Patents by Inventor Lilian Mathias Ngweta

Lilian Mathias Ngweta has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 11924239
    Abstract: Systems, computer-implemented methods, and computer program products that facilitate vulnerability and attack technique association are provided. According to an embodiment, a system can comprise a memory that stores computer executable components and a processor that executes the computer executable components stored in the memory. The computer executable components can comprise a map component that defines mappings between vulnerability data representing a vulnerability of a computing resource and attack data representing at least one attack technique. The computer executable components can further comprise an estimation component that analyzes the mappings to estimate a probability that the vulnerability will be exploited to attack the computing resource.

  • Publication number: 20230177169
    Abstract: An apparatus, a method, and a computer program product are provided that combine policy compliance with vulnerability management to provide a more accurate risk assessment of an environment. The method includes training a policy machine learning model using a first training dataset to generate a policy machine learning model to produce mitigation technique classifications and training a vulnerability machine learning model using a second training dataset to generate a vulnerability machine learning model to produce weakness type classifications. The method also includes mapping the mitigation technique classifications to attack techniques to produce a policy mapping and mapping the weakness type classifications to the attack techniques to produce a vulnerability mapping. The method further includes producing a risk assessment of a vulnerability based on the policy mapping and the vulnerability mapping.
