  • Patent number: 9015663
    Abstract: An objective of the disclosed invention is to derive a more apt similarity by taking into account all components up to and including lower order components that are included in a model. The disclosed invention also allows carrying out more efficient information system building. An information processing device (1000) includes a model storage unit (10), a component correspondence determination unit (20), and a similarity computation unit (30). The model storage unit (10) there among stores a system model that includes at least one component. The component correspondence determination unit (20) determines a correspondence relationship between components included in two system models (A, B) that are read out from the model storage unit (10), on the basis of commonality of lower order components included in the components.

  • Publication number: 20110265184
    Abstract: A security monitoring method is disclosed for acquiring plural items of observation information representative of a security state of a device, and for judging whether or not the device is secure through a policy based on the plural items of observation information. Transmission information that is defined as information representative of relevant observation information is retained. It is determined whether or not security judgment is possible through said transmission information alone in place of the plural items observation information. When it is possible, the transmission information in place of all or part of said plurality items of observation information is transmitted.
