Patent number: 11997100Abstract: A computing system and a method performed by the computing system are presented. The system may provide a cybersecurity analysis platform, and the method may include outputting a plurality of content access options for selection by a user or group of users of the platform, wherein the content access options are associated with different amounts of content access to a cybersecurity intelligence content source. The method may further involve receiving a selection of one of the content access options, and updating, based on the selection, a profile that indicates an amount of content access allocated to the user or group of users. The method may involve receiving a content request from the user or group of users for cybersecurity intelligence content, and responding to the content requested based on whether the allocated amount of content access has been completely depleted.Type: GrantFiled: July 14, 2021Date of Patent: May 28, 2024Assignee: AVALON CYBER CORPORATIONInventors: John Cassidy, Peter Prizio, Jr., Matthew Walnock, Melissa K.

Patent number: 10581913Abstract: A method for detecting spoofing by wireless access devices. In some embodiments, spoofing can be detected based on locations for a wireless access device having an identifier at first and second times. The locations are compared to determine whether the wireless access device could access the particular network at the locations in the time period between the first and second times. In several embodiments, spoofing can be detected by tracking the activity of wireless access devices and identifying events that that are prohibited by one or more policy elements of the particular network.Type: GrantFiled: June 10, 2019Date of Patent: March 3, 2020Assignee: Ozmo Licensing LLCInventors: Elaine Harvey, Matthew Walnock

Publication number: 20150334131Abstract: A wireless access device in a wireless network, whether a known or unknown entity, can be located using a geolocation system according to the present invention. A signal strength is determined by a wireless intrusion detection system (WIDS) node in a wireless network for each wireless access device that it detects. Based on the signal strength, an approximate distance from the node is determined, which, in one embodiment corresponds to a radius of a circle around the node. To account for error, an approximation band of the circle is calculated that will allow a user to determine the approximate location of the device within the wireless network.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 21, 2015Publication date: November 19, 2015Inventors: Elaine Harvey, Matthew Walnock

Patent number: 8661542Abstract: Characteristics about one or more wireless access devices in a wireless network, whether known or unknown entities, can be determined using a system and method according to the present invention. An observation is made of the activity over a Wireless Area Network (WLAN). Based on this activity, changes in state of wireless access devices within the WLAN can be observed and monitored. These changes in state could be indicative of normal operation of the WLAN, or they may indicate the presence of an unauthorized user. In the latter case, an alert can be sent so that appropriate action may be taken. Additionally, ad hoc networks can be detected that may be connected to a wireless access point.Type: GrantFiled: November 8, 2011Date of Patent: February 25, 2014Assignee: Tekla Pehr LLCInventors: Elaine Harvey, Matthew Walnock
