    Google Patents a Sandboxed Ad Auction System Built on Trusted Execution Environments

    Google is patenting a way to run ad auctions inside hardware-enforced sandboxes so that the code doing the bidding can never leak your personal data — even to Google's own servers.

    Google Patents a System That Grabs Abandoned Domains Before Hackers Can

    Forgotten subdomains are a surprisingly common attack vector — a company decommissions a cloud service but leaves the DNS record pointing nowhere, and an attacker quietly registers the underlying resource to hijack traffic. Google's new patent describes a platform that finds those orphaned domains and claims them first.

    Google Patents a Phone Incognito Mode That Swaps Your Cellular Identity

    Browsers have had incognito mode for years — Google now wants to bring that same concept to your phone's cellular identity, swapping out the SIM profile that carriers use to track you, then quietly swapping it back.

    Microsoft Patents a Dynamic Compliance-Checking System for App Data Access

    Before an app can touch sensitive data, Microsoft's new patent wants to check whether that app is actually playing by the rules — and revoke access the moment it stops.

    Microsoft Patents a Key Rotation System That Never Exposes Your Encrypted Data

    Rotating encryption keys is a security best practice — but doing it usually means either holding onto old keys or laboriously re-encrypting everything. Microsoft's latest patent tries to make that tradeoff disappear entirely.

    Microsoft Patents a Security Engine That Blocks Files Based on Filename Tricks and Device History

    Malware often hides in plain sight — a file named 'Report.pdf.exe' looks like a document but runs like a program. Microsoft's new patent describes a security engine that catches exactly this kind of trick, and uses your device's recent file history to decide whether to block it.

    Microsoft Patents a Multi-Layer Security Graph Engine for Cloud Incident Management

    Managing cloud security means juggling thousands of interconnected resources — servers, identities, permissions, network paths — and querying all of that in real time is messy. Microsoft's new patent tries to make it cleaner by wrapping that complexity in a structured, multi-layer graph.

    Google Patents a Timed Rotation System for Ephemeral Cryptographic Keys

    Every secure connection you make relies on cryptographic keys — and how often those keys rotate is a quiet but critical detail. Google's new patent describes a system that generates, caches, and automatically expires those keys on a strict timed schedule.

    Microsoft Wants LLMs to Do Your Threat Modeling For You

    Threat modeling is one of the most time-consuming parts of secure software development. Microsoft is patenting an approach that hands the job to a large language model.

    Microsoft Patents an AI Prompt Security System That Profiles Both Models and Users

    What if your AI assistant could tell when something about a conversation felt off — not because a word matched a blocklist, but because the whole pattern of the interaction looked statistically weird? That's what Microsoft is building here.

    Microsoft Patents AI Agent System for Searching Fragmented Cybersecurity Data

    Security teams routinely juggle dozens of databases that don't speak the same language — literally. Microsoft's new patent describes an AI agent system that lets analysts ask questions in plain English and get answers pulled from all of them at once.

    Microsoft Patents an AI System That Reads Security Logs and Summarizes Threats Automatically

    Security logs are famously unreadable — thousands of raw lines that analysts have to sift through to find the one event that matters. Microsoft's new patent describes a system that ingests those logs, detects anomalies automatically, and then uses a generative AI model to write a plain-English summary of what went wrong.
