In accordance with varying embodiments of the invention, systems, devices and methods for analyzing a network packet received from a remote source and destined for a network resource, the network packet having associated packet data, and for identifying a plurality of network threats are disclosed.

A malware warning system, including a client sending requests to and receiving replies from a server, and a server, including a first warning generator sending to the client a warning including a threat level of content located at a web site, in response to receiving from the client a URL for accessing content at the web site, a second warning generator sending to the client a warning including information about at least one of the nature of the threat of the content located at the web site and a location of the web site, in response to receiving from the client a request for more information about the nature of the threat, and a third warning generator, sending to the client a warning including an instruction to perform a swipe gesture to confirm a request to access the URL, in response to receiving that request from the client.

Techniques are provided that for providing complete solutions for role-based, rules-driven access enforcement, the techniques including active policy enforcement. Techniques address blended risk assessment and security across logical systems, IT applications, databases, physical systems, and operational technology systems in the context of threat and fraud detection, risk analysis and remediation, active policy enforcement and continuous monitoring. Further, techniques provide out of the box workflow rules that give the ability to add, modify, or delete the applicability parameters for policy enforcement.

A trusted threat-aware microvisor may be deployed as a module of a trusted computing base (TCB) that also includes a root task module configured to cooperate with the microvisor to load and initialize one or more other modules executing on a node of a network environment. The root task may cooperate with the microvisor to allocate one or more kernel resources of the node to those other modules. As a trusted module of the TCB, the microvisor may be configured to enforce a security policy of the TCB that, e.g., prevents alteration of a state related to security of the microvisor by a module of or external to the TCB. The security policy of the TCB may be implemented by a plurality of security properties of the microvisor. Trusted (or trustedness) may therefore denote a predetermined level of confidence that the security property is demonstrated by the microvisor.

Threat intelligence is collected from a variety of different sources. The threat intelligence information is aggregated, normalized, filtered and scored to identify threats to an information network. Threats are categorized by type, maliciousness and confidence level. Threats are reported to network administrators in a plurality of threat feeds, including for example malicious domains, malicious IP addresses, malicious e-mail addresses, malicious URLs and malicious software files.

Techniques for discovery and management of applications in a computing environment of an organization are disclosed. A security management system discovers use of applications within a computing environment to manage access to applications for minimizing security threats and risks in a computing environment of the organization. The security management system can obtain network data about network traffic to identify unique applications. The security management system can perform analysis and correlation, including use of one or more data sources, to determine information about an application. The system can compute a measure of security for an application (“an application risk score”) and a user (“a user risk score”). The score may be analyzed to determine a threat of security posed by the application based on use of the application. The security system can perform one or more instructions to configure access permitted by an application, whether access is denied or restricted.

A system, method and apparatus authenticates and protects an Internet Protocol (IP) user-end device by providing a client-based security software resident on the IP user-end device, authenticating the IP user-end device using the client-based security software and a network security node communicably coupled to the IP user-end device, authenticating a user of the IP user-end device whenever a trigger condition occurs using an in-band channel between the client-based security software and the network security node, and protecting the IP user-end device by: (a) screening incoming IP traffic to the IP user-end device using the client-based security software, and (b) detecting an attack or a threat involving the IP user-end device using the network security node.

The invention relates to a mimicry defense architecture based zero-day attack detection, analysis and response system and a method thereof. The method comprises the steps of performing attack detection and processing on the input, cheating and inducing an attacker through honeypot type executing bodies, and performing meta-function inspection on the output of each executing body; performing statistical analysis on abnormal output by combining abnormal information, updating a zero-day attack database, feeding back an analysis result to an intrusion response module, and preventing persistent attacks of the attacker; performing dynamic adjustment and management on an online executing body by combining voting conditions, executing body dispatching, the executing body with abnormal output and the like, and selecting executing bodies from an executing body resource pool to get into a dynamic online executing body set; and analyzing a zero-day vulnerability in the executing body with abnormal output according to an anomaly statistical analysis result, and repairing the related executing bodies in the executing body pool. According to the invention, functions and the flexibility of mimicry defense architecture are enhanced, values of the abnormal output are sufficiently utilized, and the threat and the defense cost of zero-day attacks are reduced.

Methods, systems and computer program products are provided for evaluating security of a network environment. Security data associated with an asset in the network environment collected over a first period of time is analyzed to detect security events occurring at a rate above a reference rate. Security data associated with the asset collected over a second period of time, greater than the first period of time, is analyzed to detect security events occurring at a rate below the reference rate. A threat index is generated based on the detected security events.

A computer-assisted system, medium and method of providing a risk assessment of a target system. The method includes receiving at the computer at least one of a newly encountered hardware, software and / or operating system threat, updating a requirements repository to account for the threat, updating one or more target system test procedures to account for the threat, and conducting a risk assessment of the target system.

A computer readable storage medium with instructions executable on a host computer. The instructions record a relationship between a partner site and the host computer, substitute a reference to the partner site with a partner site alias referencing the host computer, deliver the partner site alias to a client, replace the partner site alias for the reference to the partner site in response to receiving the partner site alias from the client and augment the address of the client with an address alias. The address alias is sent to the partner site. A partner action and the address alias are received from the partner site. The address is exchanged for the address alias. The partner action is delivered to the client utilizing the address. These operations are monitored to identify client activity that constitutes a security threat at the host computer or the partner site.
