  • Publication number: 20240419809
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides for systems and methods for assessing security in a computing environment. The system may comprise two or more attacks simultaneously. The system may comprise one or more attack simulations wherein the results are displayed in substantially real time. The system may comprise one or more performance indicators. The performance indicators may provide insight into what attacks are blocked, detected, logged, or alerted. The system may comprise one or more prioritized recommendations for security solutions, which may comprise one or more tool recommendations. The attack path may comprise an aggregation of one or more attack techniques. The system may comprise one or more endpoint solutions or recommendations. The system may integrate as a third-party software into an existing company or security infrastructure. The system may comprise at least one security validation test configured to target at least one security infrastructure of a scoped computing environment.

  • Patent number: 12143504
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides generally for systems and methods of authenticating one or more aspects of electronic communication. According to the present disclosure, authenticable communications may allow for authentication of at least a portion of the content of the electronic communication, which may limit potential damage caused by fraudulent communications. In some aspects, an authenticable communication may allow a recipient to confirm that the indicated source is the actual source of the authenticable communication. In some embodiments, the authentication may not require an exchange of encrypted communications or an exchange of communications solely within the same communication system. Authenticable communications may provide a separate layer of security that may allow a recipient to review the contents with confidence that the communication is not fraudulent. Further, authenticable communications may provide the additional security without requiring specialized software.

  • Patent number: 11539531
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to security risk warning system that a recipient may acknowledge and act accordingly. Security insights may be provided explicitly in a security insight panel that may clearly identify vulnerabilities specific to a particular authenticable communication. This may limit risk that a recipient would ignore or not understand the risk. Security insights may be provided for a combination of indicated source, recipients, and content, such as links, text, attachments, and images. Security insights may be provided on site, such as on or proximate to the reviewed portions of the authenticable communication.
