Patent number: 11882146Abstract: A method and system for creating a composite security rating from security characterization data of a third party computer system. The security characterization data is derived from externally observable characteristics of the third party computer system. Advantageously, the composite security score has a relatively high likelihood of corresponding to an internal audit score despite use of externally observable security characteristics. Also, the method and system may include use of multiple security characterizations all solely derived from externally observable characteristics of the third party computer system.Type: GrantFiled: September 5, 2023Date of Patent: January 23, 2024Assignee: BitSight Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Stephen Wayne Boyer, Nagarjuna Venna, Megumi Ando

Publication number: 20230247041Abstract: Among other things, traces are received of activities of an online user who is associated with an entity. By analysis of the traces a security state of the entity is inferred. Also, a map is generated between (a) technical assets that contribute to security characteristics of respective entities and (b) the identities of the entities that are associated with the respective technical assets. At least part of the generating of the map is done automatically. A user can be engaged to assist in the generating of the map by presenting to the user through a user interface (a) data about the technical assets of entities and (b) an interactive tool for associating the technical assets with the identities of the entities.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 10, 2023Publication date: August 3, 2023Inventors: Philip John Steuart Gladstone, Alan Joseph Kirby, John Matthew Truelove, David Feinzeig, Nagarjuna Venna, Stephen Boyer

Patent number: 11627109Abstract: A computer-implemented method is provided for mapping IP addresses and domain names to organizations. The method includes receiving, by a mapping system from an data provider, a dataset related to a plurality of users of the data provider. The dataset includes (a) an IP address for a user device of each user of the plurality of users, and (b) a domain name for a user account of each user of the plurality of users; enriching, by an analytics engine of the mapping system, the received dataset with enrichment data from an enrichment source; receiving, by the analytics engine from a storage medium, historical data relevant to the enriched dataset; and mapping, by the analytics engine, (i) the IP address and/or (ii) the domain name of each user of a portion of the plurality of users to an organization based on the enriched dataset and the historical data.Type: GrantFiled: January 11, 2021Date of Patent: April 11, 2023Assignee: BitSight Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Daniel Dahlberg, Stephen Boyer, Nagarjuna Venna, Philip John Steuart Gladstone
