  • Patent number: 11308220
    Abstract: A method, apparatus, and system for managing information technology services. A current security assurance level for an information technology service related to security in an organization is determined based on assessment information about security factors for the information technology service and performance information about a group of current security controls for the information technology service. A target security assurance level for the information technology service is determined based on a criticality of the information technology service. A graphical representation of a difference between the current security assurance level and the target security assurance level on a display system is displayed.

  • Patent number: 8612581
    Abstract: A system and method for monitoring a network data processing system on a mobile platform. Current traffic in the network data processing system may be monitored by a processor unit while the mobile platform is moving. The current traffic is compared by the processor unit with a baseline of traffic in the network processing system to form a comparison. A determination is made as to whether an undesired event has occurred in the traffic based on the comparison. An action may be initiated responsive to a determination that an undesired event has occurred.
