Abstract: An automated sandbox generator for a cyber-attack exercise on a mimic network in a cloud environment can include various components. The cloud deployment component deploys the mimic network in a sandbox environment in the cloud environment. The mimic network can be a clone of components from a network that exists in an organization's environment and/or, predefined example components. The attack engine deploys a cyber threat to use an exploit for the wargaming cyber-attack exercise in the mimic network. The user interface displays, in real time, results of the wargaming cyber-attack exercise being conducted in the sandbox environment, to create a behavioral profile of how the cyber threat using the exploit would actually perform in that particular organization's environment as well as have human users interact with the cyber threat deployed by the attack engine during the cyber-attack on the mimic network, as it happens in real time, during the wargaming cyber-attack exercise.

Abstract: Aspects of the invention relate to a cyber security system that may enable an end user to communicate with a cyber security appliance to identify cyber threats across the client system. The system can include one or more host devices each having a user interface and an endpoint agent for facilitating bi-directional communication between the user and a cyber security appliance. The endpoint agent may include a communication facilitation module including a user interaction module configured to communicate with the user interface and a helper module configured to communicate with the cyber security appliance. The endpoint agent is configured to enable the bi-directional communication between the user interface and the cyber security appliance on receiving a query associated with identified unusual behavior.

Abstract: A cyber threat defense system can incorporate data from multiple Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) applications hosted by multiple third-party platforms to identify cyber threats across platforms. The system can collect third-party event data describing an administrative event of a SaaS application hosted by an associated third-party platform. The system can identify a user associated with the third-party event data based on a composite user profile constructed from user context data collected across the multiple SaaS applications to identify the user across multiple third-party platforms. The system can associate the user with a user risk profile based on the composite user profile. The system can identify whether the third-party event data corresponds to a cyber threat partially based on the user risk profile. The system can execute an autonomous response in response to the cyber threat using an autonomous response module factoring in the user risk profile.

Abstract: In the use of devices and methods for measuring applied pressure on an article, such as a patella construct during a surgical procedure, a clamp is provided with arms, an optional external spring, an optional internal spring and a torque knob for applying constant and measurable pressure to the article. Embodiments of the clamp include a spring rod engaged with the torque knob for assisting in applying and retaining desired pressure. Spike elements and a bushing insert are secured to the ends of the arms for retaining the article in place during use. The elements are advantageously assembled and disassembled to facilitate thorough and quick cleaning.

Abstract: An antenna arrangement can produce omni-directional polarisations of two or more types and comprises a compact arrangement of a dipole with array comprising first and second conductors in parallel planes separated by a printed circuit board and laid on the printed circuit board for generating horizontally polarised signals. A monopole arrangement comprises a third conductor substantially orthogonal to the planes of the first and second conductors and arranged so that one of the first and second conductors acts as a ground plane for the third conductor.

Abstract: Disclosed is an improved reel assembly for use in conjunction with an occupant restraint system. The assembly employs a dual locking arrangement whereby an occupant can be restrained during both major and minor incidents. After a major incident, the reel assembly remains locked until the occupant disengages the reel via a push button. After a minor incident, the reel assembly can be conveniently unlocked, without the need for accessing the push button, by applying counter tension to the webbing.

Abstract: A security framework for a host computer system which allows a host to control access to a compliant security token by ensuring enforcement of established security policies administered by a middleware application. Processing between the host computer system and the security token is performed using one or more modular security application agents. The modular security application agents are counterpart applications to security applications installed in the security token and may be retrieved and installed upon to ensure compatibility between counterpart token and host security applications. The security policies are a composite of host security policies and token security policies which are logically combined by the middleware application at the beginning of a session.

Abstract: Providing remote user access to secure financial applications includes deployment of SSO software to client workstations by receiving a password for collaborating access to a secure server, navigating to the secure server using a web browser on a remote workstation, providing user authorization details and the received password to the secure server, generating a subsequent password at the secure server upon validation of the user authorization details and received password, and downloading an SSO deployment file to the remote workstation. The deployment file includes a subsequent password. The SSO deployment file is executed to install an SSO client application on the remote workstation. Workstation settings and user credentials are read from a secure file or data store. The SSO client application is run on the workstation to employ the user credentials and subsequent password to logon to the secure application.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for authenticating a user In dependence upon biometric Input information is disclosed. According to the method when a user is identified, their biometric information or data derived therefrom is automatically stored. The data is then used in subsequent user identification attempts as a template. The original templates are not replaced but those templates that are automatically stored are replaced at intervals.
