  • Patent number: 11604698
    Abstract: A system for processing a file stored on a computing system includes causing a processor of the system to obtain file usage data that is indicative of a number of times the file is loaded into a memory of the system and to obtain file-size data that is indicative of a size the file. The system further includes causing the processor to obtain metadata indicative of contents the file and to determine a file value based on the file usage data and at least one of the file-size data, the metadata, or a file-identifier value that is derived from an identifier of the file, where the file value comprising a quantitative or qualitative indicator of a value of the file. The system additionally includes causing the processor to adjust processing of the file relative to processing of other files associated with the computing system based on the file value.

  • Publication number: 20210377220
    Abstract: Disclosed in some examples are methods, systems, machine-readable mediums, and computing devices for improved network security for network-based services. A firewall service protecting one or more provider computing devices that providing the network-based service may block all traffic by default. This prevents any network intrusions. A client computing device wishing to access a network-based service contacts an authority computing device of the network-based service. If the client computing device is authenticated by the authority computing device, the authority device provides a network address of a provider computing device which provides the network-based service for the account that was authenticated. The authority computing device also sends a message to a firewall service providing the firewall for the provider computing device to open a temporary hole in the firewall for the client computing device.

  • Patent number: 11074228
    Abstract: Systems and techniques for three-dimensional file event representation are described herein. File event data may be obtained for a file for a time segment. The file event data may include a file system hierarchy for the file. A spatial file operation map may be generated for the file system hierarchy including a file operation map for the file for the time segment. The file operation map for the file may include a plurality of layers with each layer of the plurality of layers representing a file operation class available for the file. It may be determined that a file operation was performed on the file during the time segment based on the file event data. An indication may be generated on a layer of the plurality layers of the file operation map that the file operation was performed. The layer corresponds to a file operation class of the file operation.

  • Patent number: 10496610
    Abstract: Disclosed in some examples are methods, systems, and machine readable mediums which provide for encrypted file system element containers which secure sensitive file system elements. The encrypted file system element containers are sent from a network based file storage system upon selection of file system elements for a network based file download and stored in a user's computing device in an encrypted state while the data is at rest. An application on the user's computing device may provide access to the file system elements (e.g., files, directories, and the like) inside the encrypted file system element containers according to a set of one or more access rules. Example access rules include a time-to-live (TTL) rule that deletes or causes the encrypted file system element containers to be inaccessible after a predetermined amount of time.
