  • Preserving system integrity using file manifests
    Patent number: 11636021
    Abstract: A system is described for preserving integrity of computing devices. A manifest that uniquely identifies files on a computing device is periodically captured from the computing device. The manifest is compared against a reference manifest, which represents an ideal or clean state of the device. If the manifest comparison indicates that there have been changes to the contents of the computing device, the system can determine whether the changes constitute a compromise to the endpoint's integrity. If it is determined that a change constitutes a compromise to the endpoint's integrity, the system can perform certain remedial actions, such as sending a message to an administrator or enforcing a base layer onto the device so that the content of the device is replaced with a clean image.
