Abstract:
A system is provided for employing an orchestrator to deploy and implement changes to a system. A change request may be a system build, upgrade, and patches for updating a subset of files within the system. The orchestrator may initially perform a security check and a validation check on a received change request. Upon receiving validation and approval, the change request may be deployed and propagated through a series of deployment scopes. The deployment scopes may become increasingly larger to extensively test the applied change before fully implementing the change on the target system. The orchestrator may submit the applied change to a validation component for getting validation of the change within the deployment scope after each applied change within a deployment scope. After the change request has been deployed through the deployment scopes and validated, the change request may be deployed to the target system and fully implemented.

Alexander Macleod - Redmond WA, US
Assignee:

Abstract:
Anomalous activity is detected using event information that is received from accounts from within an online service. Generally, anomalous activity is detected by comparing a baseline profile that includes past event information for accounts of the online service with a recent profile that includes recent event information for the accounts. Anomalous activity is detected when the recent profile shows that one or more events are occurring more frequently as compared to the occurrence of the event the associated baseline profile. The events that are recorded and used in the anomaly detection may include all or a portion of events that are monitored by the online service. One or more reports may also be automatically generated and provided to one or more users to show activity that may be considered anomalous activity.
