Abstract: 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.

Abstract: Among other things, information is obtained by computer about Internet-related assets of organizations. The information is used to identify relationships between the organizations with respect to the assets. The information about the identified relationships is made available for display or analysis or both.

Abstract: 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.

Abstract: 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.

Abstract: Among other things, information is acquired and stored that is indicative of security risks associated with security subjects and with entities to which the security subjects belong. The stored information is analyzed by computer to derive security indicators for the entities. With respect to entities selected by the users, security information is presented by computer to users. The security information includes security indicators for the entities and security information for security subjects. The security information for security subjects includes annotations provided by users. The annotations are managed by computer based on communications from the users.

Abstract: A system and method for monitoring a sequence of video packets for quantifying video quality includes a video picture monitor that accesses data in a header of a video packet included in the sequence of video packets. The header is separate from video content stored in the video packet. The video picture monitor also determines from the accessed data, a relationship between a portion of a picture included in the video packet and at least a portion of a picture included in another video packet. Both video packets are included in the sequence of video packets. This relationship indicates whether to use the video content stored in the first video packet to quantify video quality.
