| 20110231361 | CONSOLIDATED SECURITY APPLICATION DASHBOARD - A consolidated security application dashboard system is described wherein a plurality of endpoint systems include visibility agents that collect status and event attributes/metrics from a plurality of security applications and upload the information to datamarts on a backend server. The backend server aggregates and processed the security application attributes/metrics to enable configurable dashboards to present summary and detailed information to IT users about the security metrics relating to a group of endpoints. | 09-22-2011 |
| 20100329149 | UNIVERSAL CONNECTIONS DATA COLLECTION - Universal connection data collection solution for monitoring, collecting and reporting connection data and/or attributes for endpoint computing devices making a connection to a network for use in analyzing user behavior and device connectivity efficiencies. Embodiments include IP connections wherein the universal connections data collection module is notified by the OS of IP connection events. Embodiments may include a standalone mode of the universal connections data collection solution and add-on modes wherein the universal connections data collection solution integrates with a third party connection manager using an API to communicate. The universal connections data collection solution monitors the state of network connections by enumerating connections, comparing the list of active connections to the last known snapshot of the network state to determine a network state change (e.g., new connection, change in connection state, disconnection), and periodically updating the statics of the connected network. Network connection details may be exported in the form of connection logs. | 12-30-2010 |
| 20090307763 | Automated Test Management System and Method - A test management application on a test management server includes a user interface on a Web-based portal by which a user can define one or more tests, selecting any desired configuration of operating system, connection type, and/or application, which are then saved in a test management database in the central server. Multiple tests involving the same configuration can be defined and saved for later selection, either individually or as a group of tests. A client agent engine on a test device can query the test management server for tests that can be conducted using the device's current configuration. If no such tests are found, the device can then query the test management server for the next available test. Upon allocation of the next available test to the device, the necessary system configuration for that test can be automatically retrieved, installed, and verified by the device. The device under test is automatically rebuilt to have the proper configuration for the test to be run. | 12-10-2009 |
| 20090259683 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR BUSINESS OBJECT MODELING - An enterprise information system consists of two fundamental components—the data and the business logic. Relational databases can provide a stable, clear and robust implementation of transactions with ACID properties and a declarative query language (SQL) for managing data and are at the core of modern enterprise computing. But modern programming languages like Java—a compiled language, and Javascript—a scriptable language, provide a much better environment for implementing complex business logic. Object Relational Mapping (ORM) tools provide a bridge between the relational environment and the object environment, so that data can be persisted in a relational data model and business logic can be encoded using objects. An extension to the standard ORM is provided to allow an application written in an object oriented language to deal with the information it manipulates in terms of objects, rather than in terms of database-specific concepts such as rows, columns and tables. | 10-15-2009 |
| 20090165132 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR SECURITY AGENT MONITORING AND PROTECTION - A security agent monitoring and protection system is provided. A security agent on an end point computing device can be accompanied by or can load into the device's memory at startup one or more independent software processes whose primary function is to directly protect the security agent itself and take protective actions against the end point computing device should a security agent protecting the device become disabled. Protection of the security agent can be achieved in several ways, including installing the security agent with restricted permissions, making it difficult to shutdown, restarting the security agent automatically if it is halted without authorization, disabling network connectivity of the end point device if the security agent does not successfully start or restart, protecting executable and dynamic link library (DLL) files of the security agent, and controlling access to the security agent's Common Object Model (COM) interfaces. These protective aspects can also be used by the monitoring agent itself to protect it from unauthorized access or disabling, further providing protection to the device. | 06-25-2009 |
| 20090158407 | API TRANSLATION FOR NETWORK ACCESS CONTROL (NAC) AGENT - An application programming interface (API) translation agent and method for converting a message from one application configured according to a first API to a message configured according to a second API so that the first application, which is configured to communicate only in accordance with the first API, can communicate with a second application, which is configured to communicate only in accordance with the second API. The first and second applications can include a security application and a network access control (NAC) agent installed on an end point computing device, and the API translation agent can be used by the NAC agent to obtain information regarding a security status of the end point computing device, the information being used to determine whether the end point computing device is in compliance with the security policies of a network. | 06-18-2009 |
| 20090158302 | API TRANSLATION FOR NETWORK ACCESS CONTROL (NAC) AGENT - An application programming interface (API) translation agent and method for converting a message from one application configured according to a first API to a message configured according to a second API so that the first application, which is configured to communicate only in accordance with the first API, can communicate with a second application, which is configured to communicate only in accordance with the second API. The first and second applications can include a security application and a network access control (NAC) agent installed on an end point computing device, and the API translation agent can be used by the NAC agent to obtain information regarding a security status of the end point computing device, the information being used to determine whether the end point computing device is in compliance with the security policies of a network. | 06-18-2009 |
| 20080222696 | System, Method, Apparatus, and Computer Program Product for Facilitating Digital Communications - A computer-implemented method and apparatus prevents unsecured access to a computer over a network by a client running on a remote computer. In one aspect of the present invention, a client policy is stored on the remote computer. The client policy includes a configuration of the remote computer that reduces the likelihood of a security breach of the computer as a result of the remote computer accessing the computer. A request is received from a user for access to the computer. It is verified that the remote computer conforms with the client policy, and the client is connected to said computer. | 09-11-2008 |
