During use, a threat assessment is undertaken to determine whether a server is compromised by a security threat. If so, a countermeasure to counteract the security threat is developed and installed on a virtual representation of the server. In this manner, the compromised server can be replaced with its virtual representation, but while always maintaining the availability of the endpoint in the computing environment. Other features contemplate configuration of the virtual representation from a cloned image of the compromised server at least as of a time just before the compromise and configuration on separate or same hardware platforms. Testing of the countermeasure to determine success is another feature as is monitoring data flows to identifying compromises, including types or severity. Computer program products and systems are also taught. | 03-31-2011 |
20120151200 | REMOTE MANAGEMENT OF ENDPOINT COMPUTING DEVICE WITH FULL DISK ENCRYPTION - Methods and apparatus involve protecting data encrypted by a first key on an endpoint computing asset including a drive with full disk encryption. The endpoint has both a main operating system for applications, and the like, and another operating system during a pre-boot phase of operation. During use, the pre-boot operating system prevents a user of the endpoint from accessing the encrypted data and the key. In one embodiment, an information exchange partition on the endpoint is accessible from a remote location and includes data encrypted using a second key accessible to both the pre-boot operating system and the main operating system. Another embodiment allows for the provision of a network connection to the endpoint during the pre-boot phase of operation in accordance with a security policy. | 06-14-2012 |
