Abstract: The system and method described herein relates to managing multiple network device connections, collecting event source data from one or more network devices with one or more collectors, filtering the event source data, continuously monitoring the network device connections, controlling raw data collection from the one or more network devices, parsing the event source data into normalized data structures, and managing configurations for the collectors, among other things. Event sources may be physical or logical network devices distributed across a network, including but not limited to, firewalls, routers, biometric devices, mainframes, databases, and applications. The network devices may be sources from which the collectors may receive or request the event source data.

Abstract: A computer-implemented device provides security events from publishers to subscribers. There is provided a message bus, configured to contain a plurality of security events. Also provided is a receiver unit, responsive to a plurality of publishers, to receive the plurality of security events from the publishers. There is also a queue unit, responsive to receipt of the security events, to queue the plurality of security events in the message bus. Also, there is a transport unit, responsive to the security events in the message bus, to transport the plurality of security events in the message bus to a plurality of subscribers.

Abstract: A system and method for analyzing events from devices relating to network security, includes a device interface(s), for receiving events from devices. One or more processors, responsive to the event received pursuant to the device interfaces, evaluate the event in accordance with rules, wherein the rules define, inter alia, an operation the system is to take to evaluate the event and an action to be taken under specified conditions. Also, the processor can determine, responsive to the received event, whether the event is of interest, and if not, discarding the event. The processor can provide a correlation corresponding to the at least one event, for the rules.

Abstract: A system for pluggable event correlation may include an input manager that receives a plurality of events and converts the events into a format compatible with one or more of a plurality of correlation engines. The correlation engines may then evaluate the converted events using various rules and generate correlated events when the evaluated events trigger at least one of the rules. An action manager may execute remedial actions when the correlation engines generate the correlated events. Moreover, extensibility may be provided by enabling a user to define rules to be triggered when events occur in a predetermined pattern, and actions to be executed when a predetermined rule triggers a correlated event. Further, to plug a new correlation engine into the system, adapters may be deployed to handle input and output, while the user-defined rules may be validating according to semantic requirements of the new correlation engine.

Abstract: A system and method that relates to managing multiple network device connections and/or collectors for collecting event source data from one or more network devices, filtering event source data, continuously monitoring connection status to the one or more network devices, controlling raw data collection from the one or more network devices, parsing event source data into normalized data structures, and/or managing collector configurations, among other things. Event sources may be network devices (physical or logical) across a network, including but not limited to, firewalls, routers, biometric devices, mainframes, databases and/or applications. A network device may be a source from which a collector may receive and/or request event data.

Abstract: The invention relates to a system and method for customizing and storing workflow processes for use in remediation incidents such as security events. One aspect of the invention relates to providing tools to enable creation of customized workflow processes for event driven incident remediation, monitoring and analyzing system activity to identify occurrence of incidents, assigning a workflow process to an incident, applying the assigned workflow process to remediate the incident, and tracking and graphically displaying the status of the workflow process, among other things.

Abstract: A computer-implemented or computer-enabled method and system is provided for working with streaming media, such as digital video clips and entire videos. Clips can be grouped together and snippets of video can be re-ordered into a rough cut assemblage of a video storyboard. Later, the video storyboard and the final video scene may be fine-tuned. The invention is not limited to digital video, and may also be used with other digital assets, including for example audio, animation, logos, text, etc.
