Publication number: 20250225323Abstract: Techniques for summarizing a set of alert logs associated with a computer system using a generative machine learning model are described herein. In some cases, an example system receives a set of alert logs, such as logs associated with a detected security incident. The system generates a summarization prompt that includes the set of alert logs, instructions to summarize the logs, and one or more output constraints. The system then provides the summarization prompt to a generative machine learning model M times to determine M summarization outputs. The system determines N of the M summarization prompts that satisfy the output constraint(s) and are thus determined to be valid. The system then determines N scores for the N validated summarization outputs and determines an aggregated summarization output based on a subset of the N summarization outputs as determined based on the corresponding N output scores.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 14, 2024Publication date: July 10, 2025Applicant: Cisco Technology, Inc.Inventors: Tian Bu, YI HONG, Robert Wylie Gresham, JR., Connor Alan Hollenbeck, Jesse Stewart Craig-Goodell, Carlos E.

Publication number: 20240333747Abstract: In one aspect, a method includes creating a polymorphic variant of a sample of malware, analyzing the polymorphic variant of the sample of malware by a security management service to determine if the polymorphic variant of the sample of malware evades detection by the security management service, when the security management service fails to detect the polymorphic variant during the analysis of the polymorphic variant, detonating the polymorphic variant in a virtualized environment to identify characterizations of the polymorphic variant, and training the security management service to detect the polymorphic variant based on the characterizations.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 27, 2023Publication date: October 3, 2024Inventors: Vincent Parla, Andrew Zawadowskiy, Blake Anderson, Hugo Mike Latapie, Oleg Bessonov, David Arthur McGrew, Michael Roytman, Tian Bu, William Michael Hudson, JR., Nancy Cam-Winget

Patent number: 9258218Abstract: A software-defined network overlay capability is configured to control one or more overlay networks using software-defined networking (SDN) in which control functions and forwarding functions are separated. The software-defined network overlay capability may be configured to vertically move packets across network layers, e.g., into an overlay network (e.g., into a tunnel via encapsulation), out of an overlay network (e.g., out of a tunnel via decapsulation), or the like. The software-defined network overlay capability may be configured to move packets from native forwarding infrastructure into an overlay network, between overlay networks (e.g., into a first overlay network from a second overlay network without leaving the second overlay network, out of a first overlay network and into a second overlay network, out of a first overlay network while remaining within a second overlay network, or the like), from an overlay network onto native forwarding infrastructure, or the like.Type: GrantFiled: November 30, 2012Date of Patent: February 9, 2016Assignee: Alcatel LucentInventors: Georg Hampel, Moritz Steiner, Tian Bu

Patent number: 9069962Abstract: A method and computer product are presented for identifying Internet worm propagation based upon changes in packet arrival rates at a network connection. First, unsolicited (i.e., packets that were not requested by the receiver) traffic is separated from solicited traffic at the network connection. The unsolicited traffic arrival patterns are monitored and analyzed for any changes. Once changes in the unsolicited traffic arrival patterns are detected, the changes are mathematically analyzed to detect growth trends. The presence of growth trends that follow certain key characteristics indicate whether the changes are due to worm propagation.Type: GrantFiled: December 4, 2013Date of Patent: June 30, 2015Assignee: Alcatel LucentInventors: Tian Bu, Aiyou Chen, Scott Alan Vander Wiel, Thomas Woo
