    摘要: The disclosed computer-implemented method for protecting users may include (i) intercepting an attempt to login to a user account of an application using a login credential, (ii) preventing a user corresponding to the user account from revealing personally identifiable information by populating a field for the login credential with a value for an identity-masking persona as a substitute for the personally identifiable information, and (iii) enabling a completion of the attempt to login to the user account of the application using the value for the identity-masking persona, rather than the personally identifiable information, to provide the user with access to an online resource through the application. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.

    摘要: The disclosed computer-implemented method for managing connections may include (i) detecting, by a security agent on an endpoint, an attempt by another application on the endpoint to establish a connection according to a specific Internet protocol, and (ii) injecting, by the security agent on the endpoint, into an options field within a header of a network packet within the connection, the header formatted according to the specific Internet protocol, at least one byte that reveals identifying information about the application to enable an in-line proxy security device to manage the connection according to the revealed identifying information. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.

    摘要: The disclosed computer-implemented method for performing load balancing and distributed high-availability may include (i) detecting through a group communication channel that links all nodes of a computing cluster that an overburdened node of the computing cluster has fallen below a predefined performance level, (ii) determining to transfer a specific microservice transaction from the overburdened node to a helper node in the computing cluster, (iii) copying data for the specific microservice transaction from a portion of a central data store that is reserved for the overburdened node to another data store that is reserved for the helper node, and (iv) completing, by the helper node, the specific microservice transaction by referencing the copied data for the specific microservice transaction in the data store that is reserved for the helper node. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.

    摘要: The disclosed computer-implemented method for protecting users may include (i) identifying a first light-and-radio frequency signature that was captured by a security device based on signals emanating from a mobile computing device at a first time and location, (ii) identifying a second light-and-radio frequency signature that was captured by a same or different security device based on signals emanating from the same mobile computing device at a second time and location, (iii) determining that the first light-and-radio frequency signature and the second light-and-radio frequency signature match such that an inference is made that an individual possessing the mobile computing device was present at both the first time and location and the second time and location, and (iv) performing, based on the inference, a security action to protect a user. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.

    摘要: The disclosed computer-implemented method for enhancing user privacy may include (i) intercepting, by a privacy-protecting network proxy, network traffic between a client device and a server device, the client device being protected by a network-based privacy solution that inhibits browser fingerprinting through the privacy-protecting network proxy, (ii) detecting, at the privacy-protecting network proxy, that the network traffic indicates an attempt by a browser fingerprinting service to perform browser fingerprinting on the client device, and (iii) modifying, at the privacy-protecting network proxy based on the detecting of the attempt to perform browser fingerprinting, the intercepted network traffic such that browser fingerprinting performed by the browser fingerprinting service is at least partially inhibited. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.

    摘要: The disclosed computer-implemented method for improving application analysis may include (i) configuring a computing environment to execute an application such that the computing environment spoofs a simulated geolocation that is detected by the application, (ii) performing a dynamic analysis of how the application behaves within the simulated geolocation, and (iii) generating a holistic security analysis of the application based on both a result of the dynamic analysis performed for the simulated geolocation and an additional result of at least one additional dynamic analysis performed for a second geolocation that is distinct from the simulated geolocation. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.

    摘要: The disclosed computer-implemented method for detecting certificate pinning may include (i) attempting, by a security network proxy, to break a network connection between a client device and a server device, (ii) detecting, by the security network proxy, whether the network connection between the client device and the server device is certificate pinned based on a result of attempting to break the network connection, and (iii) performing a security action by the security network proxy to protect the client device at least in part based on detecting whether the network connection between the client device and the server device is certificate pinned. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.
