A system () for monitoring a denial of service attack upon a target network resource includes a memory () and a processor (). The memory () stores instructions. The processor () executes the instructions in the memory () to receive one of a plurality of denial of service attack profiles, each profile identifying the target network resource and to execute a denial of service attack against the target network resource in accordance with the received profile. The processor () further executes the instructions in the memory () to scan one or more ports of the target network resource to determine an effect of the executed denial of service attack.

Systems and methods for testing denial of service attacks

A system, method and computer program product are provided for monitoring data traffic on one or more networks, determining the classification of the data based on an organization's classification rules, and assigning a classification to one or more entities involved in the transmission of the data, the classification being based at least in part on the classification of the data being transmitted. The classification rules may be based on an organization's classification categories of confidentiality, integrity and availability (CIA). The system, method and computer program product are also provided for implementing controls based on the classifications of the various entities, such as issuing an alert and/or preventing transmission of data if the data is transmitted between two entities that have different classifications.

System and method for automation of information or data classification for implementation of controls

A security system () in a network includes a softswitch () and a detection unit (). The detection unit () detects activity directed to the softswitch () and records the detected activity. In another implementation, a method for configuring a security device () for use in a network includes installing a detection unit () to monitor and record traffic directed to the security device (), installing a deceptive operating system (), installing a softswitch (), and configuring the deceptive operating system () and softswitch () to mirror settings used in an active softswitch () in the network.
