Abstract
The invention comprises a method of discovering certificate resources using internal and external sensor agents. This information is correlated to create an extensive network map and detect potential phishing threats. The information is stored in a repository of correlated information and returned to authenticated users.
Claims16
A method to determine certificate resources associated with a network comprising:
- a. Obtaining information from an external sensor agent,
- b. Obtaining information from an internal sensor agent, and
- c. Correlating the information from an internal sensor agent and the information from an external sensor agent.
A method for detecting phishing domains comprising:
- a. Receiving a domain name from a name generator,
- b. Having an external sensor agent scan for the domain name, and
- c. Sending the results of a scan to a repository.
A system for determining certificate resources associated with a network comprising:
- a. An external sensor agent,
- b. An internal sensor agent,
- c. A repository where information obtained from the external sensor agent and internal sensor agent is deposited.
A system for detecting phishing domains comprising:
- a. A name generator,
- b. An external sensor agent that searches for domain names provided by the name generator, and
- c. A repository that stores information provided by the external sensor agent.
