摘要:
Mapping between object types in an enterprise security assessment sharing (“ESAS”) system enables attacks on an enterprise network and security incidents to be better detected and capabilities to respond to be improved. The ESAS system is distributed among endpoints incorporating different security products in the enterprise network that share a commonly-utilized communications channel. An endpoint publishes a security assessment when a potential security incident is detected. The security assessment identifies the object of interest, the type of security incident and its severity. A level of confidence in the detection is also provided which is expressed by an attribute called the “fidelity”. ESAS is configured with the capabilities to map between objects, including users and machines in the enterprise network, so that security assessments applicable to one object domain can be used to generate security assessments in another object domain.

A data broker observes datasets that are opened or created by a user. The data broker looks for related datasets in a data catalog. If a related dataset is found, the data broker asks the user if they want to access the related dataset. If the user is interested, then the data broker asks the data owner if they are willing to share access to the related dataset with the user. The data owner may deny access, allow access, or request the user's identity. If the user does not want to provide his or her identity, then access to the related dataset is denied. If the user does provide his or her identity, then the data owner determines whether or not to share the data with that user. Once the owner approves sharing the related dataset, then the dataset or a link to the dataset is sent to the user.

The present invention extends to methods, systems, and computer program products for exploring and selecting data cleansing service providers. Embodiments of the invention permit a user to explore different data cleansing service providers and compare quality results from the different data cleansing service providers. Sample data is mapped to a specified data domain. A list of service providers, for cleansing data for the selected data domain, is provided to a user. The user selects a subset of service providers. The sample data is submitted to the subset of service providers, which return results including allegedly cleansed data. The results are profiled and a comparison of the subset of service providers is presented to the user. The user selects a service provider to use when cleansing further data.

The subject disclosure relates to a knowledge-driven data quality solution that is based on a rich knowledge base. The data quality solution can provide continuous improvement and can be based on continuous (or on-going) knowledge acquisition. The data quality solution can be built once and can be reused for multiple data quality improvements, which can be for the same data or for similar data. The disclosed aspects are easy to use and focus on productivity and user experience. Further, the disclosed aspects are open and extendible and can be applied to cloud-based reference data (e.g., a third party data source) and/or user generated knowledge. According to some aspects, the disclosed aspects can be integrated with data integration services.
摘要:
An enterprise-wide sharing arrangement uses a semantic abstraction, called a security assessment, to share security-related information between different security products, called endpoints. A security assessment is defined as a tentative assignment by an endpoint of broader contextual meaning to information that is collected about an object of interest. Endpoints may publish security assessments onto a security assessment channel, as well as subscribe to a subset of security assessments published by other endpoints. A specialized endpoint is coupled to the channel that performs as a centralized audit point by subscribing to all security assessments, logging the security assessments, and also logging the local actions taken by endpoints in response to received security assessments. Manual operations are supported by the specialized endpoint including manual approval of actions, security assessment cancellation, and manual injection of security assessments into the security assessment channel.

A malware analysis system for automating cause and effect analysis of malware infections is provided. The malware analysis system monitors and records computer system activities. Upon being informed of a suspected malware infection, the malware analysis system creates a time-bounded snapshot of the monitored activities that were conducted within a time frame prior to the notification of the suspected malware infection. The malware analysis system may also create a time-bounded snapshot of the monitored activities that are conducted within a time frame subsequent to the notification of the suspected malware infection. The malware analysis system provides the created snapshot or snapshots for further analysis.
摘要:
A network security system employing multiple levels of processing to identify security threats. Multiple host machines may each contain an agent that detects possibilities of security threats based on raw data sensed locally at that host. The hosts may share information obtained from local analysis and each host may use information generated at one or more other hosts, in combination with information generated locally, to identify a security concern, indicating with greater certainty that a security threat exists. Based on security concerns generated by multiple hosts, a security threat may be indicated and protective action may be taken.

Compromised host computers in an enterprise network environment comprising a plurality of security products called endpoints are detected in an automated manner by an arrangement in which a reputation service provides updates to identify resources including website URIs (Universal Resource Identifiers) and IP addresses (collectively “resources”) whose reputations have changed and represent potential threats or adversaries to the enterprise network. Responsively to the updates, a malware analyzer, which can be configured as a standalone endpoint, or incorporated into an endpoint having anti-virus/malware detection capability, or incorporated into the reputation service, will analyze logs maintained by another endpoint (typically a firewall, router, proxy server, or gateway) to identify, in a retroactive manner over some predetermined time window, those client computers in the environment that had any past communications with a resource that is newly categorized by the reputation service as malicious. Every client computer so identified is likely to be compromised.

Aspects of the subject matter described herein relate to providing simplified network access. In aspects, a network access device that controls access to a network is configured to allow communications with a set of specified hosts regardless of whether the requesting user has paid for or authorized payment for the network usage. The user may communicate with such hosts without further configuration, providing payment or other information to the network access device, or the like. If the user attempts to access other hosts, the network access device ensures that the user is authorized (e.g., has paid for, belongs to a partner organization, etc.) before granting the access.
摘要:
A security investigation system uses a central server to distribute requests for security information regarding an asset, receive responses, and manage the information in the responses in a case object. Requests may be distributed to various servers, each of which may have an agent that may receive the request, search various databases, logs, and other locations, and generate a response. A case object may be continually updated in some embodiments. The case object may be viewed, analyzed, and other requests generated using automated or manual tools. A case object may be sanitized for analysis without compromising sensitive information.
