Publication number: 20160191467Abstract: Virtualization platforms and management clients therefor are communicatively coupled to one another via a control layer logically disposed therebetween. The control layer is configured to proxy virtualization management commands from the management clients to the virtualization platforms, but only after successful authentication of users (which may include automated agents and processes) issuing those commands and privileges of those users as defined by access control information accessible to the control layer. The control layer may be instantiated as an application running on a physical appliance logically interposed between the virtualization platforms and management clients, or a software package running on dedicated hardware logically interposed between the virtualization platforms and management clients, or as an application encapsulated in a virtual machine running on a compatible virtualization platform logically interposed between the virtualization platforms and management client.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 8, 2016Publication date: June 30, 2016Inventors: Renata Budku, Eric Ming Chiu, Boris Belov, Boris Strongin, Hemma Prafullchandra

Patent number: 8832784Abstract: Resources of a virtualized ecosystem are intelligently secured by defining and analyzing object handling security control information for one or more logical resources in the virtualized ecosystem and deriving therefrom object properties for each of the logical resources involved in the execution of a virtual machine in any given context within the virtualized ecosystem.Type: GrantFiled: December 17, 2012Date of Patent: September 9, 2014Assignee: HyTrust, Inc.Inventors: Renata Budko, Hemma Prafullchandra, Eric Ming Chiu, Boris Strongin

Patent number: 8539589Abstract: An automated configuration management system (ACMS) oversees resources of a virtualized ecosystem by establishing a baseline configuration (including, e.g., security controls) for the resources; and, repeatedly, monitoring and collecting data from the resources, analyzing the data collected, making recommendations concerning configuration changes for the resources of the virtualized ecosystem based on the analysis, and either adopting and implementing the recommendations or not, wherein new states of the virtualized ecosystem and reactions to recommended changes are observed and applied in the form of new recommendations, and/or as adjustments to the baseline. The recommendations may be implemented automatically or only upon review by an administrator before being implemented or not.Type: GrantFiled: April 13, 2012Date of Patent: September 17, 2013Assignee: Hytrust, Inc.Inventors: Hemma Prafullchandra, Russell Weisz, Renata Budko, Eric Ming Chiu, Boris Belov

Publication number: 20120036561Abstract: Virtualization platforms and management clients therefor are communicatively coupled to one another via a control layer logically disposed therebetween. The control layer is configured to proxy virtualization management commands from the management clients to the virtualization platforms, but only after successful authentication of users (which may include automated agents and processes) issuing those commands and privileges of those users as defined by access control information accessible to the control layer. The control layer may be instantiated as an application running on a physical appliance logically interposed between the virtualization platforms and management clients, or a software package running on dedicated hardware logically interposed between the virtualization platforms and management clients, or as an application encapsulated in a virtual machine running on a compatible virtualization platform logically interposed between the virtualization platforms and management clients.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 14, 2011Publication date: February 9, 2012Inventors: Renata Budko, Eric Ming Chiu, Boris Belov, Boris Strongin, Hemma Prafullchandra
