  • Patent number: 12177221
    Abstract: A system for computer security of a remote device having a processor includes a way to determine an operating mode of the remote device and a way to validate a resource (e.g., program, script, web address). When an attempt is made to access a resource, the operating mode of the remote device is determined and when the operating mode of the remote device is a corporate operating mode, then the resource is evaluated using a corporate protection file. Otherwise, when the operating mode of the remote device is determined to be a personal operating mode, then the resource is evaluated using a personal protection file. When the resource validation determines that the resource is approved, access to the resource is provided; otherwise, access to the resource is prevented.

  • Patent number: 12158956
    Abstract: An apparatus and method for providing access to reliable boot firmware. In various implementations, a computing system includes an integrated circuit with a security processor. Prior to performing any steps of a bootup operation using one of multiple copies of boot firmware, the security processor determines whether multiple signatures exist where the signatures are based on the multiple copies of boot firmware. Each of the multiple copies of boot firmware is a copy of a particular version of boot firmware. If the multiple signatures do not yet exist, then the security processor generates the signatures using the multiple copies of boot firmware. During a bootup operation, when the security processor determines that the multiple signatures already exist, the security processor uses these signatures to validate one or more of the multiple copies of boot firmware. The security processor continues with the bootup operation using the validated copy of boot firmware.

  • Patent number: 12061704
    Abstract: A vulnerability management method acquires, during an OS runtime of an information handling system, vulnerability information indicating potentially vulnerable resources of the system. Disclosed methods calculate a vulnerability determination code (VDC) based on the vulnerability information. The VDC may indicate a scan zone that includes one or more scan zone components. Each component may correspond to a region of a potentially vulnerable resource. After a system reset, disclosed methods may perform a vulnerability aware (VA) boot sequence. The VA boot sequence may include, prior to booting a runtime operating system, determining, in accordance with the vulnerability information, whether to perform a comprehensive vulnerability detection (CVD) boot. A CVD boot refers to a boot sequence configured to boot a distinct operating system dedicated to performing a targeted vulnerability assessment that includes scanning the scan zone components indicated by the VDC.
