Abstract: A method and system, including a device having a processor and instructions stored on a non-transitory computer readable medium. In the system and method, data is identified and collected that is required to simulate a geographical area. The data is input into a simulation engine that runs a simulation of the geographical area. A scenario is identified to apply to the simulation, wherein the scenario is identified through employment on non-simulated data. The scenario is applied to the simulation by revising the data that is input to the simulation engine.

Abstract: A method to create a serial wire speed firewall that can monitor and enforce security policy on a CAN buy network and prevent cyber-attacks.

Abstract: Concepts and technologies are disclosed herein for decoupling hardware and software components of network security devices to provide security software as a service in a distributed computing environment. A computer system includes a processor that can execute computer-executable instructions to perform various operations. The processor can perform operations to provide security services to one or more customer platforms. The operations can include receiving a network security software component from a security service provider, and deploying the network security software component within a distributed computing environment so that the network security software component can be executed by a computing resource of the distributed computing environment to provide a security service to the customer platform(s). The network security software component includes a software component that has been decoupled from a hardware component of a network security device by the security service provider.

Abstract: A computer system and method provides cloud-based network security software as a service in a distributed computing environment. A computer system executing on a portion of hardware computing resources associated with the distributed computing environment receives a security service request from a customer platform device external to the distributed computing environment, the request identifying a customer platform asset within the distributed computing environment and instructing that a security service selected by the customer platform device be provided to the identified customer platform asset. In response to receiving the security service request, a network security software component associated with the selected security service on one or more virtual machines within the distributed computing environment is executed to provide the selected security service to the identified customer platform asset.

Abstract: Concepts and technologies are disclosed for an identity vault service. According to one aspect disclosed herein, an identity vault service system can collect self-attested and operator-attested user information. The operator-attested user information can be associated with a user and a mobile telecommunications service provided to the user by a mobile network operator. The system can create a trusted digital identity of the user based upon the self-attested and operator-attested user information. The system can receive an identity access request from a third party. The request can be for access to at least a portion of the trusted digital identity for use by the third party in performance of an act. The system can send a consent request to a user device and can receive a consent response that indicates whether the user permits access to at least the portion of the trusted digital identity of the user.
