  • Patent number: 11277431
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and related technologies for determining a comprehensive risk score or value are described. The risk score determination may include selecting an entity communicatively coupled to a network and determining a cyber-attack likelihood value and a cyber-attack impact value associated with the entity. A cyber-attack risk may then be determined based on the cyber-attack likelihood value and a cyber-attack impact value associated with the entity. An operational failure likelihood value and an operational failure impact value associated with the entity can be determined. An operational failure risk based on the operational failure likelihood value and the operational failure impact value associated with the entity can be determined. A risk value may then be determined for the entity based on the cyber-attack risk and the operational failure risk and the risk value for the entity can be stored.

  • Patent number: 11012330
    Abstract: An intrusion detection method for detecting an intrusion in data traffic on a data communication network parses the data traffic to extract at least one protocol field of a protocol message of the data traffic, and associates the extracted protocol field with a model for that protocol field. The model is selected from a set of models. An assessment is made to determine if a contents of the extracted protocol field is in a safe region as defined by the model, and an intrusion detection signal is generated in case it is established that the contents of the extracted protocol field is outside the safe region. The set of models may comprise a corresponding model for each protocol field of a set of protocol fields.

  • Patent number: 10965758
    Abstract: A method, apparatus and product for sub-networks based cyber security. One method comprises detecting a device connecting to a local network which is divided into subnets; determining a usage profile of the device; automatically selecting a subnet to connect the device based on the usage profile; and connecting the device to the selected subnet in the local network. Another method comprises monitoring communication traffic of devices in each of the subnets of a local network; performing anomaly detection to detect an abnormal communication of a device connected to a subnet; blocking the abnormal communication of the device; and removing the device from the subnet and connecting the device to a quarantine subnet of the local network, whereby reducing connectivity of the device with other devices connected to the local network.
