A dynamic reliability and security capability is provided. The dynamic reliability and security capability may be configured to support use of a dynamic reliability profile (DRP) that specifies the reliability parameters of a customer both as function of time and as a function of the requirements of the application or service of the customer. The reliability parameters may specify reliability requirements and/or goals of the customer, thereby providing a time varying requirements/goals profile. The dynamic reliability and security capability may be configured to dynamically configure the cloud resources to provide the required reliability as specified by the DRP. The RSG capability may be configured to subsequently monitor and meter the behavior to assure that the specified reliability is in fact being delivered, which may include use of self-healing capabilities to provide service assurance.

Providing dynamic reliability and security in communications environments

Various exemplary embodiments relate to a method and related network node including one or more of the following: retrieving a record of a first transaction, wherein the first transaction is associated with personally identifiable information of an owner; determining a first privacy risk value based on: a first transaction security metric associated with the first transaction, wherein the first transaction security metric includes a first set of security parameters, and a first set of weights correlated to the first set of security parameters; determining the current security status based on the first privacy risk value; and transmitting the current security status to the entity.

System, method, and apparatus to mitigaterisk of compromised privacy

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.
