Patent number: 9117073Abstract: In systems and methods of network path generation, instructions are transferred from a first network node to a second network node instructing the second network node to establish a first secure communication link with the first network node. According to the instructions, instructions are transferred from the second network node to a third network node instructing the third network node to establish a second secure communication link with the second network node. Within the first secure communication link and the second communication link, a third secure communication link between the first network node and the third network node is established.Type: GrantFiled: February 8, 2013Date of Patent: August 25, 2015Assignee: MANTECH ADVANCED SYSTEMS INTERNATIONAL, INC.Inventors: Matthias P. Daue, Aaron M. Carreras, Douglas E. Albert

Patent number: 8863288Abstract: In systems and methods of detecting malicious software, a software agent comprising at least one scan module is assembled by a source system and is transferred by the source system to a target system. In response to a connection request from the software agent a connection is established to the software agent and a file is received from the target system. At the source system, a static analysis is performed on the transferred file to generate a static threat score, and a dynamic analysis is performed to generate a dynamic threat score. Based on the static threat score and the dynamic threat score an aggregate threat score is generated for the transferred file.Type: GrantFiled: December 30, 2011Date of Patent: October 14, 2014Assignee: Mantech Advanced Systems International, Inc.Inventors: David R. Savage, Ateeq Sharfuddin, Tsu-Yi Lin, Benjamin L. Dagana
