  • Patent number: 11503043
    Abstract: The instant disclosure is directed to an attack/unwanted activity detecting firewall for use in protecting authentication-based network resources. The instant system is adapted for installation inline or in sniffer mode. In various embodiments, defined rules are applied to network traffic to determine whether certain types of attacks are occurring on the network resources. If one such attack is detected, the system provides for several potential responses, including for example disconnecting the attacking remote machine, requiring the user at that machine to re-authenticate, and/or requiring a second factor of authentication from the user at that machine. In some example embodiments, regardless of any activity required of a user at the remote machine suspected of malicious behavior, the disclosed system generates an alarm or other alert for presentation as appropriate, such as via a graphical user interface or a third-party system using an API.

  • Patent number: 8078707
    Abstract: A system manages a network that includes devices, administrators, and objects. The system forms a hierarchical tree of domains that semantically organize the network, where each of the domains includes logical groupings of the devices, the administrators, or the objects. The system manages the network based on the hierarchical tree of domains.

  • Patent number: 7954161
    Abstract: A system and method to identify and characterize nonfatal failures of a device-under-analysis (DUA). A security analyzer executes attacks to test the security of the DUA. During the attacks, the security analyzer periodically sends an instrumentation command to the DUA and measures the time the DUA takes to successfully respond to the instrumentation command (the response time sample). The security analyzer uses the response time samples to identify and/or characterize the nonfatal failures in the DUA caused by the attacks.
