  • METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR ANALYZING CYBERSECURITY THREATS
    Publication number: 20200258004
    Abstract: To analyze cybersecurity threats, an analysis module of a processor may receive log data from at least one network node. The analysis module may identify at least one statistical outlier within the log data. The analysis module may determine that the at least one statistical outlier represents a cybersecurity threat by applying at least one machine learning algorithm to the at least one statistical outlier.

  • Context agent injection using virtual machine introspection
    Patent number: 9015704
    Abstract: A computer implemented method, apparatus, and computer usable program code for executing a process within a virtual machine. A module is injected into an operating system for the virtual machine to form an injected module. The injected module is executed to load an agent process within an application space within the virtual machine. Execution of the agent process is initiated by the injected module.

  • Method and apparatus for web resource validation
    Patent number: 8145726
    Abstract: Method and apparatus for Web resource validation. Embodiments may provide a Web resource validation service for validating Web services and Web sites in general. Embodiments may be implemented internally in a Web entity's architecture and/or exposed externally as a Web service. In embodiments, a client configures a call to the Web service or Web site under test according to a Web resource validation service (WRVS) request schema that specifies validation requirements. The client then submits the WRVS request to the Web resource validation service. The Web resource validation service calls the Web service or Web site under test as specified in the WRVS request, and validates the response received from the Web service or Web site under test as specified in the WRVS request. Results of the validation are returned to the client formatted according to a WRVS response schema.
