  • Patent number: 9680858
    Abstract: Among other things, information is acquired and stored that is indicative of security risks associated with security subjects and with entities to which the security subjects belong. The stored information is analyzed by computer to derive security indicators for the entities. With respect to entities selected by the users, security information is presented by computer to users. The security information includes security indicators for the entities and security information for security subjects. The security information for security subjects includes annotations provided by users. The annotations are managed by computer based on communications from the users.

  • Publication number: 20170093901
    Abstract: Among other things, traces are received of activities of an online user who is associated with an entity. By analysis of the traces a security state of the entity is inferred. Also, a map is generated between (a) technical assets that contribute to security characteristics of respective entities and (b) the identities of the entities that are associated with the respective technical assets. At least part of the generating of the map is done automatically. A user can be engaged to assist in the generating of the map by presenting to the user through a user interface (a) data about the technical assets of entities and (b) an interactive tool for associating the technical assets with the identities of the entities.

  • Publication number: 20160323308
    Abstract: A method and system for creating a composite security rating from security characterization data of a third party computer system. The security characterization data is derived from externally observable characteristics of the third party computer system. Advantageously, the composite security score has a relatively high likelihood of corresponding to an internal audit score despite use of externally observable security characteristics. Also, the method and system may include use of multiple security characterizations all solely derived from externally observable characteristics of the third party computer system.

  • Patent number: 7899827
    Abstract: Disclosed is a method, a computer program product and a system for processing documents that contain chemical names. The system has a unit to partition document text and to assign semantic meaning to words; a unit to recognize any substructures present in the chemical name fragments; and a unit to determine structural connectivity information of the chemical name fragments and recognized substructures and to store the determined structural connectivity information in a searchable index. The system further includes a unit to search a text index using at least one of a fragment name and a substructure name and to search the structure index by at least one of fragment connectivity and substructure connectivity. At an intersection of the search results from the structure index and the text index, the system operates to identify at least one document that contains a reference to a corresponding chemical compound.
