  • Patent number: 9900339
    Abstract: An automated software vulnerability scanning and notification system and method provide an automated detection and notification regarding a software vulnerability. The operation of the system and the method includes obtaining software vulnerability information, periodically scanning a web application and a corresponding web server associated with an operator, and evaluating the periodic scans relative to the software vulnerability information to detect software vulnerabilities. Upon detection of a software vulnerability, a notification message is provided automatically to the operator regarding the software vulnerability.

  • Publication number: 20140259164
    Abstract: Disclosed are systems, apparatus, methods, and computer readable media for determining a confidentiality for a site record. In one embodiment, a site record for analysis is identified at a computing device. The computing device may identify a source for the site record and determine, based on the source, a source-based confidentiality for the site record. The computing device may identify, based on the site record, a designated confidentiality for the site record, and determine that the designated confidentiality is different from the source-based confidentiality. Responsive to the determination that the designated confidentiality is different from the source-based confidentiality, the computing device may store the source-based confidentiality for the site record on a storage medium.

  • Patent number: 8768964
    Abstract: Disclosed are systems, apparatus, methods, and computer readable media for analyzing computing site information. In one embodiment, an analysis tool for analyzing a first site record stored on a storage medium may be selected. The first site record comprising information may relate to a computing site. The computing site may comprise a unit of computing functionality accessible via a network. When it is determined that first confidentiality level for the computing site exceeds a trust level for the analysis tool, the first site record may be modified to create a second site record, the second site record having a second confidentiality level, the second confidentiality level not exceeding the trust level.

  • Patent number: 8516591
    Abstract: Disclosed are systems, apparatus, methods, and computer readable media for determining a combined trust level for a website. In one embodiment, a user account associated with the creation or maintenance of the website may be analyzed. The analysis of the user account may be capable of identifying the presence or absence of a first risk factor affecting a likelihood that the user account is engaged in a malicious activity. A source code file capable of being used to create a message for sending to a remote computing device may be analyzed. The analysis of the source code file may be capable of identifying the presence or absence of a second risk factor affecting a likelihood that the source code file is facilitating a malicious activity. Based on the analysis, a combined trust level for the website may be determined.
