  • Publication number: 20240378291
    Abstract: Under one aspect, a method is provided for protecting a device from a malicious file. The method can be implemented by one or more data processors forming part of at least one computing device and can include extracting from the file, by at least one data processor, sequential data comprising discrete tokens. The method also can include generating, by at least one data processor, n-grams of the discrete tokens. The method also can include generating, by at least one data processor, a vector of weights based on respective frequencies of the n-grams. The method also can include determining, by at least one data processor and based on a statistical analysis of the vector of weights, that the file is likely to be malicious. The method also can include initiating, by at least one data processor and responsive to determining that the file is likely to be malicious, a corrective action.

  • Publication number: 20220405572
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and software can be used for securing in-tunnel messages. One example of a method includes obtaining a parsed file that comprises two or more sub-feature trees, and each of the two or more sub-feature trees comprise at least one feature layer that comprises features. The method further includes generating a feature vector that identifies the features in the at least one feature layer for each of the two or more sub-feature trees. The method yet further includes mapping the features in the at least one feature layer for each of the one or more sub-feature trees to a corresponding position in the feature vector. By converting features in the parsed file into a feature vector, the method provides an applicable format of the feature vector in wide applications for the parsed file.

  • Patent number: 11436520
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided herein for redaction of artificial intelligence (AI) training documents. Data comprising an unredacted document is received. The unredacted document comprises a plurality of objects arranged according to a first topology. The unredacted document is parsed to identify objects either directly or relationally containing user sensitive information using a predetermined rule set based on the first topology. The user sensitive information within the unredacted document is substituted with placeholder information to generate a redacted document having a second topology. The second topology is substantially identical to the first topology. In some variations, the redacted document is provided to an AI model for training.

  • Patent number: 11430244
    Abstract: A method and computing device for statistical data fingerprinting and tracing data similarity of documents. The method comprises applying a statistical function to a subset of text in a first document thereby generating a first fingerprint; applying the statistical function to a subset of text in a second document thereby generating a second fingerprint; comparing the first fingerprint to the second fingerprint; and determining that the subset of text in the first document matches the subset of text in the second document based on the first fingerprint threshold matching the second fingerprint, wherein the statistical function is a measure of randomness of a count of each character in a subset of text against an expected distribution of said characters.

  • Patent number: 11386308
    Abstract: An artefact is received and parsed into a plurality of observations. A first subset of the observations are inputted into a machine learning model trained using historical data to classify the artefact. In addition, a second subset of the observations are inputted into a xenospace centroid configured to classify the artefact. Thereafter, the artefact is classified based on a combination of an output of the machine learning model and an output of xenospace centroid. Related apparatus, systems, techniques and articles are also described.

  • Patent number: 11283818
    Abstract: A system is provided for training a machine learning model to detect malicious container files. The system may include at least one processor and at least one memory. The memory may include program code which when executed by the at least one processor provides operations including: processing a container file with a trained machine learning model, wherein the trained machine learning is trained to determine a classification for the container file indicative of whether the container file includes at least one file rendering the container file malicious; and providing, as an output by the trained machine learning model, an indication of whether the container file includes the at least one file rendering the container file malicious. Related methods and articles of manufacture, including computer program products, are also disclosed.
