  • Patent number: 12694146
    Abstract: Multi-modal query processing greatly improves computer functioning. A single cybersecurity sensory nodal server concurrently processes standing queries, agent point queries, and agent fleet queries. The single cybersecurity sensory nodal server is dedicated to locally storing electronic data associated with a cybersecurity sensory agent installed at a client device. Because the single cybersecurity sensory nodal server locally stores the single source of the electronic data, the single cybersecurity sensory nodal server answers the standing queries, agent point queries, and agent fleet queries using less hardware resources, less network resources, less electrical energy, and less time.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: October 9, 2024
    Date of Patent: July 28, 2026
    Assignee: CrowdStrike, Inc.

  • Publication number: 20240330299
    Abstract: An interwoven approximate membership query (AMQ) data structure interweaves multiple AMQ data sets. The interwoven AMQ data structure collapses the AMQ data sets into a composite membership representation. The interwoven AMQ data structure still represents a computer database, but the interwoven AMQ data structure yields far faster membership results. The interwoven AMQ data structure requires orders of magnitude less data reads. Memory allocation is reduced, processor cycles are reduced, input/output operations are reduced, and translations from kernel space to user space are reduced. The interwoven AMQ data structure greatly improves computer functioning.
