The invention provides for systems, methods, and a transport re-encapsulator/tagger for delivering streaming media to customer premises equipment. A digital streaming media system broadcasts streaming media to provider networks which use middleware which has certain requirements for the transport encapsulation and tagging of headers of the streaming media. The invention provides for re-encapsulating/tagging of media broadcasts having one type of transport encapsulation/tagging into a type of transport encapsulation/tagging required by the middleware.

This method and system for detecting abnormal traffic in a communications network is based on classifying the traffic in risk and status categories and maintaining a service status table with this information for each service at a respective node. The risk categories are initially established based on known software vulnerabilities recognized for the respective service. An early notifier enables further processing of services suspected of malware propagation. Status categories enable segregating the traffic with a 'under attack status' from the 'non under attack' status, so that the intrusion detection system at the respective node only processes the &#x201c;under attack&#x201d; traffic. In this way, the time and amount of processing performed by the intrusion detection system is considerably reduced.

Communication network security risk exposure management systems and methods are disclosed. Risks to a communication network are determined by analyzing assets of the communication network and vulnerabilities affecting the assets. Assets may include physical assets such as equipment or logical assets such as software or data. Risk analysis may be adapted to assess risks to a particular feature of a communication network by analyzing assets of the communication network which are associated with that feature and one or more of vulnerabilities which affect the feature and vulnerabilities which affect the assets associated with the feature. A feature may be an asset itself or a function or service offered in the network and supported by particular assets, for example.

Systems and methods of dynamically introducing security features into a client-server application program are described. A security server between an application server and a database has multiple security components with a shared dependency. This shared dependency enables the introduction of a new security component providing a new security function without compromising the security of the application program. The new security component acquires state information from other security components in the security server thereby dynamically reconfiguring the component-based security system.
