Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus for use in a distributed client-side user monitoring and attack system are disclosed herein. An example method includes providing a first set of instructions from a security application server to a target application server, the first set of instructions to, when executed, cause a client device to transmit a request for an image to the security application server. In response to the request for the image, a connection is opened between the client device and the security application server. Via the connection opened in response to the request for the image, a second set of instructions is provided to cause the client device to perform a vulnerability test on the target application server and communicate a result of the vulnerability test via the connection.

Abstract: An embodiment invention provides a new way of creating a distributed client side user monitoring and attack system for use within the security market. In one embodiment of the invention, a distributed client side user monitoring and attack system, includes: a security application server; a target application server; a target application; and a first code in the target application to permit backchannel communications with the security application server.

Abstract: Systems and methods for managed security assessment and mitigation are disclosed. An example system includes a security management system (SMS), a network device in a system under test (SUT), wherein the network device is privy to traffic in the SUT, and wherein the SMS is privy to traffic that is known by the network device and/or to one or more traffic observations that is known by the network device.

Abstract: In an embodiment of the invention, a system for assessing vulnerabilities includes: a security management system; a network device in a system under test (SUT), wherein the network device is privy to traffic in the SUT; and wherein the SMS is privy to traffic that is known by the network device and/or to one or more traffic observations that is known by the network device.
