  • Patent number: 11899818
    Abstract: A system and method for monitoring and protecting sensitive data that includes identifying sensitive data and statically tracking sensitive data using data flow analysis across a code base, monitoring flow of the data during application runtime, and responding to vulnerabilities according to a sensitive data characterization of the data. Identifying sensitive data includes processing a semantic description of the data in the application code and characterizing the sensitive data. Monitoring flow of the data includes: identifying and characterizing sensitive data through data usage, updating the characterization for the sensitive data through data usage, and enforcing security measures on the data according to the sensitive data characterization of the data.

  • Publication number: 20230385414
    Abstract: A system and method for securing an application through an application-aware runtime agent can include: acquiring a code profile, instrumenting the application with a runtime agent according to the code profile, enforcing the runtime agent on the execution of the application, and responding to the runtime agent. Enforcing the runtime agent on the execution of the application can include monitoring the execution flow, which comprises of monitoring the utilization of the controls through the execution of the application; detecting a threat, which comprises identifying a section of the execution flow as a potential security threat; and regulating the execution flow to prevent or ameliorate the security threat. Responding to the runtime agent can include responding to the security threat and providing a user interface that may output runtime agent diagnostics and trigger alerts.

  • Publication number: 20220091830
    Abstract: A system and method for a hybrid development platform for project development that integrates local and continuous integration (CI)-based building and testing. The system and method can make use of a build cluster, that executes individual commands within build targets; a build cache that stores partial results of previous executions; an artifact and image storage system, that stores and updates artifacts and container images; and a secrets repository that manages local and global project secrets. The system and method function as an automated build platform that enables an execution environment agnostic build platform for development over local development and extended network computing environments.

  • Patent number: 8276580
    Abstract: A solar air heating module provides heated air to a ventilation system. The solar air heating module includes a collector for heating and drawing in outside air and a housing. The collector includes an absorber plate for absorbing incident sunlight and includes a plurality of perforations therethrough. The perforations are distributed across the absorber plate for allowing passage of air into the collector. The collector also includes a collector tray mounted behind the absorber plate. The collector tray includes an output for allowing the passage of air out of the collector. The collector tray is spaced from the absorber plate to define a cavity therebetween in which air can to flow towards the output. The housing is mounted to the collector tray and forms a plenum therewith for receiving air from the output. The plenum is at a lower pressure than that of the outside air. The plenum is connected to the ventilation system. A plurality of modules may be combined to form a system.
