  • Patent number: 10469515
    Abstract: Apparatus and methods described herein relate to a global workspace management compute device that can generate a workspace hierarchy tree representing a hierarchy of a set of workspaces in a network. A local workspace management compute device operatively coupled to the global workspace management compute device can, when operative, calculate workspace cyber-threat data for a local workspace in the set of workspaces based on data from a global workspace, and can provide the calculated workspace cyber-threat data to a local workspace interface so that the local workspace interface displays a representation of the set of workspaces in the network. After receiving modifications of portions of the local workspace cyber-threat data, the local workspace management compute device can define a child node of the local workspace based on the modifications. The local workspace interface can modify the representation of the set of workspaces in the network based on the child node.

  • Patent number: 10033754
    Abstract: The cyber threat monitor and control apparatuses, methods and systems (hereinafter “CTMC”) determines risk across a global Internet network graph model for various virtual or physical network elements. In one embodiment, the CTMC defines a factor mechanism representing interactions among the set of network elements, the factor mechanism including a factor indicative of a correlation between a pair of network elements from the set of network elements, and dynamically calculate the probabilistic network security measure for each network element in the global Internet graph model based at least in part on the factor mechanism and any observed threat indicators related to the global Internet graph model.

  • Patent number: 9930059
    Abstract: Apparatus and methods described herein relate to a global workspace manager that can dynamically update historical cyber-threat data for a network. The global workspace manager can receive cyber-threat event data including a time of a cyber-threat event. The global workspace manager can identify a workspace node in a workspace graph associated with the cyber-threat event data, and can identify a threat score interval including a set of times that includes the time of the cyber-threat event. The global workspace manager can retrieve, from the workspace node, a threat score calculation function associated with the threat score interval, and can calculate a threat score for the workspace node during the threat score interval using the threat score calculation function and the cyber-threat event data.
