  • Patent number: 11909754
    Abstract: A security assessment system is configured to provide a duplicated environment which duplicates an assessment target system comprising a plurality of physical components. The security assessment system includes a duplicated environment design circuitry and a duplicated environment construction circuitry. The duplicated environment design circuitry is configured to select a duplication level based on constraints specified by a user in order to design the duplicated environment to produce a designed result indicative of a duplicated environment design. The duplication level is indicative of any one of a simulation sub-module, an emulation sub-module, and a physical sub-module which are for reproducing the physical components of the assessment target system. The duplicated environment construction circuitry is configured to construct the duplicated environment based on the designed result. The duplicated environment includes components which are duplicated by one of the duplication level.

  • Patent number: 11783048
    Abstract: A security assessment system is configured to provide a duplicated environment which duplicates an assessment target system comprising a plurality of physical components. The security assessment system includes a duplicated environment design circuitry and a duplicated environment construction circuitry. The duplicated environment design circuitry is configured to select a duplication level based on constraints specified by a user and effects associated with the physical components in order to design the duplicated environment to produce a designed result indicative of a duplicated environment design. The duplication level is indicative of any one of a simulation sub-module, an emulation sub-module, and a physical sub-module which are for reproducing the physical components of the assessment target system. The duplicated environment construction circuitry is configured to construct the duplicated environment based on the designed result.

  • Publication number: 20230214496
    Abstract: The knowledge generation apparatus (2000) obtains a plural pieces of attack result information (100), which includes a configuration of an attack performed on the computer environment, a configuration of the computer environment attacked, and a result of the attack. By comparing the obtained attack result information (100), the knowledge generation apparatus (2000) detects environment conditions, which is regarding the configuration of the computer environment that are necessary for the success of the attack. The knowledge generation apparatus (2000) performs selection on the detected environment conditions based on a selection rule (200), and generates the knowledge information (300) that includes the selected environment conditions. The selection rule represents a rule for determining whether to include the environment condition in the knowledge information (300), with respect to a feature of a set of attacks that are affected by the environment condition.

  • Publication number: 20210243213
    Abstract: An information collection system includes: a side-channel information processing unit that derives load information to estimate an impact on the availability of a target machine for active scanning by using side-channel data; an allow list generation unit that generates an allow list including a scan timing and a scan range in which the availability is not affected, the allow list generation unit generating the allow list based on the load information; and an allow list storage unit that stores the allow list. An active scan of the target machine is executed by referencing the allow list stored in the allow list storage unit to collect asset information of the target machine.
