Patent number: 9940190Abstract: Systems and methods for providing automated computer support are described herein. One described method comprises receiving a plurality of snapshots from a plurality of computers, storing the plurality of snapshots in a data store, and creating an adaptive reference model based at least in part on the plurality of snapshots. The described method further comprises comparing at least one of the plurality of snapshots to the adaptive reference model, and identifying at least one anomaly based on the comparison.Type: GrantFiled: April 28, 2016Date of Patent: April 10, 2018Assignee: Triumfant, Inc.Inventor: David Eugene Hooks

Patent number: 8984331Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for detecting an anomaly in a computer that is part of a population of networked computers. Snapshots are received from a plurality of computers within the population of computers, where individual snapshots include a state of assets and runtime processes of a respective computer. An asset normalization model is generated from the snapshots and serves as a baseline model for detecting an anomaly in the state of assets and runtime processes of a respective computer. A snapshot from at least one of the computers is compared to the asset normalization model in order to determine whether an anomaly is present in a state of static assets and runtime processes of the at least one of the computers.Type: GrantFiled: September 6, 2012Date of Patent: March 17, 2015Assignee: Triumfant, Inc.Inventor: Mitchell N.

Patent number: 8707427Abstract: Systems and methods for detecting malware in a selected computer that is part of a network of computers. The approach includes inspecting a predetermined set of operational attributes of the selected computer to detect a change in a state of the selected computer. In response to a detected change in state, the selected computer is scanned to create a snapshot of the overall state of the selected computer. The snapshot is transmitted to an analytic system wherein it is compared with an aggregated collection of snapshots previously respectively received from a plurality of computers in the computer network. Based on the comparison, anomalous state of the selected computer can be identified. In turn, a probe of the selected computer is launched to gather additional information related to the anomalous state of the selected computer so that a remediation action for the anomalous state of the selected computer can be generated.Type: GrantFiled: April 6, 2010Date of Patent: April 22, 2014Assignee: Triumfant, Inc.Inventors: David E. Hooks, Mitchell N. Quinn

Patent number: 8104087Abstract: Systems and methods for correcting an anomaly in a target computer that is part of a network of computers. An anomaly is detected in data stored on a target computer and it is determined what corrective data is needed to correct the anomaly. A donor computer with the corrective data is located and requested to provide the corrective data to the target computer. The corrective data is used to correct the anomaly on the target computer and the target computer may acknowledge receipt of the corrective data. In one embodiment, an arbitrator component receives the requests for the corrective data, passes the requests to potential donor computers, and receives the acknowledgements from the target computers.Type: GrantFiled: January 8, 2008Date of Patent: January 24, 2012Assignee: Triumfant, Inc.Inventors: Mitchell N.
