Vaishali Palkar has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 11706239
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable storage media are disclosed for detecting vulnerabilities in real-time during execution of a process or an application. In one example, a device may have one or more memories storing computer-readable instructions and one or more processors configured to execute the computer-readable instructions to obtain real-time process information associated with a process executing in an endpoint. The device can then determine package information for a package associated with the process based on the process information. The device can then identify at least one vulnerability associated with the package information using a database of vulnerabilities stored on a backend component of the network. The backend component may have a database of vulnerabilities for packages.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 9985988
    Abstract: Provided are systems, methods, and computer-program products for using deceptions to detect network scans. In various implementations, a network device, configured as a decoy network device can be configured to determine a particular network address. The network device can determine that the particular network address is unassigned. The network device can configure itself with the particular network address, wherein the network device uses the particular network address to monitor network activity for a network scan. The network device can receive a packet addressed to the particular network address. The network device can determine that received packet is associated with a scan of the network, including associating the received packet with other packets in the monitored network activity. The network device can configure one or more security settings for the network when the received packet is determined to be associated with a scan of the network.
