  • Patent number: 11902126
    Abstract: An intrusion detection method for detecting an intrusion in data traffic on a data communication network parses the data traffic to extract at least one protocol field of a protocol message of the data traffic, and associates the extracted protocol field with a model for that protocol field. The model is selected from a set of models. An assessment is made to determine if a contents of the extracted protocol field is in a safe region as defined by the model, and an intrusion detection signal is generated in case it is established that the contents of the extracted protocol field is outside the safe region. The set of models may comprise a corresponding model for each protocol field of a set of protocol fields.

  • Publication number: 20220272118
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and related technologies for determining a comprehensive risk score or value are described. The risk score determination may include selecting an entity communicatively coupled to a network and determining a cyber-attack likelihood value and a cyber-attack impact value associated with the entity. A cyber-attack risk may then be determined based on the cyber-attack likelihood value and a cyber-attack impact value associated with the entity. An operational failure likelihood value and an operational failure impact value associated with the entity can be determined. An operational failure risk based on the operational failure likelihood value and the operational failure impact value associated with the entity can be determined. A risk value may then be determined for the entity based on the cyber-attack risk and the operational failure risk and the risk value for the entity can be stored.

  • Publication number: 20140090054
    Abstract: A system and method are described herein for detecting an anomaly in an electronic document. In a computer system, a detection engine is attached to an application program which processes the electronic document. Function calls to a service provided through an application program interface (API) are intercepted by the detection engine as the application program processes the electronic document. If an entry for the intercepted function call is not present in the detection model, or an entry is present but the argument value does not match the argument value in the detection model, an alert is raised. The detection model is populated by processing a plurality of known good documents, populating the detection model with entries on intercepted good function calls and their argument values. A threshold may be applied to the detection model, removing from the detection model function calls which were observed less than the threshold amount.
