Title: Garbage collection absent use of special instructions
Inventor: MICHAEL GSCHWIND
IPC: G06F12/02
Filed: 2016-06-21
Abstract: Garbage collection processing is facilitated. Based on execution of a load instruction and determining that an address of an object pointer to be loaded is located in a pointer storage area and the object pointer indicates a location within a selected portion of memory undergoing garbage collection, processing control is obtained by a handler executing within a processor of the computing environment. The handler obtains the object pointer from the pointer storage area, and determines whether the object pointer is to be modified. If the object pointer is to be modified, the handler modifies the object pointer. The handler may then store the modified object pointer in a selected location.

Title: Method of threat detection in a computer network security system
Inventor: MATTI AKSELA
IPC: H04L29/06
Filed: 2019-03-07
Abstract: Raw data related to network nodes is received 301 and dissimilar data types are aligned as input events. These input events are filtered 302 by use of an adjustable threshold that is based on a filtering score. The filtering score is an estimate of the likelihood that the input event is followed by a security related detection (e.g. threat detection). Input events passed through the filter are processed using enrichment process 304. Data received from the enrichment process is analysed 305 for generating a security related decision. Filtering input events may be based on self-learning rules, decision trees, deep learning, neural networks or machine learning 303. Machine learning models may be trained on data received from network nodes. Enrichment may comprise extending the structure and context of events with previously collected data. Data may be analysed using predetermined rules, heuristics, machine learning, fuzzy logic or statistical inference. Off-line processes may be used for separate analysis of unfiltered input events and updating the machine learning model used to generate the filtering score. Taking further action may comprise preventing nodes from being switched off, switching on firewalls, slowing or blocking connectivity, quarantining, collecting logs, warnings, sending software updates.
