Patent number: 11960470Abstract: A digital security system can store data associated with entities in resolver trees. If the digital security system determines that two resolver trees are likely representing the same entity, the digital security system can use a merge operation to merge the resolver trees into a single resolver tree that represents the entity. The single resolver tree can include a merge node indicating a merge identifier of the merge operation. Nodes containing information merged into the resolver tree from another resolver tree during the merge operation can be tagged with the corresponding merge identifier. Accordingly, if the merge operation is to be undone, for instance if subsequent information indicates that the entries are likely separate entities, the resolver tree can be unmerged and the nodes tagged with the merge identifier can be restored to a separate resolver tree.Type: GrantFiled: January 14, 2022Date of Patent: April 16, 2024Assignee: CROWDSTRIKE, INC.Inventors: James Robert Plush, Timothy Jason Berger, Ramnath Venugopalan

Publication number: 20240061844Abstract: An event query host can include an event processor configured to process an event stream indicating events that occurred on a computing device. The event processor can add representations of events to an event graph. If an event added to the event graph is a trigger event associated with a query, the event processor can also add an instance of the query to a query queue. The query queue can be sorted based on scheduled execution times of query instances. At a scheduled execution time of a query instance in the query queue, a query manager of the event query host can execute the query instance and attempt to find a corresponding pattern of one or more events in the event graph.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 27, 2023Publication date: February 22, 2024Inventors: Brent Ryan Nash, Timothy Jason Berger, Hyacinth D. Diehl, James Robert Plush

Publication number: 20230297690Abstract: A distributed security system can include instances of a compute engine that can execute either locally in security agents on client devices or as cloud instances in a security network. Event data can be processed by elements of the distributed security system according to centrally-defined ontological definitions and/or configurations. Bounding managers of local security agents can control how much event data is sent to the security network. A storage engine in the security network can store event data received from client devices, can route event data to other elements of the security network, including cloud instances of the compute engine. An experimentation engine of the security network can also at least temporarily adjust other elements of the distributed security system during experiments or tests.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 12, 2023Publication date: September 21, 2023Inventors: David F. Diehl, James Robert Plush, Timothy Jason Berger

Patent number: 10434417Abstract: Functionality is disclosed herein for changing a user experience using application events. Events that occur while an application is executing are provided to an application service. The events may be stored on the computing device executing the application before the events are provided to the application service. The application service uses the events to generate a plan that includes data identifying one or more actions for the application to perform. The events used to generate the plan may include events received from other users who also interact with the application. The plan is used by an application to select one or more actions to perform to move the user interacting with the application closer to a goal state. The plan may be periodically updated.Type: GrantFiled: November 13, 2017Date of Patent: October 8, 2019Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Ryan Newcomb Durkin, Timothy Jason Berger, Jean-Yves Pip Courbois, Ian Christopher Suttle
