  • Patent number: 11178029
    Abstract: Methods, systems and articles of manufacture to generate file transfer monitoring criteria are disclosed. An example method obtains a file transfer log file from a first network entity and obtains from the transfer log file, file transfer metadata that is associated with file transfer activity between the first network entity and a second network entity. The file transfer metadata is used to generate a file transfer monitoring criterion that is associated with selectively monitoring the file transfer activity between the first network entity and the second network entity. Service level criteria associated with the file transfer event is automatically updated based on the file transfer monitoring criterion.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 9288189
    Abstract: A method, system and computer program product for retrieving both sensitive and non-sensitive content in a secure manner. After a proxy server establishes a secure connection between a client device and a web server, the client device receives the requested sensitive content, which includes an index file that contains a hash value that was generated by the web server. The web browser of the client device further issues a request to the proxy server to establish a non-secure connection to retrieve non-sensitive static content from the web server. After receiving the requested content, the web browser of the client device generates a hash value over the received content. If this generated hash value is equal to the hash value contained in the index file, then the web browser accepts the received non-sensitive static content. In this manner, both sensitive and non-sensitive content can be retrieved in a secure manner.
