A method for providing a symbiotic network orchestrator utilized to automatically commission edge computing devices on corporate computing networks and edge site computing networks is presented. The method includes receiving an indication of a potential connection of an edge computing device to one or more computing networks associated with the orchestrator. The one or more computing networks includes a corporate computing network and an edge site computing network. The method further includes determining, based on the corporate computing network, the edge site computing network, and a predetermined set of rules, an intent for commissioning the edge computing device, reconfiguring, based on the intent, the corporate computing network and the edge site computing network, and commissioning the edge computing device on one or more of the corporate computing network or the edge site computing network in accordance with the reconfiguring.

Symbiotic network orchestrator for computing networks

In one embodiment, a device stores, in a database, relationship metadata indicative of an entry in one data field in the database being derived from that of another data field in the database. The device receives a structured database query that includes an identifier for a particular data field and a lineage keyword that requests a data lineage of the particular data field. The device executes the structured database query on the database to generate a data lineage report for the particular data field by tracing the relationship metadata associated with the particular data field to one or more related data fields. The device provides the data lineage report for display. The data lineage report includes information regarding the one or more related data fields.

Data lineage querying with lineage visualizations

The present technology includes applying a security policy by an application security system to a transaction within an application that is monitored by the application security system. The present technology includes monitoring transaction occurring between a client device an application over a network. The present technology also includes identifying a first transaction from the transactions as a sensitive transaction. The sensitive transaction is associated with an authentication policy requiring an authentication. The present technology also includes interrupting the application. The present technology also includes prompting the client device for the authentication.

Frictionless supplementary multi-factor authentication for sensitive transactions within an application session

A method for unjoining and rejoining clusters of computing nodes in edge site computing networks to reduce the impact of interruption to connectivity between computing nodes is presented. The method includes accessing a cluster of computing nodes executing on an edge site computing network. The cluster of computing nodes includes a plurality of follower computing nodes and a leader computing node. The method further includes detecting an interruption to connectivity established between the leader computing node and one or more of the plurality of follower computing nodes. In response to detecting the interruption to connectivity, the method includes bifurcating the cluster of computing nodes into a first subcluster of computing nodes and a second subcluster of computing nodes. In response to detecting a restoration of connectivity, the method includes recombining the first subcluster of computing nodes and the second subcluster of computing nodes.

Unjoining and rejoining clusters in computing networks

This disclosure relates to methods, systems, and non-transitory computer-readable storage media for integrating a multi-factor authentication system with a security system. The present technology can receive authentication data descriptive of a user associated with a user device. The present technology can also permit the user to access a secure physical location. The present technology can also limit capabilities of the user device while the user is within the secure physical location.

Protecting physical locations with continuous multi-factor authentication systems

In one embodiment, a method for selecting video channels is implemented on a computing device and includes: presenting at least one set of detected facial images, detecting user selection of a selected set of detected facial images, where each of the at least one set is associated with one of the video channels; and sending a video channel switching command to a video channel playing device, where the video channel switching command indicates a switch to the video channel associated with the selected set of detected facial images.

Video channel selection

In one embodiment, a system comprises a processor to retrieve a first data element including a value Xand Y, provide a hash function for use with a hash table having buckets, the hash function having a first and second input that in combination map to one of the buckets wherein the first input is in a range of X-values having X-value sub-ranges, the second input is in a range of Y-values having Y-value sub-ranges, different combinations of the X-value sub-ranges and the Y-value sub-ranges map using the hash function to different buckets, and input the value Xand Yinto the hash function yielding an output which is indicative of a first bucket of the hash-table. Related apparatus and methods are also described.

Storing and retrieval heuristics

In one embodiment, a system includes a processor to retrieve, from a memory, data of a video frame, the data including measurements of luminance, each of the measurements of luminance being associated with a different entry in a matrix, calculate a weighted average luminance value Ly for the measurements of luminance weighted according to a row position of the one measurement of luminance in the matrix, calculate a weighted average luminance value Lx for the measurements of luminance weighted according to a column position of the one measurement of luminance in the matrix, and create a video signature, S, of the video frame, the video signature, S, including the weighted average luminance value Ly and the weighted average luminance value Lx. Related apparatus and methods are also described.
