  • Patent number: 10001990
    Abstract: A system for application container security comprising an application container processing and deployment computer system configured to receive an application container, determine operating system kernel requirements of the application container, calculate a risk value based on the operating system kernel requirements of the application container, determine availability of a host computer to host the application container, by determining if the operating system kernel of the host computer meets operational requirements of the application container. The operational requirements including the risk value for the application container. When the operating system kernel of the host computer is determined to meet the operational requirements, pair the application container with the operating system kernel of the host computer.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 9860213
    Abstract: A gateway device including a network interface having wired and/or wireless connections to smart devices and a network access point. The gateway device also includes a processor and a memory device having a local database. The processor is configured to execute a network controller for connecting and communicating with the smart devices and the network access point, a firewall engine for enforcing firewall rules stored in the local database for filtering communication between the smart devices and the network access point, and a management interface. The management interface generates internal firewall rules based on device profile information received from a remote database.

  • Patent number: 9298489
    Abstract: Systems for monitoring a virtual machine in a cloud computing environment are disclosed. The systems include a baseline module configured to retrieve baseline information from the virtual machine and create a plurality of baseline files. The systems also include a benchmark module configured to comparatively analyze at least two of the plurality of baseline files to determine differences between the at least two baseline files and generate a plurality of benchmark reports based on the determined differences. The systems also include a trends module configured to comparatively analyze the plurality of benchmark reports and generate at least one trends report based on the comparative analysis of benchmark reports.
