20090106842 | System for Regulating Host Security Configuration - Methods and apparatus for dynamically revising host-intrusion-protection configurations according to varying host state and changing intrusion patterns are disclosed. A set of local servers, each functioning as a deep-security manager supporting a respective subset of the hosts, maintains and updates protection software containing filters and rules for deploying each filter. A local server cyclically monitors each host of its subset of hosts at time instants separated by adjustable monitoring periods to acquire host-characterizing data and determine an optimal set of filters. The local server maintains a profile for each host and determines a current monitoring period for a host according to the host's current profile. The processing effort is reduced by judicial adjustment of successive monitoring periods and selectively tailoring the host-characterizing data to the conditions of each host. | 04-23-2009 |
20110179489 | HOST INTRUSION PREVENTION SERVER - An intrusion-prevention server supporting a set of hosts comprises data filters and an engine which uses a set of encoded rules for assigning data filters to hosts according to metadata characterizing the hosts. Each data filter corresponds to at least one intrusion pattern from among a set of intrusion patterns and the data filters are continuously updated as intrusion patterns change. Metadata acquired from a host varies with a changing state of the host. Acquisition of metadata from each host is streamlined to reduce communications between the server and the hosts and to minimize processing effort for both the server and the hosts. | 07-21-2011 |
20120284795 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR REGULATING HOST SECURITY CONFIGURATION - A recommendation engine coupled to a server computer in communication with a plurality of hosts is described.

20130247138 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR REGULATING HOST SECURITY CONFIGURATION - A recommendation engine coupled to a server computer in communication with a plurality of hosts is described. The recommendation engine includes computer readable intrusion-protection instructions stored in a memory device, which cause a processor of said server computer to determine a current host-protection configuration for a target host; detect discrepancy between said current host-protection configuration and a prior host-protection configuration; install said current host-protection configuration in said target host upon detecting said discrepancy; record successive host-reconfiguration periods, a host reconfiguration period being a difference between successive instants of time at which a current host-protection configuration differs from a prior host-protection configuration; determine a monitoring period according to a value of at least one of said successive host-reconfiguration periods; and a scheduler for activating said intrusion-protection instructions according to said monitoring period. | 09-19-2013 |
20140223563 | DYNAMIC PROVISIONING OF PROTECTION SOFTWARE IN A HOST INSTRUSION PREVENTION SYSTEM - Methods and apparatus for optimizing security configurations of a set of computers are disclosed. A set of local servers, each functioning as a deep-security manager supporting a respective subset of the computers, maintains protection software containing filters and rules for deploying each filter. A local server receives updated protection software from a central server. Each local server interrogates each computer of its subset of computers to acquire computer-characterizing data and applies relevant rules to determine an optimal set of filters for each computer. Each rule adaptively determines required characterizing data elements from each computer for determining an optimal security configuration. A local server updates the security configuration of a computer to suit changes in the operational environment of the computer. | 08-07-2014 |
