A method and system for distributing voice communication services via wireless local area networks. An entity sells, loans, gives or otherwise distributes wireless access points, each of which is pre-configured with virtual private network (VPN) security settings to establish a VPN tunnel over a packet network with a VPN terminator on a remote telephony services network. A recipient may thus install the wireless access point on a local area network (LAN), to allow users of voice-capable wireless devices to engage in voice calls via the wireless access point, VPN tunnel and telephony services network. The distributor of the access point, or another entity, may then charge users for placing and receiving voice calls through this system.

The present disclosure provides a method, system, and device for inquiry response mapping for determining a cybersecurity risk level of an entity. To manage and / or evaluate a cybersecurity risk level based on a relationship between a first entity and a second entity, questionnaires (e.g., requests or inquires) are often exchanged between two entities. One or more aspects of the present disclosure provide populating data sets (e.g., questionnaires) indicative of risk level for the first entity or the second entity. One or more other aspects of the present disclosure further provide determining a cybersecurity risk level of an entity by mapping responses to a plurality of inquiry sets directed to the first entity or the second entity.

Automated and continuous cybersecurity assessment with measurement and scoring. In an embodiment, a cyber-hygiene score is calculated based on data representing asserted cybersecurity controls within an entity system. The cyber-hygiene score indicates an extent of implementation of cybersecurity controls associated with a cybersecurity standard. In addition, automated cybersecurity test(s) are performed on the entity system, and a cyber-breach score is calculated based on the test scores calculated from the automated cybersecurity test(s). The cyber-breach score indicates an effectiveness of the implemented cybersecurity controls. The automated cybersecurity test(s) may comprise an inside-out controls test, and outside-in controls test, and / or a social-engineering test (e.g., phishing simulation). A cybersecurity assessment is generated based on the cyber-hygiene score and the cyber-breach score.

A system has an evaluation server that includes at least one database storing a plurality of cybersecurity awareness evaluations, the database connected to the server, a plurality of clients connected to the server and configured to run at least one of the cybersecurity awareness evaluations for play by users on user devices, the users performing actions in the evaluation including offensive actions and defensive actions, and an evaluation dashboard including an interface configured to display scoring results of the cybersecurity awareness evaluations as determined by the server, the scoring results including a plurality of offensive component scores for at least one of the users, a plurality of defensive component scores for at least one of the users, at least one composite offensive score for at least one of the users and at least one composite defensive score for at least one of the users, the composite offensive score being determined based on a plurality of the component offensive scores and the composite defensive score being determined based on a plurality of the component defensive scores.

A system, method and computer-readable medium for mitigating cybersecurity risk by analyzing domain name system (DNS) traffic, including detecting a network communication propagated over a computer network, the network communication comprising a domain identifier, monitoring DNS traffic to and from one or more DNS servers relating to the domain identifier, the DNS traffic including one or more DNS queries and one or more corresponding responses, extracting information from the monitored DNS traffic to generate a record identifier, updating a DNS metadata record stored in memory and associated with the record identifier based at least in part on the monitored DNS traffic, the DNS metadata record including one or more occurrence metrics associated with instances of the domain identifier in previous DNS traffic, determining whether the one or more occurrence metrics are indicative of a cybersecurity risk, and activating one or more mitigation actions based at least in part on a determination that the one or more occurrence metrics are indicative of the cybersecurity risk.

A replication of a physical network is created in the cloud. The replicated network safely validates configuration changes for any hardware network device of the physical network and the physical network end state resulting from the changes without impacting the physical network steady state. The replicated network creates virtual machines on hardware resources provisioned from the cloud. The virtual machines emulate network device functionality and have the same addressing as the network devices. Nested overlay networks reproduce the direct connectivity that exists between different pairs of the network devices on the virtual machines. A first overlay network formed by a first Virtual Extensible Local Area Network (VXLAN) provides direct logical connections between the cloud machines on which the virtual machines execute. A second overlay network of VXLANs leverages the first VXLAN to establish direct logical connections between the virtual machines that mirror the direct connections between the network devices.

A cybersecurity system that protects against cyber attacks by performing user and device behavioral analysis using an advanced cyber decision platform which creates a map of users and devices attached to a network, develops a baseline of expected interactions and behaviors for each user and device in the map, and monitors deviations from the expected interactions and behaviors.

A system and method to identify and prevent cybersecurity attacks on modern, highly-interconnected networks, to identify attacks before data loss occurs, using a combination of human level, device level, system level, and organizational level monitoring.

A cognitive security analytics platform is enhanced by providing a technique for automatically inferring temporal relationship data for cybersecurity events. In operation, a description of a security event is received, typically as unstructured security content or data. Information such as temporal data or cues, are extracted from the description, along with security entity and relationship data. Extracted temporal information is processing according to a set of temporal markers (heuristics) to determine a time value marker (i.e., an established time) of the security event. This processing typically involves retrieval of information from one or more structured data sources. The established time is linked to the security entities and relationships. The resulting security event, as augmented with the identified temporal data, is then subjected to a management operation.
