The problem can be solved by an immunoassay method for free AIM in a biological sample using an anti-AIM monoclonal antibody having a property of reacting with free AIM and not reacting with complex AIM, wherein the anti-AIM monoclonal antibody is an antibody binding to an epitope in the SRCR2 domain of human AIM.

Abstract: In an SNS server (103) corresponding to a false submission filter device, an event specifying unit (604) analyzes contents of a submission informing of an occurrence of an event and specifies a location (721) of occurrence of the event. A query destination specifying unit (605) searches a query destination database (613) and specifies a query destination corresponding to the location (721) specified by the event specifying unit (604). A query unit (606) transmits a request for checking the presence or absence of occurrence of the event from the observation result of one or more machines to the query destination specified by the query destination specifying unit (605). The query unit (606) receives a response to the request. A result reflecting unit (607) determines whether the contents of the submission are true or false from a check result indicated by the response received by the query unit (606).

Abstract: A system dividing unit (110) divides a target system into a plurality of sub-systems. A root system selection unit (122) selects a sub-system in which a threat on security occurs, as a root system from among the plurality of sub-systems. A root tree generation unit (131) generates an attack tree of the root system, as a root tree. A descendant system selection unit (132) selects one sub-system or more located on an intrusion course to the root system, as one descendent system or more from among the plurality of sub-systems. A descendant tree generation unit (133) generates one attack tree or more corresponding to the one descendent system or more, as one descendent tree or more. A sub-attack tree integration unit (140) integrates the root tree and the one descendent tree or more, to thereby generate an attack tree of the target system.

A learning unit (109) learns a meaning of an individual word in each of the system specification document (117) and the analysis object document (116), wherein the individual word belongs to the group of words selected by the selection unit (108).

Abstract: A measure point extracting unit (203) extracts, from attack route information in which a threat and a plurality of attack routes each including one or more attack actions and being procedures for generating the threat are described, a plurality of combinations of attack actions to be addressed in order to inhibit generation of the threat. An objective-function deriving unit (204) acquires one or more measure candidates and an usability level of each of the measure candidates, for each of the attack actions included in the plurality of combinations of attack actions.

Abstract: A second communication unit (411) of a security management apparatus (201) externally receives dependency information (412) indicating a dependence relation between information assets individually held by a first system and a second system. Then, a selection unit (415) of the security management apparatus (201) selects a security measure to be implemented, from among candidates for a security measure against a threat to an information asset held by the first system, in accordance with a dependence relation indicated by the dependency information (412) received by the second communication unit (411).

Abstract: A storage apparatus includes a flash memory that includes multiple blocks; and a control portion that reads data written in the block and writes the data into the block. The flash memory includes one block set having n pieces of the blocks including BR1 to BRn. A write data and a write flag are capable of being written into each of blocks BRi, the write data being written in accordance with a request, the write flag indicating that the write data has been written into a target block BRj. In accordance with a write request, the control portion performs an erasure process, a first write process, and a second write process. The erasure process erases the data including the write data and the write flag. The first write process writes the new write data into the block BRl. The second write process writes the write flag into a block BRm.
