  • Detecting rogue wireless access points in geospatial locations
    Patent number: 11917411
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are methods, systems, and processes to detect rogue wireless access points and determine their approximate location in a geospatial location. Wireless access point data collected from wireless access points by fixed sensor nodes and agent-based sensor nodes in a geospatial location is received. A wireless site survey is performed at the geospatial location based on the wireless access point data. Based on the wireless site survey, an approximate location of a rogue wireless access point at the geospatial location is determined.

  • Dynamically upgrading java runtime environments with running applications
    Patent number: 11586431
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are methods, systems, and processes to perform self-dependent upgrades of Java Runtime Environments (JREs). A request to update a plugin to a new version with a new configuration that includes a location to download a new upgrader-executable is received from a platform computing device at an endpoint computing device. The plugin is uploaded to the new version. The new upgrader-executable that includes an executable with an executable table executed by the plugin is downloaded from the location. The executable is used to halt execution of a JRE application (e.g., a Collector) and download JRE files required for the upgrade. The JRE application (e.g., the Collector) is then re-started with the new configuration, which can be rolled back if the upgrade is unsuccessful.
