  • Patent number: 12032681
    Abstract: The methods and systems disclosed herein generally relate to automated execution and evaluation of computer network training exercises, such as in a virtual environment. A server executes a first attack action by a virtual attack machine against a virtual target machine based on a cyber-attack scenario, wherein the virtual target machine is configured to be controlled by the user computer. The server receives a user response to the first attack action, determines, using a decision tree, a first proposed attack action based on the user response, and executes an artificial intelligence model to determine a second proposed attack action based on the user response. The server selects a subsequent attack action from the first proposed attack action and the second proposed attack action and executes the subsequent attack action by the virtual attack machine against the virtual target machine.

  • Patent number: 11973783
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are embodiments of systems, methods, and products comprise a computing device, which allows in-network and network-border protection for Internet of things (IoT) devices by securely partitioning network space and defining service-based access to IoT devices. The disclosed segmented attack prevention system for IoT networks (SAPSIN) segments the IoT network into two virtual networks: a service network and a control network; and define access control rules for each virtual network. In the service network, SAPSIN utilizes a service-based approach to control device access, allowing only configured protocol, applications, network ports, or address groups to enter or exit the network. In control network, the SAPSIN provides the access control rules by defining a threshold for the number of configuration requests within a predetermined time. As a result, SAPSIN protects IoT devices against intrusion and misuse, without the need for device-specific software or device-specific security hardening.
