  • Patent number: 9954884
    Abstract: Embodiments of a system and method for a cyber modeling and simulation framework arc generally described herein. In some embodiments, an interface (212) for ingest of network and vulnerability data associated with a node of a targeted network, a network visualization device (232) for presenting the network data and the vulnerability data, and for creating a network model based on the network and vulnerability data, a threat analysis simulator (240) for launching threat attacks on the targeted network and for applying modeled defenses against the threat attacks, the threat analysis simulator producing simulation results (244) and a data farming module for performing data fanning on the simulation results using different scenarios to generate a farm of data for use in designing anti-cyber-attack strategies (280) for the targeted network.

  • Patent number: 9367694
    Abstract: Generally discussed herein are systems, apparatuses, or processes to recognize that a cyber threat exists or predict a future track of a cyber threat in a network. According to an example, a process for recognizing a cyber threat can include (1) determining a network layout of a network based on received network layout data, (2) receiving cyber sensor data indicating actions performed on the network, (3) calculating a first score associated with the cyber sensor data indicating that a cyber threat is present in the network by comparing a cyber threat profile of the cyber threat that details actions performed by the cyber threat to actions indicated by the cyber sensor data, (4) determining whether the calculated first score is greater than a specified threshold, or (5) determining that the cyber threat is present in response to determining the calculated first score is greater than the specified threshold.
