  • Patent number: 11444970
    Abstract: A website vulnerability test is performed by automatically checking that a website has not been compromised by malicious third party scripts. A system can test a dynamic behavior of a website that indicates a functional user flow through the website. Instead of merely analyzing static code of a website, the system automatically tests the website in their runtime environments for the presence of malicious third party scripts.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 10915638
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method includes retrieving, by a server, application data about the one or more software applications via one or more databases. The server retrieves security data for the one or more software applications via the one or more databases. The server calculates a plurality of categorical scores for each of the one or more software applications based on the security data. The server calculates an overall security score for each of the one or more software applications based on the plurality of categorical scores as calculated. The server instructs the plurality of categorical scores and the overall security score for each of the one or more software applications to be stored in an application database. The server outputs to a user device the plurality of categorical scores and the overall security score for each of the one or more software applications in the application database.

  • Publication number: 20030182174
    Abstract: An apparatus and method to enable a business to evaluate technologies to determine whether it is worthwhile for that business to acquire it, and by which means. A universe of technologies is identified, and then reduced to a smaller number that have attracted a great deal of recent interest in trade journals and other pertinent media. A group of evaluators then scores each of these technologies using a selection tool to create a smaller still working pool of technologies for further study. The technologies in the working pool are then studied for their usability and appropriability to the business. These scores are plotted on a matrix, which provides a graphical summary of the best approach for that business to acquire the technology.
