Appl. No.:

10/645388

Inventors:

Edward James Norris - Lancaster MA, US

Assignee:

Verizon Laboratories Inc. - Waltham MA

International Classification:

H04L 12/28

US Classification:

370401, 370338

Abstract:

Systems and methods are provided for detecting a wireless access device on a network. In one embodiment, the method includes receiving from the network a packet with an address; comparing the address with one or more registered addresses; determining the operating system associated with the address, when the comparing results in a match between the address and at least one of the registered addresses; comparing the determined operating system with one or more stored operating systems, such that at least one of the stored operating systems correspond to the wireless access device; and indicating that the received packet corresponds to the wireless access device when the determined operating system matches at least one of the stored operating systems.

Appl. No.:

11/485112

Inventors:

James T. McConnell - Keller TX, US
Edward J. Norris - Lancaster MA, US

Assignee:

Verizon Services Corp. - Ashburn VA

International Classification:

G06F 21/00

US Classification:

726 25

Abstract:

A method and system are disclosed for assessing cyber-based risks in an enterprise organization. A database comprising vulnerability data associated with computers in an enterprise is combined with a second database comprising data of users of computers in an enterprise, along with a third database base indicating the relationship of the users in an organization structure in the enterprise. From the synthesis of data in these separate databases, text based reports detailing aggregate computer vulnerabilities can be produced on a computer, as well as organizational charts depicting the relationship between selected individuals and their computer vulnerabilities. Using such reports, individuals charged with cyber-security can assess organizational cyber risks and allocate resources as appropriate.

H04M 15/00

Abstract:

A computer device may include a memory configured to store instructions and a processor configured to execute the instructions to determine a service requirement for a client device connected to a WiFi access point in a customer premises network that includes a plurality of WiFi access points. The processor may be further configured to monitor a service requirement parameter, associated with the determined service requirement, for the client device; detect that the service requirement parameter is within a threshold of the determined service requirement; and perform a self-organizing network (SON) action on the customer premises network, in response to detecting that the service requirement parameter is within the threshold of the determined service requirement.
