Patent number: 11816501Abstract: Systems and methods are described for managing high volumes of alerts to increase security, reduce noise, reduce duplication of work, and increase productivity of analysts dealing with and triaging alerts. A work unit queue may be configured to buffer or smooth workflows and decouple heavy processing which may improve performance and scalability to prevent duplicate assignments. Queueing services provide lag times to prevent over-assignment or double assignment of alerts to work units. System security may be improved by creating an authentication or verification step before allowing users to update alert statuses such that only users with work unit tokens that match alert tokens may update alert statuses.Type: GrantFiled: November 8, 2019Date of Patent: November 14, 2023Assignee: ZeroFOX, Inc.Inventors: Samuel Kevin Small, Steven Craig Hanna, Jr., Zachary Michael Allen

Publication number: 20230186570Abstract: A method includes generating a local map of a real environment, the local map being defined by first spatial relationships between first feature descriptors corresponding to a visible feature in the real environment captured by a device. The device receives a downloaded map defined by second spatial relationships between an anchor point and second feature descriptors corresponding to visible features captured by another device, wherein the anchor point corresponds to a location of a virtual object. The local map is updated by merging the downloaded map with the local map based on a comparison between the first feature descriptors and the second feature descriptors and a pose of the device is determined relative to a particular feature descriptor in the updated local map. Virtual content is rendered based on the pose and one or more spatial relationships linking the particular feature descriptor and the anchor in the updated local map.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 10, 2021Publication date: June 15, 2023Inventors: Zachary Michael Moratto, Kevin Joseph Sheridan, Cheyne Mathey-Owens, Adam Ritenauer
