A data management method is provided for storing a real-time history of a file system, or a component thereof, such as a directory or a file. The real-time history is stored as an object-oriented logical representation comprising at least a set of version metadata objects, and a set of one or more links that associate given objects of the set of version metadata objects. As one or more events occur in the real-time history, the logical representation is restructured dynamically. The logical representation is useful to provide any point-in-time reconstruction of the file system component on an as-needed basis.

A computerized method for detecting premium attacks by an attack classification system is described. Based on received analytic information, the attack classification system generates logical representations for different portions of the analytic information represented as a nodal graph. The logical representations include objects, properties, and relationships between the objects and the properties. The attack classification system filters at least one relationship from the relationships and forms a first cluster further filtering the relationships. Being a logical representation of objects, properties and the remaining relationships, the first cluster is analyzed to determine features and introduce the features into the nodal graph. An analysis of the features determines whether the objects, properties and relationships forming the first cluster are associated with a premium attack by at least applying rule-based constraints to the features of the first cluster to determine whether they correspond to cluster features commonly present in premium attacks.

A method of creating an IT-network representation including automatically discoverable active elements and not automatically discoverable, passive elements. A logical discoverable-elements representation of the IT network is produced, by running a network auto-discovery tool. The representation includes the automatically discoverable active elements and a discoverable-elements network topology. Representations of not automatically discoverable elements are manually inserted, by a user by means of a network-element editor, between automatically discovered elements into said discoverable-elements representation. Thereby a combined logical representation is created which models the IT network with its automatically discoverable elements and non automatically discoverable elements.

A method may be provided for incrementally backing up data from a logically represented volume on disk media. The disk media is accessible by a client through a network connection. The client comprises an enterprise database application. The method identifies tracks of the logically represented volume that have changed since a last incremental backup operation by reading fresh data indications. Each of the fresh data indications corresponds to a track of the logically represented volume, and a given fresh data indication is indicative of whether its corresponding track has been changed since a last incremental backup operation. Files are identified for incremental backup. The identified files comprise blocks saved on a track deemed changed since a last incremental backup operation.

Embodiments are directed to efficiently backing up portions of data and to performing a scoped data recovery. In an embodiment, a computer system preloads data images with data corresponding to various different software applications or operating systems. The computer system chunks the data images, so that each data image is divided into multiple data chunks, and where each data chunk is represented by a hash value. The computer system then receives, from a user, portions of delta data representing data differences between the received user data and the data in the preloaded data images. The computer system also generates a logical backup representation that includes the data chunk hash values for the preloaded data images as well as the delta data received from the user. This logical representation allows restoration of the user's data using only the hash values and the delta data.

A segmentation and re-assembly (SAR) decode engine receives protocol data units of data from a communication channel between two computers, sequences the protocol data units, and re-assembles the data in the protocol data units into the messages exchanged by the computers. The SAR decode engine is responsible for unpacking the payloads from the protocol data units as instructed by a protocol interpreter associated with the protocol data unit, and for creating and maintaining a flow object database containing flow objects representing the data flows at each protocol layer. The SAR decode engine creates a protocol flow object for each protocol layer and logically links the protocol flow object to circuit flow objects that define two one-way circuits within the channel. The circuit flow objects linked to a protocol flow object are logical representations of the protocol data units for the next higher protocol layer. For protocols that fragment data, each circuit flow object is a vector list containing one or more vectors that define the length, starting location and position of the data fragments in the immediately lower layer circuit flow objects.

Customers are contacted on social media websites and instant messaging programs by monitoring a plurality of network-enabled user-interactive sites, e.g., social media websites, for an active presence of a customer on one of the sites. Upon detection of an active presence, a customer support agent is assigned to the customer associated, and a communication channel of customer's choice is established between the agent and the customer. This communication channel is used to exchange messages between the assigned agent and the associated predefined customer. A single contact center representation is established on each site, and a separate logical representation of each single contact center representation is established on premises equipment associated with the agent. The logical representation on the agent premises equipment is used to establish the communication channel between the customer support agent and the associated predefined customer.
