摘要:
A system and method for providing distributed security of a network. Several device profilers are placed at different locations of a network to assess vulnerabilities from different perspectives. The device profiler identifies the hosts on the network, and characteristics such as operating system and applications running on the hosts. The device profiler traverses a vulnerability tree having nodes representative of characteristics of the hosts, each node having an associated set of potential vulnerabilities. Verification rules can verify the potential vulnerabilities. A centralized correlation server, at a centrally accessible location in the network, stores the determined vulnerabilities of the network and associates the determined vulnerabilities with attack signatures. Traffic monitors access the attack signatures and monitor network traffic for attacks against the determined vulnerabilities.

An enterprise network includes hosts running services. Some of the services have security vulnerabilities. There are one or more threat zones associated with the network. For example, a firewall may create two threat zones, one internal to the firewall and one external to it. A device profiler in the first threat zone profiles the hosts on the network and identifies the vulnerabilities that are present. A device profiler in the second threat zone determines which of the identified vulnerabilities are accessible from its zone. A risk module calculates the risk associated with a vulnerability based on the vulnerability's severity, threat level metrics for the threat zones, and an asset value of the host with the vulnerability. A reporting module prioritizes the vulnerabilities based on their risks.

A network services platform provides services to remote enterprise networks. The services platform provides a control module to a computer in the enterprise network. The control module executes on the computer and interacts with the services platform to establish an Internet Protocol (IP) tunnel between the services platform and the computer. The control module also establishes a bridge between the IP tunnel and the enterprise network. The services platform allocates a unique private IP address space to the enterprise network, and translates IP addresses in network communications between enterprise network addresses and corresponding services platform addresses in the allocated unique private address space. The services platform provides network services to the enterprise network via the IP tunnel and bridge.

摘要:
An organization's security data is compared to an aggregation of multiple organizations' security data. Security data is received from multiple organizations having organizational characteristics. The received security data is aggregated based on the organizational characteristics to generate sets of aggregate data associated with the organizational characteristics. A query is received from an organization of the multiple organizations. The query specifies a particular organizational characteristic. A set of aggregate data associated with the specified organizational characteristic is identified. A representation of the organization's security data in relation to the identified set of aggregate data is generated. The representation is transmitted to the organization in response to the query.

摘要:
A system comprises a security manager to scan a network for host instances representing hosts on the network at that time, and record characteristics of the host instances in a host record. The security manager subsequently scans the network for host instances in order to identify persistent hosts. A host profiling module takes snapshots of the network to generate host instances based on characteristics such as an IP address, a NetBIOS name, a DNS name, a MAC address. A host matching module correlates host instances from different snapshots using weighted rules (predetermined or customized) to discriminate between multiple potential matching host instances. Also, security logic makes security decisions based on data including persistent host information.
