US Patent:

7043757, May 9, 2006

Filed:

May 22, 2001

Appl. No.:

09/862851

Inventors:

Ralph S. Hoefelmeyer - Colorado Springs CO, US
Theresa E. Phillips - Fairfax VA, US

Assignee:

MCI, LLC - Basking Ridge NJ

International Classification:

H02H 3/05

US Classification:

726 24, 726 22, 726 23, 713188, 709223, 709224

Abstract:

A system for malicious code detection includes a front-end processor, multiple scanning computer systems, and a detection management system. During operation, the multiple scanning computer systems scan content for malicious code and generate an alarm when the content contains malicious code. The front-end processor receives a flow of content from an external network and distributes copies of the flow to each of the multiple scanning computer systems in parallel for scanning. The detection management system employs a countermeasure on the flow if at least one of the scanning computer systems generates the alarm.

Assignee:

MCI, LLC - Basking Ridge NJ

International Classification:

G06F 11/30
G06F 15/173

US Classification:

726 23, 726 25, 709223, 709224

Abstract:

An approach for providing managed security services is disclosed. A database, within a server or a pre-existing anomalous event detection system, stores a rule set specifying a security policy for a network associated with a customer. An anomalous detection event module is deployed within a premise of the customer and retrieves rule sets from the database. The anomalous detection event module monitors a sub-network of the network based on the rule sets. The anomalous event detection module is further configured to self-organize by examining components of the network and to monitor for anomalous events according to the examined components, and to self-provision by selectively creating another instance of the anomalous detection event module to monitor another sub-network of the network.

International Classification:

G06Q 10/00
G06Q 30/00

US Classification:

705 11, 705 261

Abstract:

Disclosed is an application infrastructure platform (AIP) having an application service provider (ASP) environment including multiple ASP systems providing application services to customers, and a common services environment including hardware and software and management systems providing to the ASP systems applications and integrated application, back-office, and management services used by the ASP systems in delivering their application services to their customers. In another aspect, the AIP is associated with a development and test bed environment which conducts product and service development and testing.

International Classification:

H04L 29/06

US Classification:

726 22, 726 23, 726 24, 726 25

Abstract:

A network device used to provide network security includes an interface configured to receive data transmitted over a network. The network device also includes a firewall, intrusion detection logic and forwarding logic. The firewall, intrusion detection logic and forwarding logic process the received data to determine whether the data contains malicious content. When the data contains malicious content, the data may be dropped before it reaches a user device to which the received data was sent. Optionally, the network device may interact with an external device in order to make the forwarding decision. In addition, the network device may subscribe to services offered by the external device to receive updated security information.

Appl. No.:

13/196798

Inventors:

Ralph Samuel HOEFELMEYER - Colorado Springs CO, US
Theresa Eileen PHILLIPS - Fairfax VA, US

International Classification:

G06F 21/00
G06F 11/30

US Classification:

726 24

Abstract:

A network security system is deployed between an internet backbone and intranets that belong to subscribing organizations. The system includes a scanning system that scans incoming electronic mail for malicious code and an anti-virus server for downloading anti-virus code to clients on the intranets. A switch is provided for directing incoming electronic mail from the internet backbone to the scanning system so that the electronic mail can be scanned. In one embodiment, a decoy server is also provided for masquerading as a legitimate server and logging suspicious activity from communications received from the internet backbone.
