Patent number: 8132260Abstract: A method for a computer system includes receiving a topology of a network including a server location and a threat server at a threat server location, determining a vulnerability security risk for the server location, determining remediation actions including a first action and a second action in response to the vulnerability, determining updated security risks associated with the server location including an first updated security risk for a first action and a second updated security risk for, and displaying a prioritized list of remediation actions on the display, wherein the first remediation action is prioritized over the second remediation action when the first updated security risk value with respect to the security risk value shows a greater improvement in risk than the second updated security risk value with respect to the security risk value.Type: GrantFiled: June 12, 2007Date of Patent: March 6, 2012Assignee: Redseal Systems, Inc.Inventors: Alain Jules Mayer, Brian Laing, Michael Lloyd

Publication number: 20060129672Abstract: A method and an apparatus for analyzing a network configuration against a corporate network policy and determining violation(s) against the corporate network policy. A report indicating the violation(s) can be generated indicating instances of the violation(s). An analysis platform reads in a network policy. The analysis platform collects configuration files from the relevant network devices in the network and builds up an internal instance of a network configuration model based on the configuration files and the network topology. The analysis platform analyzes this network configuration model according to the network policy and adds an entry to its final report each time that it detects a violation against the network policy in the network configuration model. The data in the entries pinpoints the cause of the deviation(s) from the network policy.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 18, 2006Publication date: June 15, 2006Applicant: RedSeal Systems, Inc., a Corporation of DelawareInventor: Alain Mayer
