  • Automated platform to assess commercial off the shelf (COTS) software assurance
    Patent number: 11720385
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method of verifying software is provided. The method comprises creating a number of virtual machines that simulate computing environments and running a number of software program on the virtual machines. The software programs have full access to the simulated computing environments, but the source code of the software program is unavailable. A hypervisor performs virtual machine introspection as the software programs run on the virtual machines, wherein the virtual machines and software programs are unaware the virtual machine introspection is being performed. Telemetry data is collected about the software programs, including any identified threats posed by the software programs to the simulated computing environments, and presented to a user via an interface.

  • ADAPTIVE DYNAMIC MALWARE ANALYSIS ENVIRONMENT
    Publication number: 20200394299
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method of analyzing malware is provided. The method comprises creating a number of virtual machines that simulate environments and running a number of malware programs on the virtual machines. A hypervisor performs virtual machine introspection as the malware programs run on the virtual machines, wherein the virtual machines and malware programs are unaware the virtual machine introspection is being performed. Behavioral data about the malware programs is collected and presented to a user via an interface.
