  • Patent number: 12284201
    Abstract: Systems and methods for proactively monitoring the inherent cyber-tech risk of software and hardware components are disclosed. In one embodiment, a method for proactively monitoring a cyber risk of a computer program may include: (1) receiving, by a product/version risk assessment computer program executed by an electronic device and from a user computer program executed by a use electronic device, an identification of a plurality of proposed components to include in the computer program; (2) retrieving, by the product/version risk assessment computer program, vulnerability information for each of the plurality of proposed components, wherein the vulnerability information identifies a security vulnerability for the proposed component; (3) generating, by a product/version risk scoring computer program, a risk score for the computer program under development based on the vulnerability information; and (4) returning, by the vulnerability assessment computer program, the risk score to the user computer program.

  • Publication number: 20240236137
    Abstract: In one example, a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium stores executable program instructions that detect, at a remote device node, vulnerability data associated with an exploitable vulnerability of a target enterprise network; retrieve, by a first local device node, the vulnerability data, which may include a CVSS score, determine, by a second local device node, a vulnerability score VT by determining a first subscore VT1, where the first subscore VT1 is based on a Maximized Confidentiality Impact (MCI) metric that is a modified privacy metric to capture the privacy impact of the exploitable vulnerability, where the first subscore VT1 is also based on a Maximized Highest Impact (MHI) metric to capture reputation damage based on an outsized single impact attribute, and on a Modified Confidentiality (MC) metric, Modified Integrity (MI) metric and Modified Availability (MA) as provided by CVSS; and remediate the exploitable vulnerability based on the vulnerability score VT.

  • Patent number: 5294243
    Abstract: The conventional operation of a cokeless cupola furnace has a requirement for a low volume of slag to be produced, because of the fact that there is no ash from coke to remove from the charge, and the fact that flux added to the charge to form slag eats away at the furnace lining, and at the bed of refractory spheres. Running the furnace at low slag volumes makes the slag thick and can cause blockage of the slagging and tapping box. The invention adds more flux materials than is conventional, preferably including silica in the form of broken bottles, so as to deliberately increase the volume of slag, improving the flow. Care must be taken not to add too much slag-forming materials.
