Systems and methods for tracking telecom computing device vulnerabilities. The system includes a database storing a plurality of entries that describe security vulnerabilities, and a controller that receives input from a user selecting a class of telecommunication devices, e.g. a product line, and searches the database to identify pertinent entries describing a relevant security vulnerability for the class. The controller also identifies an authoritative entry that describes the relevant security vulnerability, validates pertinent entries within the database that conform with the authoritative entry, generates a report indicating a severity of the security vulnerability within the class based on valid entries within the database, and assesses a severity of the relevant security vulnerability for the class based on the conforming entries.

Diagnosing and tracking product vulnerabilities for telecommunication devices via a database

Tools and methods in which user interaction via a common user interface enables the assessing of network security prior to implementation of the network, as well as assessing the security of existing networks, portions of existing networks, or modifications to existing networks. A network security model useful in realizing the tools and methods is also disclosed.

Tool, method and apparatus for assessing network security

Various exemplary embodiments relate to a method and related security evaluation system including one or more of the following: determining, at the security evaluation system, a plurality of security dimensions to be evaluated for the target system; determining a reference value for each of the plurality of security dimensions, wherein each reference value is representative of a minimum target value for the associated security dimension of the target system; evaluating the security of the target system to generate an actual value for each of the plurality of security dimensions; and generating a security index representation that displays the reference value and the actual value of each of the plurality of security dimensions for the target system.

Method and apparatus to measure the security of a system, network, or application

A system and method for dynamically managing Virtual Private Networks (VPNs) in a manner enabling subscriber access to VPN services on an as needed basis.

Dynamic virtual private network system and methods

A method and apparatus for managing a network includes detecting occurrence of a network event associated with a new network condition including unplanned and planned macro-events associated with network elements and communication links of the network. The network event is classified as being associated with at least one of a network element failure, communications link failure, and a security breach. In response to the network event exceeding a network degradation threshold, the network event is identified as a network degradation event, and an alert is sent to a network administrator to normalize the network degradation event.
