    摘要: Security risk for a single IT asset and/or a set of IT assets in a network such as an enterprise or corporate network may be estimated and represented in a visual form by categorizing risk into different discrete levels. The IT assets may include both computing devices and users. The risk categorization uses a security assessment of an IT asset that is generated to indicate the type of security problem encountered, the severity of the problem, and the fidelity of the assessment. The asset value of an IT asset to the enterprise is also assigned. Security risk is then categorized (and a numeric risk value provided) for each IT asset for different problem types by considering the IT asset value along with the severity and fidelity of the security assessment. The security risk for the enterprise is estimated using the numeric risk value and then displayed in visual form.

    摘要: Aspects of the subject matter described herein relate to a mechanism for assessing security. In aspects, an analytics engine is provided that manages execution, information storage, and data passing between various components of a security system. When data is available for analysis, the analytics engine determines which security components to execute and the order in which to execute the security components, where in some instances two or more components may be executed in parallel. The analytics engine then executes the components in the order determined and passes output from component to component as dictated by dependencies between the components. This is repeated until a security assessment is generated or updated. The analytics engine simplifies the work of creating and integrating various security components.

    摘要: An automated collection of forensic evidence associated with a security incident is provided by an arrangement in which different security products called endpoints in an enterprise network are enabled for sharing security-related information over a common communication channel using an abstraction called a security assessment. A security assessment is generally configured to indicate an endpoint's understanding of a detected security incident that pertains to an object in the environment which may include users, computers, IP addresses, and website URIs (Universal Resource Identifiers). The security assessment is published by the endpoint into the channel and received by subscribing endpoints. The security assessment triggers the receiving endpoints to go into a more comprehensive or detailed mode of evidence collection. In addition, any forensic evidence having relevance to the security incident that may have already been collected prior to the detection will be marked for retention so that it is not otherwise deleted.

    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 will generate a tentative assignment of contextual meaning called a security assessment that is published 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.

    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.

    摘要: Endpoints in an enterprise security environment are configured to adaptively switch from their normal data collection mode to a long-term, detailed data collection mode where advanced analyses are applied to the collected detailed data. Such adaptive data collection and analysis is triggered upon the receipt of a security assessment of a particular type, where a security assessment is defined as a tentative assignment by an endpoint of broader contextual meaning to information (i.e., data in some context) that is collected about an object of interest. A specialized endpoint is coupled to the security assessment channel and 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 detected security incidents in the environment. The specialized endpoint is arranged to perform various analyses and processes on historical security assessments.

    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.
