Title: Method and system for cyber-security vulnerability detection and compliance measurement (CDCM)

Description:
FIELD OF THE INVENTION  
      The present invention relates generally to any entity, organization or individual with access to, or possession of, sensitive, confidential or secret information in digital format, defined as “protected” that is received, processed, stored or distributed by a computer, computer system or digital processing equipment. The particular focus of the present invention is to provide a method, apparatus and system to enable a party, with access to a digital based network, to establish, maintain and operate a Cyber-Security Vulnerability Detection and Compliance Measurement (CDCM) system which integrates and analyzes operational parameters and data from various sources and functions to provide intelligence and definitive measurements of the status, vulnerabilities, operational performance and compliance measurements of a system entity, organizations or individual. The invention also provides the capability to report and to archive the definitive results of the various measurements and definitive results provided by the models, processing activities, and the intermediate and local function and/or sub-function performance parameters.

     BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION  
      In recent years the issue of the security, confidentiality and integrity of data which is received, processed, stored and distributed by an entity, organization or individual, or that is transferred between points has become increasingly important. These concern have greatly increased as a result of an increase in cyber-crime activities and the national awareness of the intentions of international terrorists to use cyberspace as a medium to attack and destroy the American way of life.  
      This invention focuses on addressing at least two major issues associated with cyber-crime attacks, cyber-terror attacks and the man-made and natural disaster which can be directed at or befall a computer system and an entity, organizations or individual.  
      The first is the difficulty and inability of an entity, organization or individual to obtain quantitative and qualitative knowledge about the current state of the cyber-security operations and the second, is the difficulty and inability of an entity, organization or individual to obtain a definitive relative performance measure as against other similar entity&#39;s, organization&#39;s or individual&#39;s cyber-security operations or as against an established community standard or national standard such as the Federal Information 
          Security Management Act (FISMA).        

      Although the prior art addresses various types and systems for measuring and evaluating computer performance, and in some cases an organization&#39;s performance, the prior art does not provide for the type of performance and compliance analysis and measurement capabilities provided by this invention. With the current escalation in the actual and threatened cyber-crime attacks and the “always possible” risk of a cyber-terror attack against the United States infrastructure a rapid, accurate and definitive means of measuring the performance of a cyber-security system and the identification of potential cyber-security vulnerabilities is desperately needed.  
      An indication of some of the areas of performance measurement and providing knowledge about a system such that management can make informed decisions are discussed in the recent prior art in: U.S. Pat.

     SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION  
      To address the above weaknesses in the prior art and other limitations of the prior art, the present invention provides for any entity, organization or individual to utilize the CDCM system to detect vulnerabilities and measure his system&#39;s performance and operational compliance with established standards.  
      This invention facilitates this capability by utilizing the values of many parameters and data which represents the operational characteristics and processing environment in which a computer or some form of a digital device or group of computers and the networks and communications and processing equipment are operating where the ultimate function and purpose of the CDCM is to establish a quantifiable and definitive numerical measurement of the relative compliance of a specific processing system, at a specific point in time, to a defined and established threshold value of performance or compliance acceptance and to provide, assemble and be capable of archiving the supporting parameters, status, states and analysis specifically associated with the numerical value which represents the specific processing system&#39;s state of compliance at the specified time and to utilize various intermediate values and parameters to manage and enhance the performance of the specific system thereby improving the numerical measurement value.

      Security Assessment Questions  
      In order to measure the progress of effectively implementing the needed security control, ACAP utilizes four types of system functionality. They are commonly referred to as the POPs status report. These four functionalities translate into five “Levels” in terms current assessment format utilized by many Federal Agencies under the guidelines for computer security assessment established by NIST Special Publication 800-26. A mapping of the ACAP System format to the NIST 800-26 format follows. The ACAP System provides Security Assessment Reports in both formats.  
      ACAP System Security Assessment Reporting Format: the “POPs Status Report” 
     
         
         
           
              (1) [ ] POPs Issued;  
              (2) [ ] POPs Implemented;  
              (3) [ ] POPs Needed; and  
              (4) [ ] POPs Operational 
 
 Mapping of the ACAP System to the NIST 800-26 Format Guidelines: 
 
           
         
          (1) Are POPs Issued that cover the topics of the question?
        Level 1—control objective documented in a security policy     Level 2—security controls documented as procedures    
     
          (2) Are POPs Implemented that address the topics of the question?
        Level 3—procedures have been implemented    
     
          (3) Are more POPs needed to completely address the topics of the question?
        Level 4—procedures and security controls are tested and reviewed    
     
          (4) Are POPs Operational and Integrated into the full system covering the topics of the question?
        Level 5—procedures and security controls are fully integrated into a comprehensive program.    
     
       
    
      The NIST 800-26 format guidelines have established seventeen (17) major topics of control that security should be assessed. The ACAP security assessment questionnaire complies with the NIST 800-26 format guidelines but adds additional questions that focus attention on cyber-crime and cyber-terror issues. Additionally, because compliance with the cyber-security requirements established by the Security Act of 2001 is an important element of every organization&#39;s cyber-security system configuration and operational objectives, ACAP has added an eighteenth topic to the security assessment process.  
      Answer the following list of questions as they apply to the specific major application system or general support system that has been identified as the subject of this security analysis. For [ ] yes; and [ ] no; questions place an “x” in the appropriate answer to the question. For POPs status questions: [ ] POPs Issued; [ ] POPs Implemented; [ ] POPs Needed; and [ ] POPs Operational questions place an “x” in each [ ] that best defines the current state of the POPs. A question may have more than one [ ] with an “x” inserted. If it is helpful in presenting the status, address problems or identify plans provide additional information in the comment or notes sections associated with the question or the topic.
