  • Patent number: 10044715
    Abstract: Methods and apparatus provide resource authorization based on a computer's presence information. Presence information may include information relating to a computer's operating environment. In some implementations, a presence detector on a computer determines presence information and provides the information to a resource manager. The computer may then generate a resource access request. A resource manager may then determine whether the resource request is authorized based, at least in part, on the presence information. The resource manager then responds to the resource access request, either granting or denying the request for resources.

  • Patent number: 8171544
    Abstract: A method and system for preventing, auditing and trending unauthorized traffic in a network system is provided. The unauthorized traffic is detected at the router level. An attacker transmits an attack vector to the network system. The attack vector is detected at the router and signatures are created for network system resources, wherein each signature represents the response of a network system resource to the attack vector. Signatures are created by learning how the attack is taking place within the network system. Network system resources corresponding to the signatures are then emulated, thereby protecting the network device.
