A current software tool is identified. The current software tool is used to manage and/or create a current corresponding software. For example, the current software tool may be a compiler and the current corresponding software may be a binary executable. A current mapping is generated between code provided to the current software tool and the current corresponding software using a first Artificial Intelligence (AI) algorithm. A comparison between the current mapping and a learned mapping is made to determine if the current software tool is manipulating the current corresponding software in an abnormal way. The learned mapping is based on historical code input into historical software tools and corresponding historical code output from the historical software tools. In response to determining that the current software tool is manipulating the current corresponding software in an abnormal way, the current software tool is identified as being compromised or likely compromised.

SECURITY ORCHESTRATION, AUTOMATION, AND RESPONSE (SOAR) PLAYBOOK GENERATION
A security orchestration, automation, and response (SOAR) playbook is often selected to address an incident, such as a fault or attack (e.g., malware, a phishing attack, etc.) on a computer system or component. However, when the incident is new, manual resolution is often utilized to address the incident. By utilizing a neural network trained to identify similarities in a new incident, the neural network can select a SOAR playbook and optionally automatically deploy the playbook to address the incident.

SENSITIVE INFORMATION DISCOVERY AND TEST COMPONENT CONFIGURATION
Testing software applications often requires a balancing of thoroughness versus the time and computing resources available to perform such tests. Certain data handling operations may potentially expose data to unauthorized parties. However, not all data is equal; some data requires a greater degree of protection than other data, which may be based on a security context (e.g., rule, law, policy, etc.). By generating rules determined by a particular context, extraneous tests on data outside of the context, may be omitted. Unnecessary tests may be omitted and the results of each analysis process correlated to identify actual vulnerabilities and omit false positives, such as vulnerabilities to data that does not require the same degree of care to avoid unauthorized exposure.
Containerized platforms like Kubernetes, OpenShift, EKS (Elastic Kubernetes Service), etc., containerize and orchestrate applications. There are mature solutions for discovering and modeling applications running in physical and virtualized machines, and for containerized platforms, there are solutions for discovering and modeling infrastructure like namespaces, controllers, and pods. While beneficial, such models are incomplete. Accordingly, systems and methods are provided herein for discovering applications and modeling resources utilized for the applications or product suites. As a result, version mismatches or unplanned changes may be detected and corrected.

USING CROSS-CHANNEL ANALYSIS TO DETECT ATTACKS ON SPREAD-SPECTRUM NETWORKS
Data of a plurality of channels of a spread-spectrum network are received. For example, the data of the plurality of channels of the spread-spectrum network may be captured by a spread-spectrum router (e.g., a WiFi router). The data of the plurality of channels of the spread-spectrum network is analyzed to identify an anomalous cross-channel pattern across the plurality of channels of the spread-spectrum network. For example, the attack may be a sequential attack across each of the channels of the spread-spectrum network. In response to identifying the anomalous cross-channel pattern across the plurality of channels of the spread-spectrum network, an action is taken to protect the spread-spectrum network. For example, the action may be to notify an administrator of the spread-spectrum network that a potential attack is occurring on the spread-spectrum network or to block access to the spread-spectrum router.
A first device transmits a request message to a proxy device to forward to a second device. The request message includes a public key. The second device transmits a response message to the proxy device to forward to the first device. The response message includes a cryptographic nonce and is encrypted with the public key. The first device decrypts the response message, and generates a session key based on the nonce and a pre-shared password. The first device generates a session key and transmits a challenge response encrypted with the session key to the proxy device to forward to the second device. The second device generates the session key and decrypts the challenge response with the session key. Upon the second device confirming the challenge response such that a secure session is established, the first and second devices communicate with one another over the secure session.

Anomaly Detection Based on Multi-Level Authentication
A determination is made to see if a user has authenticated to a computer system using a plurality of authentication levels. For example, the user may have had a first session where the user is authenticated at authentication level one and a second session where the user is authenticated at authentication level two. Behavior of the user is separately tracked at each of the plurality of authentication levels to identify separate usage patterns of the user at each of the plurality of authentication levels. Anomalous behavior of the user is identified based on one or more variations from the separate usage patterns of the user at, at least one of the plurality of authentication levels. An action is taken based on identifying the anomalous behavior of the user. For example, the user's account may be locked, or an administrator may be notified.
One or more characters are input into an auto-complete field. Text of a displayed list of one or more candidate items is retrieved. The text of the displayed list of the one or more candidate items is compared to a predefined candidate item. In response to the text of the displayed list of one or more candidate items not having the predefined candidate item or not being withing a defined ranking, test results are flagged where the predefined candidate item is missing from displayed list of the one or more candidate items or is not withing the defined ranking. This allows the for automated testing of the auto-complete fields.
A watermark is generated. The generated watermark is specific to an individual owner of a media. The media may be any type of electronic media, such as, an image, a document, a movie, an audio file, a software application, and/or the like. The watermark is inserted into the media. The watermark in the media is changed when ownership of the media is changed. For example, as the media is sold to a new owner, the new owner's watermark is added to the media so that a chain of title can be verified directly from the media. In addition, the chain of title may also be verified via a blockchain.

AUGMENTED QUESTION AND ANSWER (Q&A) WITH LARGE LANGUAGE MODELS
Large language models (LLMs) are versatile in responding to user questions on a wide variety of topics. However, LLMs suffer from several drawbacks, such as hallucinations, incomplete information, and inability to cite original sources of information. Disclosed herein are systems and methods for using an LLM in a restricted manner to respond to queries regarding document corpora, e.g., documents related to a set of products, such that the impact of these drawbacks is minimized. Information retrieval is coupled with LLMs to build a question and answer (Q&A) system on the text corpora. Complex retrieved information, incorporating human feedback, and recommendations in the Q&A system are provided.
An input regarding security characteristics of a project is received. For example, a security characteristic of a project may be insecure storage of data related to confidentiality. The project is scanned for one or more security requirements based on the received security characteristics. A list of security requirements is built for the project based on the received first input. A machine learning process is used to identify addition of one or more security requirements and/or removal of one or more security requirements from the list of security requirements. A first security vulnerability scan is run using the list of security requirements with the one or more additional security requirements and/or the removed one or more security requirements. Results for the first security vulnerability scan are generated and displayed to a user.

The method also includes identifying one or more software components of the software package as malicious based on a comparison between the software components of the software package and each of the collected one or more known malicious software component classifiers and the collected one or more known suspicious community behavior classifiers, generating a malicious probability for each of the identified one or more software components and evaluating whether the software package is malicious based on the generated malicious probability for each of the identified one or more software components.
Language used by a specific user in a specific context is gathered. The language used by the specific user in the specific context is language gathered from a plurality of previously captured electronic communication sessions. For example, the language of the specific user is captured from previous voice, video, and/or text communication sessions. A machine learning process based on the language gathered from the plurality of previously captured electronic communication sessions is trained. The trained machine learning process is used to determine if the specific user is actually participating in an electronic communication session or if a potential imposter is likely posing as the specific user in the electronic communication session. In response to determining that the potential imposter is likely posing as the specific user in the electronic communication session, an action is taken to secure the electronic communication session.
A visual media is received. For example, the received visual media may be a digital image, a video file, or a video stream. A plurality of colors in the visual media are identified. In response to identifying the plurality of colors in the visual media, one or more colors not in the visual media are identified. A watermark is placed in the visual media to produce a watermarked visual media. The watermark comprises at least one of the identified colors not in the visual media. The watermarked visual media is verified using image processing.
A current thread pattern is identified. For example, a thread pattern of a running software application is identified. Current resource information associated with the current thread pattern is identified. For example, the current resource information may include disk usage, packets sent, ports used, accounts created, etc. The current thread pattern and the current resource information associated with the current thread pattern are compared to an existing malicious thread pattern associated with a type of malware and existing malicious resource information associated with the existing thread pattern. A determination is made if the comparison meets a threshold. For example, if the current thread pattern is 90% similar to the existing malicious thread pattern and the current resource information is within 75% of the existing malicious resource information, the threshold is met. In response to the comparison meeting the threshold, an action is taken to mitigate the type of malware.
Source code for a type of malware is received. For example, the source code may be source code from a type of computer virus. An Artificial Intelligence (AI) algorithm is identified. For example, the AI algorithm may be ChatGPT. The source code of the type of malware is run through the AI algorithm to produce mutated source code for the type of malware. A prediction algorithm is used to predict a signature of the mutated source code for the type of malware. For example, the prediction algorithm is trained using existing source code of different types of malware to generate a prediction model. The signature of the mutated source code for the type of malware is then compared to a signature of a potentially new type of malware to determine if the signatures are similar.

Documents are often generated using a customer communication management (CCM) application that utilizes rules to select and/or modify certain fragments of a document. By analyzing the rules and content that produced a certain fragment, a second CCM application may be automatically provided with the rules, such as when the first set of rules are not available for porting to a second system. Accordingly, a server may access a rule comprising a condition, a document fragment, and a rule identifier. A server may generate a first document to comprise visible content and hidden content. Generating the first document may comprise evaluating the rule and, when the rule is true, including the document fragment as a portion of the visible content and including the rule identifier as a portion of hidden content. A server may provide the first document to a destination.
Identifying and resolving weaknesses in software are common, resource-intensive tasks for many organizations. Machine-learning models are provided to automatically identify software vulnerabilities or other flaws, such as via entries in a weakness or vulnerability database, identify affected software, generate patches to resolve the vulnerabilities, and apply the patch to affected software. The patch is automatically extracted from code deltas between a software version having the weakness and a subsequent version wherein the weakness has been resolved. Other differences between the versions, not affecting the weakness, are excluded from the code deltas.
A request is received from a tenant. For example, the tenant may be a tenant of a multi-tenant cloud service. The request comprises a one or more Configuration Items (CIs). A CI is used to change data on a computer system or network. A computer resource license associated with the tenant is identified. A determination is made to identify if the request meets the computer resource license. In response to the request meeting the computer resource license, the one or more configuration items are implemented according to the computer resource license. In response to the request not meeting the computer resource license, the request is modified. For example, the request may be split into a plurality of requests.
Devices with low or no security are often added to networks. These devices have the ability to utilize the network and, accordingly, may pose a security risk. Systems and methods herein enable a device to be added to a network and, if the resulting new traffic matches a template, the device is established on an automatically created virtual local area network (VLAN) used solely for the new device. A router is automatically configured to allow traffic that matches the type of device that was newly added, but if other traffic is detected, the device may be treated as a threat and managed accordingly.
Strings of a text file representing a configuration of a target device are respectively tokenized into tokens for the configuration. The tokens for the configuration are shingled. A target device signature representing the configuration of the target device is generated by applying a min-wise independent permutations locality sensitive hashing (MinHash) technique to the tokens as have been shingled. Whether the configuration of the target device is anomalous is identified based on the target device signature.
Embodiments provide for detecting viruses and other malware in executing process threads based on thread patterns. According to one embodiment, detecting previously unknown malware associated with process threads can comprise capturing context information for each thread of a plurality of threads executing on a processor. The context information can define a thread pattern for the thread. The thread pattern for each thread can be compared to stored information defining one or more known patterns for thread execution based on previous execution of one or more threads. A thread pattern variation can be detected when the thread pattern for one or more threads does not match the stored information defining the known thread patterns. A determination can be made as to whether the detected thread pattern variation indicates presence of malware and actions can be performed based on determining the detected thread pattern variation indicates the presence of malware.

AUTOMATED TESTING OF USER INTERFACES REQUIRING A TIME-BASED ONE-TIME PASSWORD (TOTP)
Automated testing of an application under test (AUT) often requires providing valid responses to an authentication challenge. Many AUTs require a username and password and, increasingly, a time-based one-time password (TOTP) that complicate automated testing. By storing a shared secret on a client device, a human can train an automated testing application to select the shared secret and provide the shared secret to a shared secret provider. The shared secret provider then provides a token code as the TOTP. The shared secret may be stored as a graphical element, such as a quick response (QR) code, and may further correspond to a particular username used to test the AUT.
Software developers and security personnel routinely scan code to look for threats, such as security vulnerabilities. While such scans are useful, they are unable to determine the actual data provided to a client device executing a web application. By monitoring the web traffic to a client, the libraries utilized by the web application may be determined by name, version, and vendor. With the library identified, the libraries may be provided to one or more repositories of vulnerabilities to identify the particular vulnerabilities of the library. With the vulnerability identified, a resolution (e.g., version wherein the vulnerability was fixed) may be identified and/or other action to mitigate the vulnerability.

Efficient Length Preserving Encryption of Large Plaintexts
A plaintext is received. For example, a plaintext may be a text record that is to be encrypted and then stored in a database. A determination is made to see if a size of the plaintext is above a threshold. The threshold is based on an efficiency of a Format Preserving Encryption (FPE) algorithm. In response to the size of the plaintext being above the threshold: the plaintext is divided into a plurality of blocks based on a block size; each of the blocks are individually encrypted using the FPE algorithm; and each of the blocks are stored as a single FPE cyphertext. This makes the FPE encryption process much more effacement than has previously been achieved. For example, the FPE process may be 30% more efficient depending on the size of the plain text.

THROTTLING TEST MODE FOR BROWSER-BASED WEB APPLICATION LOAD TESTING
For each of a number of test commands of a test script for browser-based load testing of a web application hosted by a server device communicatively connected to the test device over a network, the test command is executed within a browser instance running on the test device and simulating usage of the web application by a user. In response to determining that the test command that has been executed is a browser operation command, that the test command executes for a minimum length of time is ensured in a throttling test mode in which the web application is tested via the browser instance.
One or more unused locations in a software image are identified. An example of a software image may be a container image or virtual machine image. An unused location may be a location where padding is used in the software image. A first watermark is placed in the one or more unused locations to produce a watermarked software image. A request is received to load the watermarked software image. In response to receiving the request to load the watermarked software image, a second watermark is generated using the one or more unused locations in the watermarked software image and the second watermark is then compared to the first watermark. In response to the first watermark matching the second watermark, the software image is loaded. In response to the first watermark not matching the second watermark, the software image is not loaded.
A first execution of a test script is recorded. The recording of the first execution of the test script is of a first interaction between a communication device and an Application Under Test (AUT). First request and response data for the first execution of the test script is captured. A second execution of the test script is recorded. Second request and response data for the second execution of the test script is captured. The first execution of the test script and the second execution of the test script are isolated sessions. The first request and response data is compared to the second request and response data to find one or more varying response values. The one or more varying response values are searched to identify correlations. A second test script is automatically created based on the identified correlations.
An anomaly on a computer network is identified by processing data generated by the computer network. The anomaly is identified based on a first anomaly threshold of a plurality of anomaly thresholds associated with the anomaly. In response to determining that the anomaly has met the first anomaly threshold of the plurality of anomaly thresholds associated with the anomaly, a first authentication level associated with the first anomaly threshold is identified. The plurality of anomaly thresholds associated with the anomaly have a plurality of associated authentication levels. A user interface is displayed to an administrator that includes a prompt to authenticate the administrator at the first authentication level. Authenticating the administrator at the first authentication level allows the administrator to take an action associated with the anomaly. For example, the administrator may unload an application that may likely have been compromised.
An event profile corresponding to a data source at a target system is determined. The event profile includes, for each of a number of fields, a percentage of events that after processing by the data source include data in that event field. A reference event profile is determined that includes, for each of the event fields, a reference percentage. The event profile is compared to the reference event profile. Whether the data source properly processed the events is determined based on comparison of the event profile to the reference event profile.
Software applications often incorporate an embedded browser to perform web-based operations. Not all browsers operate the same way, for example, elements within tabs in Microsoft Edge browsers use messages to communicate through web extensions, while Microsoft Internet Explorer (IE) browsers use the original browsers helper object (BHO). A consequence of the different paradigms is that certain graphical elements may be duplicated in a resource table. A test development may fail to identify the duplication and may produce extraneous or erroneous tests. By launching on a system and monitoring the system's executing processes, a browser application may be determined to be running and, if so, a refresh operation is performed on an application under test (AUT). If the AUT refresh operation results in a browser also performing a refresh, the type of embedded browser may be identified and any duplicates of the same graphical elements identified and merged for subsequent testing.
A first load cycle of an application is determined to have been completed. A load cycle is where the application has been loaded, executed, and then unloaded. One or more of first load parameter associated with the first load cycle of the application, a first execution parameter associated with the first load cycle of the application, and a first unload parameter associated with the first load cycle of the application are retrieved and compared to one or more of a second load parameter associated with a second load cycle of the application, a second execution parameter associated with the second load cycle of the application, and a second unload parameter associated with the second load cycle of the application.

A first authentication factor of the multi-factor authentication request is an access authentication factor (e.g., the valid username/password) and a second authentication factor (e.g., the valid fingerprint scan) of the multi-factor authentication request is one of: a time-only authentication factor; a multi-session authentication factor; and a location-only authentication factor. The user is authenticated based on the first authentication factor and the second authentication factor. Access is granted to one or more resources according to one or more rules associated with the first authentication factor and second authentication factor.
Software is commonly built from a package of software packages, such as open-source packages. A package may require a number of interdependent packages, any one of which may have a security vulnerability. However, the dependencies between packages are often version specific and merely upgrading a package to the newest, or newest non-vulnerable, version may break a dependency and cause the software to be unbuildable (e.g., fail to compile or link) or, if built, faulty. By mapping dependencies to non-vulnerable versions a graphical representation may be built having one or more root-to-leaf paths identifying all the required packages by compatible version but exclude any vulnerable versions. The package may then be built to ensure the resulting software is both internally compatible between packages and absent known security vulnerabilities.

The design for modern graphical interfaces generated by an application under test (AUT) can take many forms. A codeless testing system reads the output generated by the AUT to identify components, however, scroll bars may be present but in a form that is not reliably identified. As a result, an AUT may comprise scrollable graphical elements that are not identified as such resulting in the performance of tests that are incomplete. By applying a middle button click event, an associated pointer changes form and reveals an associated graphical element to comprise a scrollable element. When the pointer change occurs, testing directed to the scrollable element is then included to perform a more complete testing of the features of the AUT.
A self-contained validation process is initiated. For example, an application may contain code to initiate the self-contained validation process. The self-contained validation process comprises at least one of: a self-contained application validation process, a self-contained container validation process, a self-contained virtual machine validation process, and a self-contained hypervisor validation process. In response to initiating the self-contained validation process, the self-contained validation process requests a list of vulnerabilities associated with the self-contained validation process. The list of vulnerabilities associated with the self-contained validation process is received. For example, the received list of vulnerabilities may identify a security vulnerability in the application. An action taken based on the received list of vulnerabilities associated with the computer process. For example, the application may self-quarantine itself based on the received list of vulnerabilities.

Method and apparatus for efficient file/folder synchronization
A synchronization structure that indicates changes to files that are to be synchronized is created. The synchronization structure is stored as a series of synchronization blocks. A first synchronization message is received from a communication device. The first synchronization message includes a next block number. A second synchronization message is sent to the communication device. The second synchronization message comprises one or more synchronization blocks that are identified based on the next block number. A third synchronization message is received from the communication device. The third synchronization message requests a number of files to be synchronized. The number of files to be synchronized are sent to the communication device.
A controller system receives from a deployer for a computing resource and into which the controller system has been hooked, a state of the computing resource resulting from deployment of a configuration on the computing resource by a deployment user using the deployer. In response to receiving the state of the computing resource from the deployer, the controller system persists the state within a database. In response to receiving the state of the computing resource from the deployer, the controller system automatically invokes a process previously defined by a process user and maintained by a process system into which the controller system has been hooked, based on the state.
For each item represented within log events that have a power law-oriented distribution, first and second metrics for the item are computed based on the log events which pertain to the item. The items are organized over bins according to the first metric. The bins correspond to different ranges of the first metric. For each bin, the items in the bin are ordered according to the second metric. A plot of the bins over which the items have been organized according to the first metric, is graphically displayed, which includes displaying, for each bin, the items in the bin as have been ordered according to the second metric.
A primary blockchain for a software application is created that comprises a first block associated with a software component of the software application. An event is received that is associated with the software component. In response to receiving the event, a component blockchain is created that is associated with the software component. The component blockchain comprises a second block associated with the event. The component blockchain links to the primary blockchain. This provides a structure for managing supply chains of software components. As new software components are received, the new software components can be managed and tracked for quality/security.

Systems and methods for entity interestingness-based retention and removal
A system includes a processor and a memory coupled with and readable by the processor and storing therein a set of instructions. When executed by the processor, the processor is caused to receive application events associated with an application and create data records based on the application events. The processor is further caused to compute an interestingness value for each of the data records based on a goal of the application, assign the computed interestingness value to each of the data records and store each of the data records with the assigned interestingness value.
A request is received, by a plurality of nodes that are part of a distributed blockchain ledger, to add a transaction block to a plurality of blockchains in the distributed blockchain ledger. The transaction block comprises a transaction block authentication credential(s). The plurality of nodes that are part of the distributed blockchain ledger determine if the transaction block authentication credential(s) are valid. An indication is received from at least a majority of the plurality of nodes that are part of the distributed blockchain ledger that the transaction block authentication credential(s) are valid. In response to receiving the indication from the at least a majority of the plurality of nodes that are part of the distributed blockchain ledger that the transaction block authentication credential(s) are valid, the transaction block is added to the plurality of blockchains in the distributed blockchain ledger.
Testing software applications is routinely limited by time or testing iterations rather than exhaustively testing ever possible permutation of inputs or execution paths. By configuring a testing device to only perform relevant tests, the test results are more meaningful (e.g., few false-positives) and relevant to the application. Additional effects include reduced processing times and storage requirements. As described herein, source code is analyzed to determine elements that indicate a particular environment for the source code's corresponding machine code. When the source code indicates that a particular environment is not a candidate for execution of the machine code, tests associated with that particular environment are excluded. The testing device is then configured to perform those tests, either statically or dynamically, that are relevant for those environments that actually apply.
Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a system for generating risk scores in near real-time. The system includes a processor and a memory coupled with and readable by the processor and storing therein a set of instructions. When executed by the processor, the processor is caused to generate risk scores in near real-time by receiving near real-time application events associated with an application in near real-time and identifying anomalies from the near real-time application events. The processor is further caused to generate risk scores in near real-time by generating an intermediate near real-time risk score for the identified anomalies and combining the intermediate near real-time risk score with a batch risk score generated from a batch process executed prior to receiving the near real-time application events to generate a near real-time risk score.
According to an example, a model is selected from models including an augmented buyer model based on probabilities of conceivable transitions, and each conceivable transition includes a multi-step transition between a first URL and a second URL via at least one intermediate URL of the website. A user is determined to likely be a buyer or a non-buyer based on interaction data and the selected model. The user is presented with an offer that encourages the user to buy from the website upon the determination that the user is a buyer.
A sub-archive is initiated. The sub-archive saves changes that have occurred since a previous final archive. Changes to an operational database (i.e., the operational database that is being archived) are allowed during the first sub-archive. A final archive is initiated in series after the sub-archive has completed. The final archive does not allow changes to the operational database when the final archive is active. In one embodiment, the sub-archive may comprise a plurality of sub-archives that depend on an amount of outstanding changes that exist in the operational database.
Testing software applications often requires a balancing of thoroughness versus the time and computing resources available to perform such tests. Certain data handling operations may potentially expose data to unauthorized parties. However, not all data is equal; some data requires a greater degree of protection than other data, which may be based on a security context (e.g., rule, law, policy, etc.). By generating rules determined by a particular context, extraneous tests on data outside of the context, may be omitted. Unnecessary tests may be omitted and the results of each analysis process correlated to identify actual vulnerabilities and omit false positives, such as vulnerabilities to data that does not require the same degree of care to avoid unauthorized exposure.

APPLICATION TUNING BASED ON PERFORMANCE CHARACTERISTICS
According to examples, an apparatus may include a processor and a memory on which are stored machine-readable instructions that when executed by the processor, may cause the processor to receive information regarding a performance characteristic of an application during predetermined time periods. The processor may calculate a rate of change in the performance characteristic over the predetermined time periods. Based on a determination that the performance characteristic of the application has changed over the predetermined time periods, the processor may tune values of a set of parameters for the application based on the calculated rate of change in the performance characteristic.
Software applications may be installed on a variety of platforms and/or process a variety of data or data in a variety of structures. As a result, optimizing a system to maximize performance often depends on a specific utilization and the specific data being processed. Systems and methods are provided herein to compare the performance of one processing logic, often a live or production environment to a test environment that varies the performance parameters. The variations may be provided by a machine learning algorithm, such as neural network, and produce an improved set of parameters that may then be applied to the production environment.
