Abstract: A system and method for monitoring operations and detecting failures of a plurality of connected devices installed on a premises determines the correct vendor for failure resolution and provides the vendor with a secure and limited mechanism to access assigned devices remotely for servicing. The system limits vendor access to only devices configured on a respective virtual network provisioned in a container provided on a network monitoring device.

Abstract: The presently disclosed subject matter includes a system for monitoring a set of command lines or calls to executable scripts configured to be executed by an operating system. Each command line from the set of command lines is associated with an executable script configured to be executed by an operating system. The apparatus classifies, via a machine learning model, a command line from the set of command lines into an obfuscation category and prevents the operating system from executing the command line and generates a notification signal when the obfuscation category indicates that the command line is part of a cybersecurity attack. The apparatus allows the operating system to execute the command line or call to the executable script when the obfuscation category indicates that the command line is not part of a cybersecurity attack.

Abstract: One embodiment of the present invention provides a system that uses a file system operation to drive the process of configuring a computer system to operate with a device. During operation, the system receives an access request for the device. If a driver for the device has not been previously loaded, the system loads the driver for the device. Next, the system creates an instance of the driver for the device and attaches the instance so that the computer system is able to access the device. Finally, the system accesses the device to satisfy the request. In a variation of this embodiment, the access request specifies a path for the device, wherein the path includes one or more path components. Before loading the driver, the system first parses the path to identify the driver for the device as well as an address for the device from a path component. The system uses this address to identify the device prior to creating the instance of the driver for the device.
