  • Patent number: 11782912
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for asset discovery, user discovery, data classification, risk evaluation, and data/device security are described. The method includes retrieving data stored at one or more remote locations, summarizing the retrieved data at the one or more remote locations, transferring the summarized data from the one or more remote locations to the at least one computing device, processing the transferred data by the at least one computing device, discovering assets in technology environments, classifying data that resides on each asset of the discovered assets into a respective confidentiality group of multiple confidentiality groups, calculating one or more risk scores for the discovered assets or users of the discovered assets, or both, and performing a security action to protect data that resides on an asset of the discovered assets.

  • Patent number: 11775767
    Abstract: A computerized method is disclosed including operations of receiving a plurality of request texts, and for each request text of the plurality of request texts: performing a pre-processing operation, performing a first text similarity procedure or a second text similarity procedure that each result in a determination of a most similar request text in a knowledge base, wherein the second text similarity procedure includes performance of word embedding operations, determining a degree of similarity between the current request text and the most similar request text, when the degree of similarity satisfies a similarity threshold comparison, associating an answer associated with the most request text with the current text request, and when the degree of similar does not satisfy the similarity threshold comparison, flagging the current request text or associating a placeholder answer with the current request text. Performing pre-processing may include removing stop words and punctuation and creating tokenized text.

  • Patent number: 11379670
    Abstract: A computerized method is disclosed including operations of receiving one or more request texts, including at least a first request text, automatically performing processing on the first request text to determine a most similar request text in a knowledge base, determining a degree of similarity between the first request text and the most similar request text, and in response to a comparison between the degree of similarity and a similarity threshold, retrieving, from the knowledge base, an answer corresponding to the most similar request text. Performing processing may include (i) removing stop words and punctuation and creating tokenized text, (ii) converting the tokenized text into a vector using a trained neural network, and (iii) performing an analysis of the vector with the entries of the knowledge base using one or more of a Word Mover's Distance (WMD) algorithm, or a Soft Cosine Measure (SCM) algorithm.

  • Patent number: 10607005
    Abstract: The disclosed computer-implemented method for labeling automatically generated reports may include (i) identifying incident reports that describe incidents that each involve at least one computing system and that comprise automatically collected information about the incidents and a manually analyzed subset of incident reports that comprise manually generated information, (ii) assigning at least one label to at least one incident report in the manually analyzed subset based on applying a machine learning model to the manually generated information, (iii) deriving, from the automatically collected information, a set of features that describe incident reports, (iv) propagating at least one label from a labeled incident report to an incident report that is not in the manually analyzed subset and that comprises similar features with the labeled incident report, and (v) performing an action related to the label on the incident report. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.

  • Patent number: 10063582
    Abstract: Securing compromised network devices in a network. In one embodiment, a method may include (a) identifying a Positive Unlabeled (PU) machine learning classifier, (b) selecting labeled positive samples and unlabeled positive and negative samples as a bootstrap subset of training data from a set of training data, (c) training the PU machine learning classifier, (d) repeating (a)-(c) one or more times to create a set of trained PU machine learning classifiers, (e) predicting probabilities that a network device in a network has been compromised using each of the trained PU machine learning classifiers, (f) combining the probabilities predicted at (e) to generate a combined risk score for the network device, (g) repeating (e)-(f) one or more times to create a ranked list of combined risk scores, and (h) performing a security action on one or more of the network devices in the ranked list.
