  • Patent number: 10979297
    Abstract: Disclosed are various embodiments for a network identification device and its integration with other applications. The network identification device can include a number of components, such as a first network interface, a second network interface, a processor, and a memory. A profile that represents a computing device communicatively coupled to the first network interface may be stored in the memory. Machine readable instructions may also be stored in the memory. When executed by the processor, the machine readable instructions may cause the network identification device to process a request for the profile received from a second computing device via the second network interface. The machine readable instructions may also cause the network identification device to send the profile to the second computing device via the second network interface.

  • Patent number: 9680857
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable and executable instructions are provided for providing a cyber intelligence clearinghouse (CIC). Providing a CIC can include generating analysis data from intelligence information collected from a number of sources. In addition, providing a CIC can include calculating a number of fidelity scores from the analysis data, wherein the number of fidelity scores represent a trustworthiness of the number of sources. In addition, providing a CIC can include determining a number of events to block based on the number of fidelity scores. Furthermore, providing a CIC can include providing feedback data to the number of sources based on the number of fidelity scores and the number of events to block.
