  • Publication number: 20230291564
    Abstract: Systems and methods include a computer-implemented method for verifying blockchain transaction. A request is received in a blockchain for a user to use an application. A three-blockchain cluster verification process is performed in response to receiving the request. Verification that the application is authorized is performed using a nodes blockchain cluster in the blockchain based on user-application data pre-verified by at least two administrators and stored in the nodes blockchain cluster. Verification that the user exists and is authorized is performed using a users/objects blockchain cluster in the blockchain different from the nodes blockchain cluster, where the verifying is based on the user-application data pre-verified by the at least two administrators and stored in the users/objects blockchain cluster.

  • Patent number: 11451575
    Abstract: A method may include obtaining first cybersecurity data using a hardware probe disposed within a network. The first cybersecurity data may correspond to an analysis of the hardware probe regarding network data that is transmitted through the network. The method may further include obtaining second cybersecurity data using a software probe operating on a network element within the network. The second cybersecurity data may correspond to an analysis of the software probe regarding one or more configuration settings of the network element. The method may further include determining a cybersecurity maturity score using the first cybersecurity data and the second cybersecurity data. The cybersecurity maturity score may be based on a maturity model. The method may further include transmitting, based on the cybersecurity maturity score, a remediation command that adjusts a configuration setting of the network.

  • Patent number: 11120692
    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for preventing damage to underground assets caused by earth work or construction equipment and vehicles. The system includes a central data system, which has access to asset location and map data, and a GPS enabled tracking device provided in the vehicle. The system operates by comparing the real-time vehicle location to the stored asset locations, displaying the map, asset information and vehicle location to the vehicle operator and generating alerts when the vehicle breaches a perimeter around an asset. Preferably, both the central data system and the tracking unit are configured to operate together and in parallel, thereby improving the reliability of the system. In addition, the system is also specifically configured to implement various approaches for using and displaying asset location data during monitoring operations while preserving the confidentiality and security of sensitive information.
