A method and apparatus is disclosed for improving the security of computer networks by providing a means operating passively on the network for detecting, reporting and responding to intruders. The system is comprised of a plurality of intruder sensor client computers and associated event correlation engines. Resident in the memory of the client computer and operating in the background is a Tactical Internet Device Protection (TIDP) component consisting of a passive intruder detector and a security Management Information Base (MIB). The passive intruder detector component of the TIDP passively monitors operations performed on the client computer and emits a Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) trap to an event correlation engine when it identifies a suspected intruder. The event correlation engine, through the use of a behavior model loaded in its memory, determines whether the user's activities are innocent or those of a perspective intruder. When the event correlation engine is unable to classify a user based on a single trap message, it can request historical information from the security MIB, a database of the operating history of the client computer including a chronology of the illegal operations performed on the client. Once the event correlation engine determines that an intruder is located at an associated client workstation, it generates a status message and transmits the message to all of its subscribers, informing them of the presence and location of a suspected intruder.

A medical database and associated methods are especially suited for compiling information in a medical malpractice situation. A general medical database is provided and specific medical information corresponding to a given situation is entered. Entry of the information automatically cross-references some terms of the entered data to definitions in the general medical database. Terms are readily looked up when reviewing specific medical information and definitions are easily inserted where desired. A drug reference display provides two-way lookup from drugs to their side effects (or contraindications or interactions) and back. Significant information from an entered medical chronology is easily copied to a significant information section when a reviewer finds the information important.

A unified context-aware content archive system allows enterprises to manage, enforce, monitor, moderate, and review business records associated with a variety of communication modalities. The system may store an information infoset derived or inferred from one or more documents representing communications according to the variety of communication modalities as interaction transcripts. An interaction transcript represents interactions between participants through the documents rather than the documents themselves allowing for derivation or inference of communication events, chronologies, and mappings to be stored in a common data structure. In one aspect, events correlation is provided between participants of communications that can be established by general time series analysis for the purposes of extracting meaningful statistics and interaction contexts and other characteristics of data. In another aspect, chronological mappings are provided of conversations between an established start and end time frame.

Cyber defense systems and methods protect an enterprise system formed of a plurality of networked components. Connectivity and relationship information indicative of connectivity and behavior of the components are collected. A relationship graph is created based upon the connectivity data and the relationship data, wherein nodes of the relationship graph represent the components and edges of the graph represent connectivity and relationships. At least part of the relationship graph is stored to form a chronology. The relationship graph and the chronology are analyzed to predict connectivity and relationship changes within the enterprise system, and a first anomaly is identified when the current connectivity and relationships do not match the prediction

Methods and systems for a fuzzy logic engine (FLE) for an interactive product selector. In an embodiment, the interactive product selector provides a user with purchase decision questions (PDQs) regarding a product / service specified by the user. The PDQs can attempt to measure the user's product / service requirements. In an embodiment, the PDQs can be presented in radio button or check-box format, and as the user selects different options within the radio button or check-box PDQs, information is provided to the user and the options are recorded or otherwise tracked by the FLE. The FLE computes individual fuzzy sets for the PDQs according to the user's option chronology, and assigns membership grades to individual options. In an embodiment, the individual membership grades are associated with products / services based on feature, scaled, and thereafter averaged to compute a master fuzzy membership grade for a product / service. Higher master fuzzy membership grades can indicate a product / service more closely related to the user's requirements. The user can be presented with products / services in descending order of master fuzzy membership grade.

An update management system provides access to software updates (patches and upgrades) and to an update catalog server. The catalog server includes a chronology generator. When a request for an update family tree for a target update is received, the chronology generator accesses an index to find the database and record number for the target update. The record is retrieved, indicating updates superseded by the target update and updates superseding the target update. Records for the superseded and superseding updates are, in turn, retrieved. The process is iterated until there are no further superseding and no superseded updates indicated. The succession relations indicated in the retrieved records are arranged into a family tree for the target patch. The family tree can be used (along with dependency data) to help determine an update for a given workstation that optimizes performance and compatibility.

Additional records are combined into a database of earlier-entered records clustered into existing events. A common chronology of a set of the existing events in the database and the additional records is determined based upon respective date-times of origination. Relative proportions of the earlier-entered and additional records in the database are ascertained. The following are identified in the chronology: existing events immediately preceding, concurrent with, and immediately succeeding additional records. When the relative proportions are beyond a predetermined reuse threshold, all of the records of the set and the additional records are reclustered into new events independent of the existing events. When the relative proportions are within the predetermined reuse threshold, only the identified records are reclustered with the additional records.
