  • Patent number: 11159558
    Abstract: A query is received from a particular endpoint device identifying a particular wireless access point encountered by the particular endpoint device. Pre-existing risk assessment data is identified for the identified particular wireless access point and query result data is sent to the particular endpoint device characterizing pre-assessed risk associated with the particular wireless access point. In some instances, the query result data is generated based on the pre-existing risk assessment data. In some instances, pre-existing risk assessment data can be the result of an earlier risk assessment carried-out at least in part by an endpoint device interfacing with and testing the particular wireless access point.

  • Patent number: 8949993
    Abstract: At least one available wireless access point is identified at a particular location and a connection is established with the available wireless access point. Communication is attempted with a trusted endpoint over the wireless access point and the attempted communication with the trusted endpoint over the wireless access point is monitored to assess risk associated with the wireless access point. Results of the assessment, in some instances, can be reported to an access point risk manager and risk associated with future attempts to use the wireless access point can be assessed based at least in part on the reported assessment results.

  • Patent number: 8776252
    Abstract: A system, method, and computer program product are provided for securing data on a server based on a heuristic analysis. In use, information associated with attempts to access data on a server is recorded. Additionally, the information is heuristically analyzed. Further, the data is secured on the server based on the heuristic analysis.

  • Patent number: 8645478
    Abstract: A method in one example implementation includes providing a memory component with one or more alternative email entries associated with a plurality of name records. The name records represent one or more authorized users of a network. The method further includes determining whether any of the one or more alternative email entries corresponds to a sender email address in an incoming email message, where the incoming email message is being sent from the sender email address to at least one official email address associated with the network. In more specific embodiments the method includes tagging the incoming email message with a first or second flag depending on whether any of the one or more alternative email entries corresponds to the sender email address and whether a username of the sender email address includes an identifiable portion of one of the plurality of name records.
