  • Patent number: 10178593
    Abstract: A computer device may include a memory configured to store instructions and a processor configured to execute the instructions to determine a service requirement for a client device connected to a WiFi access point in a customer premises network that includes a plurality of WiFi access points. The processor may be further configured to monitor a service requirement parameter, associated with the determined service requirement, for the client device; detect that the service requirement parameter is within a threshold of the determined service requirement; and perform a self-organizing network (SON) action on the customer premises network, in response to detecting that the service requirement parameter is within the threshold of the determined service requirement.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: February 15, 2017
    Date of Patent: January 8, 2019
    Assignee: Verizon Patent and Licensing Inc.
    Inventors: Michael Talbert, Meaghan Leong, Christina Fyock, Daniel J. O'Callaghan, Edward J. Norris, William E. Garrett, Jr., Roland W. Hicks, Jr.

  • Patent number: 8266701
    Abstract: A method and system are disclosed for assessing cyber-based risks in an enterprise organization. A database comprising vulnerability data associated with computers in an enterprise is combined with a second database comprising data of users of computers in an enterprise, along with a third database base indicating the relationship of the users in an organization structure in the enterprise. From the synthesis of data in these separate databases, text based reports detailing aggregate computer vulnerabilities can be produced on a computer, as well as organizational charts depicting the relationship between selected individuals and their computer vulnerabilities. Using such reports, individuals charged with cyber-security can assess organizational cyber risks and allocate resources as appropriate.
