| 20210326450 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR AIDA CAMPAIGN CONTROLLER INTELLIGENT RECORDS - Systems and methods, disclosed herein, of a campaign controller that stores information to a database about execution of multiple simulated phishing campaigns for multiple users, where each of the simulated phishing campaigns use one or more models for communicating simulated phishing communications. Based on this information, the campaign controller may determine a rate of success of the model, in causing a user to interact with a link in one of the simulated phishing campaigns, and may display the model's rate of success via a user interface. | 2021-10-21 |
| 20210326451 | AUTOMATED SECURITY ASSESSMENT OF BUSINESS-CRITICAL SYSTEMS AND APPLICATIONS - Systems and methods which provide a new application security assessment framework that allows auditing and testing systems to automatically perform security and compliance audits, detect technical security vulnerabilities, and illustrate the associated security risks affecting the business-critical applications. | 2021-10-21 |
| 20210326452 | DISTRIBUTED DIGITAL SECURITY SYSTEM - A distributed security system can include instances of a compute engine that can execute either locally in security agents on client devices or as cloud instances in a security network. Event data can be processed by elements of the distributed security system according to centrally-defined ontological definitions and/or configurations. Bounding managers of local security agents can control how much event data is sent to the security network. A storage engine in the security network can store event data received from client devices, can route event data to other elements of the security network, including cloud instances of the compute engine. An experimentation engine of the security network can also at least temporarily adjust other elements of the distributed security system during experiments or tests. | 2021-10-21 |

| 20210326454 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR USE IN VALIDATING ARTIFACTS FOR DEPLOYMENT - Systems and methods are provided for use in authenticating a software artifact, including target applications for a payment network. One exemplary computer-implemented method includes retrieving metadata and a stage log for an artifact from a stage of a pipeline, the metadata including a result of the stage. A keyword count is generated of the stage log, and a checksum for the stage log is generated based on a hashing function. A stage record is compiled for the artifact and the stage. The stage record includes the checksum, a representation of the keyword count, and the result, but not the stage log. The stage record is stored in at least two different data structures. The artifact is authenticated based on the stage records for the artifact in each of the at least two data structures, prior to releasing the artifact into production. | 2021-10-21 |
| 20210326455 | SYSTEM FOR ANALYSIS AND AUTHORIZATION FOR USE OF EXECUTABLE ENVIRONMENT DATA IN A COMPUTING SYSTEM USING HASH OUTPUTS - A virtual environment system for validating executable data using authorized hash outputs is provided. In particular, the system may generate a virtual environment using a virtual environment device, where the virtual environment is logically and/or physically separated from other devices and/or environments within the network. The system may then open a specified set of executable data within the virtual environment and perform a set of commands or processes with respect to the executable data. If the system determines that the executable data is unsafe to run, the system may generate a hash output of the executable data and store the hash output in a database of unauthorized executable data. In this way, the system may securely generate a repository of authorized and unauthorized hashes such that the system may ensure that unsafe executable data is blocked from being processed within a network environment. | 2021-10-21 |

Operations may include maintaining a database of a plurality of sets of encrypted data; receiving a transformed search query for the database, the transformed search query having undergone a transformation process at a client including: identifying a plaintext string in a search query at the client, applying the plaintext string to a language dictionary accessible to the client, receiving, based on the language dictionary, one or more plaintext search strings, and encrypting, at the client, the one or more plaintext search strings; and returning a result based on the transformed search query, the result being based on the encrypted one or more plaintext search strings. | 2021-10-21 |
| 20210326457 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR GENERATING PRIVACY DATA CONTAINMENT AND REPORTING - Aspects of the present disclosure involve, a customizable system and infrastructure which can receive privacy data from varying data sources for privacy scanning, containment, and reporting. In one embodiment, data received is scanned for privacy data extraction using various data connectors and decryption techniques. In another embodiment, the data extracted is transferred to a privacy scanning container where the data is analyzed by various deep learning models for the correct classification of the data. In some instances, the data extracted may be unstructured data deriving form emails, case memos, surveys, social media posts, and the like. Once the data is classified, the data may be stored or contained according to the classification of the data. Still in another embodiment, the classified data may be retrieved by an analytics container for use in reporting. | 2021-10-21 |
| 20210326458 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR MEDIATING PERMISSIONS - Systems and methods mediate permissions for applications on user devices using predictive models. Data communications are monitored on a user device for permission requests and responses. A predictive model is trained with these permission requests and responses until a threshold is met. Then, a default permission response is provided on behalf of the user device in response to a permission request. | 2021-10-21 |
