US Patent:

6415321, Jul 2, 2002

Filed:

Dec 29, 1998

Appl. No.:

09/223072

Inventors:

Robert E. Gleichauf - San Antonio TX
Gerald S Lathem - Elgin TX
Scott V. Waddell - Austin TX

Assignee:

Cisco Technology, Inc. - San Jose CA

International Classification:

G06F 1300

US Classification:

709224

Abstract:

A method and system for mapping a network domain provides a centralized repository for network information to support network devices, including an intrusion detection system. A domain mapping device includes an acquisition engine for acquiring network information, hypercube storage for storing network information, and a query engine for responding to queries from network devices for network information. The acquisition engine acquires network information by active scanning of network devices, passive scanning of network devices, polling of network devices, or receiving network information pushed from network devices. The network information includes device type, operating system, service and vulnerability information. The query engine provides network information in response to queries from network devices, such as intrusion detection devices that use the data to detect attacks on the vulnerabilities of the network.

Inventors:

Scott Vaughn Waddell - Austin TX, US

Assignee:

Cisco Technology, Inc. - San Jose CA

International Classification:

H04M 9/00

US Classification:

4554041

Abstract:

A technique where mobile devices can receive configuration settings tailored to a situation to avoid embarrassing disruptions of meetings and other events through a Mobile Device Situational Awareness Protocol (MDSAP). The MDSAP could also provide location-specific information to the mobile devices that would include presentations and multimedia files or maps and other physical location detail that could be useful in emergencies.

Appl. No.:

13/085418

Inventors:

Jim Newman - Portland OR, US
Bart Lonchar - Portland OR, US
Scott Waddell - Lake Oswego OR, US

International Classification:

G06Q 40/02

US Classification:

705 35

Abstract:

A method of determining a risk score indicating a risk that an electronic transaction will involve fraud and/or abuse. The method includes receiving transaction data associated with a not yet completed transaction from a merchant. The transaction data includes one or more characteristics related to the transaction. A profile is selected that identifies network devices each associated with the characteristics and having a device reputation. Next, a profile-based risk factor is determined as a function of a percentage of the network devices having a negative reputation. The risk score is determined as a function of the profile-based risk factor. In some embodiments, a transaction-based risk factor may also be determined. In such embodiments, the risk score is determined as a function of the profile-based and transaction-based risk factors. The risk score is provided to the merchant to be used thereby to determine whether to proceed with the transaction.

Assignee:

Cisco Technology, Inc. - San Jose CA

International Classification:

G06F 1100

US Classification:

714 37

Abstract:

In one aspect of the invention, a computer implemented method for rules-driven multi-phase network vulnerability assessment is disclosed. The method comprises pinging devices on a network to discover devices with a connection to the network. Port scans are performed on the discovered devices and banners are collected. Information from the collected banners are stored as entries in a first database. Analysis is performed on the entries by comparing the entries with a rule set to determine potential vulnerabilities. The results of the analysis are stored in a second database.

International Classification:

G06F 1130

US Classification:

713201

Abstract:

A method and system for adaptive network security using network vulnerability assessment is disclosed. The method comprises directing a request onto a network. A response to the request is assessed to discover network information. A plurality of analysis tasks are prioritized based upon the network information. The plurality of analysis tasks are to be performed on monitored network data traffic in order to identify attacks upon the network.
