  • Publication number: 20230091953
    Abstract: Methods and supporting systems for discovering and attributing computational assets to respective entities includes receiving datasets comprising source record data for numerous of entities and including attributes such as point of contact data elements and normalizing the data elements to maintain a consistent format across the source record data. A filter is applied against the normalized source record data to identify data that are either (i) redundant or (ii) refer to a bulk control entity. A further curation step can be applied against the data as the data is stored as a bipartite graph, wherein a first set of nodes of the bipartite graph represents source records and a second set of nodes represents attributes of the source records.

  • Patent number: 11050779
    Abstract: Computer-implemented methods are provided for assessing the cybersecurity state of entities based on computer network characterization. The exemplary method can include obtaining, for one or more computer networks of a plurality of computer networks associated with an entity, a network dataset including a service set identifier (SSID); and obtaining a plurality of Internet Protocol (IP) addresses associated with the entity. The method can further include determining whether each of the plurality of computer networks includes a public network or a private network based on the network dataset; and assessing a cybersecurity state of the entity based on an evaluation of security characteristics of the IP addresses attributed to the private network, excluding security characteristics of the IP addresses attributed to the public network.
