computer program products, for reconstructing data on a network. An user utilizes a transmitting device to transmit data packets that are split between a plurality of data centers for processing. The data packets are captured at the data centers. The data packets are recombined. The recombined data can be analyzed for fraud detection, marketing analysis, network intrusion detection, customer service analysis, and/or performance analysis.

Abstract: Described are computer-based methods and apparatuses, including computer program products, for detecting fraudulent activity on a network using stored information. An user utilizes a transmitting device to transmit user requests that are split between a plurality of data centers for processing. The user requests are captured at the data centers. The user requests are unified into an user session. The user session can be analyzed for fraud detection, marketing analysis, network intrusion detection, customer service analysis, and/or performance analysis.

Abstract: Described are methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer program products for providing user selectable multimodal information services. A user is enabled to select a response mode from a plurality of modes associated with a request type. The response mode defines a representation format of information associated with the request type. A request message is received from the user. The request message is capable of having been transmitted by any one of the plurality of modes and is associated with the request type. The selected response mode is determined based on the request message. A response message based on the selected response mode is transmitted.

Abstract: Described are methods and apparatus, including computer program products, for automated testing of a handheld device over a network. A first predefined test is executed on a handheld device to generate a first element with a first predefined value for a first parameter associated with the first element and the first element is transmitted over a communication network to a desktop computing device. Receipt of the first element is verified at the desktop computing device. Also verified is that the first parameter associated with the first element has the first predefined value.
