A method includes monitoring user activities at an endpoint device on a network, determining if a user activity at the endpoint device presents a potential threat to network security, creating an alert of the threat, and providing the alert with a redacted version of a screenshot from the endpoint device. One or more open windows are obscured or removed in the redacted version of the screenshot of the endpoint device. Providing the redacted includes receiving data describing physical characteristics of the open window(s) from an operating system, receiving a screenshot of the screen of the endpoint device, and obscuring the one or more open windows by creating one or more visual covers. Each visual cover matches a size and shape of one of the open windows based on the data that describes the physical characteristics of the open window(s). Each visual cover is placed over the corresponding open window.

A computer system and method are provided to intercept a task from a primary user account 121 prior to execution of the task by the computer device 200, where the task relates to an untrusted content. A task isolation environment 350 is provisioned for executing the task, including programmatically creating a secondary user account 121b on the computer device. A mapped network drive 420 of the primary user account 121 is determined and is automatically provisioned in the secondary user account 121b. Access to the mapped network drive 420 is controlled by an agent 300 on the computer device 200.

In response to a request for launching an application within an operating system of a data processing system, one or more extended entitlements are extracted from the application, where the one or more extended entitlements specify one or more resources the application is entitled to access. One or more security profile extensions corresponding to the one or more extended entitlements are dynamically generated. A security profile specifically for the application is created based on the one or more security profile extensions and a base security profile that has been previously compiled, where the base security profile specifies a list of a plurality of base resources. The application is then launched in a sandboxed operating environment that is configured based on the security profile specifically generated for the application.

Systems and methods for managed security assessment and mitigation are disclosed. An example system includes a security management system (SMS), a network device in a system under test (SUT), wherein the network device is privy to traffic in the SUT, and wherein the SMS is privy to traffic that is known by the network device and/or to one or more traffic observations that is known by the network device.

A hardware platform includes a nonvolatile storage device that can store system firmware as well as code for the primary operating system for the hardware platform. The hardware platform includes a controller that determines the hardware platform lacks functional firmware to boot the primary operating system from the storage device. The controller accesses a firmware image from an external interface that interfaces a device external to the hardware platform, where the external device is a firmware image source. The controller provisions the firmware from the external device to the storage device and initiates a boot sequence from the provisioned firmware.

A computer system and method are provided to intercept a task from a primary user account 121 prior to execution of the task by the computer device 200, where the task relates to an untrusted content. A task isolation environment 350 is provisioned for executing the task, including programmatically creating a secondary user account 121b on the computer device. The task is executed in the task isolation environment 350 in relation to the untrusted content. A second folder 126b in the secondary user account 121b is mapped to a first folder 126a in the primary user account 121 and file access requests for the second folder 126b are intercepted by an agent 300 and redirected to the first folder 126a.

Systems and methods for providing secure motherboard replacement techniques are described. In one embodiment, an Information Handling System (IHS) may include computer-executable instructions to, during a bootstrap process, obtain a remodeled vendor tracking certificate from a replacement motherboard in which the remodeled vendor tracking certificate comprising inventory information associated with a previous motherboard, and determine that the vendor tracking certificate includes information indicating that the replacement motherboard has replaced a previous motherboard. When it is determined that the motherboard has replaced a previous motherboard, compare the inventory information with one or more devices installed with the replacement motherboard such that when the comparison fails, generate an alert message indicating that an inventory associated with the previous motherboard does not match a current inventory associated with the replacement motherboard, and when the comparison succeeds, allow the bootstrap process to complete.

A cloud-based method, a behavioral analysis system, and a cloud-based security system can include a plurality of nodes communicatively coupled to one or more users, wherein the plurality of nodes each perform inline monitoring for one of the one or more users for security comprising malware detection and preclusion; and a behavioral analysis system communicatively coupled to the plurality of nodes, wherein the behavioral analysis system performs offline analysis for any suspicious content from the one or more users which is flagged by the plurality of nodes; wherein the plurality of nodes each comprise a set of known malware signatures for the inline monitoring that is periodically updated by the behavioral analysis system based on the offline analysis for the suspicious content.

A hardware platform includes a nonvolatile storage device that can store system firmware as well as code for the primary operating system for the hardware platform. The hardware platform includes a controller that determines the hardware platform lacks functional firmware to boot the primary operating system from the storage device. The controller accesses a firmware image from an external interface that interfaces a device external to the hardware platform, where the external device is a firmware image source. The controller provisions the firmware from the external device to the storage device and initiates a boot sequence from the provisioned firmware.

An eUICC card comprising an initial runtime environment, subscriber profiles, associated adapters, and an adaptive routine configured to apply these adapters. An adapter enables the initial runtime environment to be adapted to the specificities of the corresponding profile when the latter is enabled. To enable dynamic adaptation of the runtime environment to the profiles used, the eUICC card further comprises inverse adapters associated with the profiles. The inverse adapter of the active profile makes it possible to restore the initial runtime environment upon disabling or deleting this profile. The adaptation can consist of modifying a Java class of the Java Card runtime environment of the eUICC, to the specificities of a profile.
