  • Patent number: 9954896
    Abstract: Systems and methods of managing the security of a networked environment by deploying virtual appliances and using a central monitoring console to manage the feedback from these virtual appliances and view it alongside other activity on the network environment. In one embodiment a system is provided that includes a control module; and one or more virtual appliances each configured to, upon deployment in the network, automatically communicably link to the control module and report state information about the virtual appliance.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 9917858
    Abstract: Systems and methods of managing the security of a networked environment based on activity associated with deployed pseudo-accounts are presented. In one embodiment, a plurality of pseudo-accounts are deployed in one or more networks, domains, or virtual machines and activity associated with the pseudo-accounts is collected to identify security risks to facilitate remediation and mitigation.

  • Patent number: 9787720
    Abstract: Systems and methods of correlating accounts among a plurality of network assets using account lateral movement data is presented in the context of network security. In one embodiment a plurality of authentication audit logs are received from a plurality of assets; the plurality of authentication audit logs are correlated; and a notification is generated based on a comparison of correlation results and a database of permitted account associations.

  • Patent number: 9270694
    Abstract: A security assessment tool can determine computer assets in a network and provide an overall security score for the network. The overall security score can represent an objective measure of the security of the network that considers potential security threats to the computer assets, counter measures deployed in the network to address the potential security threats, and the effectiveness of the counter measures. Based on the overall security assessment, the security assessment tool can provide recommendations for improving the security of the network.
