Patent number: 9749350Abstract: A method and system. All Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) and User Datagram Protocol (UDP) ports on a gateway computer at a network perimeter of a network are scanned to determine whether an unauthorized application outside the network perimeter and/or at least one unauthorized service from the unauthorized application is available within the network perimeter via the gateway computer. Penetration tests are executed on the gateway computer to attempt to exploit a vulnerability of the gateway computer as revealed by scanning the ports on the gateway computer. A first component associated with a first respective connection to the network is identified. It is determined that the first component complies with a corresponding industry benchmark for security. A second component associated with a second respective connection to the network is identified. It is determined that the second component complies with a corresponding security policy of a company associated with the network.Type: GrantFiled: October 10, 2016Date of Patent: August 29, 2017Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: W.
