Abstract: An approach for providing managed security services is disclosed. A database, within a server or a pre-existing anomalous event detection system, stores a rule set specifying a security policy for a network associated with a customer. An anomalous detection event module is deployed within a premise of the customer and retrieves rule sets from the database. The anomalous detection event module monitors a sub-network of the network based on the rule sets. The anomalous event detection module is further configured to self-organize by examining components of the network and to monitor for anomalous events according to the examined components, and to self-provision by selectively creating another instance of the anomalous detection event module to monitor another sub-network of the network.

Abstract: A device includes a memory and a processor. The processor may be configured to receive a gaming package. The gaming package may include an operating system, a script for detecting a hardware configuration of the device, software for accessing a network, and peering software. The processor may be further configured to establish a peer-to-peer gaming session with another device over the network.

Abstract: A system for malicious code detection includes a front-end processor, multiple scanning computer systems, and a detection management system. During operation, the multiple scanning computer systems scan content for malicious code and generate an alarm when the content contains malicious code. The front-end processor receives a flow of content from an external network and distributes copies of the flow to each of the multiple scanning computer systems in parallel for scanning. The detection management system employs a countermeasure on the flow if at least one of the scanning computer systems generates the alarm.

Abstract: A LAN/WAN network topology and design methodology using Internet Protocol (IP) subnet topology, ATM WAN configuration, equipment placement, and device configuration to provide partitioning of a call processing application across multiple sites. The partitioning reduces latency for mission critical messages, while providing for necessary provisioning traffic needs. Further, the overall topology provides the redundancy and resiliency necessary for mission critical call processing application, utilizing the IP subnets, ATM permanent virtual circuits, network device configuration, and server segregation to achieve Quality of Service (QoS).
