  • Patent number: 11816161
    Abstract: In a search and database system, a graph generator builds a graph, comprising nodes and edges, and stores that graph in a database or other data structure and uses a repeated extending and culling process to build the graph. From that storage, the graph can be used to generate displays for users interested in learning about the graph and/or for performing queries and the like on that graph data.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 11743194
    Abstract: A system is provided for delivering network services. The system receives an inventory of network assets and a scope of available network services. For each asset of at least a subset of the assets, the system selects importance-related ranking attributes and scannability-related ranking attributes from the available service characteristics of the asset. Based on the importance-related ranking attributes, the system determines an importance of the asset. Based on the scannability-related ranking attributes or the or a scope of available network services, the system determines a scannability of the asset. Based on the importance and scannability of the asset, the system determines a priority of the asset. Based on the priorities of the assets, the system determines a prioritized asset inventory.

  • Publication number: 20230094208
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method provides for vulnerability ranking and scoring assets based on remediation action measurements and asset value and risk measurements. A method might comprise obtaining information about a set of assets, obtaining information about environments of assets in the set of assets, determining asset valuation factors for the assets, computing remediation costs for vulnerabilities of the assets, determining returns on investment for remediating the vulnerabilities of the assets, and scoring assets based on remediation action returns on investment.
