  • Patent number: 9460305
    Abstract: Disclosed are systems, methods and computer program products for controlling access to encrypted files. In one aspect, the system detects a request from an application to access an encrypted file. The system identifies the application that requested access to the encrypted file and one or more file access policies associated with the application. The file access policy specifies at least a file access method associated with the application. The system then controls access to the file based on the identified one or more file access policies.

  • Patent number: 9355224
    Abstract: A system for a dynamic adjustment of expiration date of an authorization key, the system comprising: a security product that will be installed on a predetermined number of computers. The administration key allows a use of the software product on the predetermined number of computers during a predetermined period of time. The plurality of authorization units purchased from a vendor that are the smallest increments of time that a duration period of the authorization key is measured in. The expiration date for all the computers can be updated at any time, depending on the number of computers on which the software is installed at any given time. The administration server determines a beginning and an ending date of a functionality of the authorization key for the security product. The data base receives and stores the beginning and the ending date of the functionality of the authorization key for the security product.

  • Patent number: 9032475
    Abstract: Disclosed are systems, methods and computer program products for configuring application control rules. The system creates a new application control rule that specifies restrictions or permission on execution a software application, a function of an application or a category of applications. The system then collects information about one or more computers in a network, including information about software applications deployed on the computers and existing application control rules. The system then tests the new application control rule using the collected information to determine verdicts rendered by the new application control rule that restrict or permit execution of an application, certain function of an application or a category of applications. The system then compares verdicts rendered by the new application rule with the verdicts rendered by the existing application control rules to identify conflicting rules, and reconfigures the new application control rule to eliminate conflicts.

  • Patent number: 8209740
    Abstract: Disclosed are systems, methods and computer program products for controlling access to a computer network. An example network access controller is configured to intercept data transmission to or from a computer and identify a network access policy associated with said computer. If there is no network access policy associated with said computer, the controller deploys on said computer an administration agent configured to collect configuration information from said computer and information about topology of said network. The controller determines a network access policy for said computer based on the collected information. The controller also activates antivirus software on said computer, to detect any malicious activity on said computer. If malicious activity is detected, the controller limits data transmissions to or from said computer until the malicious activity is eliminated by the antivirus software to prevent spread of the malicious activity to other computers in the network.

  • Patent number: 8024450
    Abstract: Disclosed are systems, methods and computer program products for remote administration of a computer network. The system comprises an administration server for remotely managing a computer network. The server deploys administration agents on the computers in the network for performing various administrative tasks. In addition, the server selects a computer with the highest performance rating as a local administration proxy for the network. The server then transmits to the local administration proxy a control signal for performing one or more administrative tasks by administration agents deployed on the computers in the network. The server then establishes, through the local administration proxy, a connection with the administration agents for performing administrative tasks of the computers.
