Patent number: 9741017Abstract: Methods, systems, and articles for receiving, by a monitor server, change data associated with a change captured on a target host, are described herein. In various embodiments, the target host may have provided the change data in response to detecting the change, and the change data may include one or more rules, settings, and/or parameters. Further, in some embodiments, the monitor server may then group the change data into clusters and may correlate the clusters with a change catalog in order to provide a possible reason or cause for the cluster of changes. Once the change data have been classified as clusters, a report may be generated providing classification or categorization and cluster information for the various changes. In various embodiments, the generating may comprise generating a report to the target host and/or to an administrative user. In various embodiments, a reason may be determined for causing a cluster of changes and the change catalog may updated with the reason.Type: GrantFiled: December 8, 2009Date of Patent: August 22, 2017Assignee: Tripwire, Inc.Inventors: Tom Good, Gene Kim, David Whitlock

Patent number: 9509554Abstract: Disclosed herein are methods, systems, and articles associated with remediation execution. In embodiments, a set of policy test failures may be selected for remediation. The set of policy test failures may be associated with a computer network with a number of nodes. For each failure within the set of policy test failures, a remediation script may be obtained to remediate a corresponding policy test failure. The remediation scripts may be selectively provided to nodes that are affected by policy test failures, for execution by the nodes. A remediation script result for each remediation script executed may be received. Based upon the remediation script results, it may be determined whether or not execution of the remediation scripts was successful.Type: GrantFiled: October 14, 2014Date of Patent: November 29, 2016Assignee: Tripwire, Inc.Inventors: David Whitlock, Guy Gascoigne-Piggford, Geoff Granum, Mark Petrie

Patent number: 9304850Abstract: Disclosed herein are methods, systems, and articles associated with remediation workflow. A method may include determining one or more test failures related to a policy test within a computer network, and reviewing the one or more test failures. The method may further include, based upon a result of the reviewing, creating a remediation work order that includes at least one of the one or more test failures. Each test failure within the remediation work order may be approved or denied. For each test failure that is approved for remediation, a remediation process may be executed.Type: GrantFiled: August 25, 2014Date of Patent: April 5, 2016Assignee: Tripwire, Inc.Inventors: David Whitlock, Guy Gascoigne-Piggford, Geoff Granum, Mark Petrie

Patent number: 9026646Abstract: Disclosed herein are methods, systems, and articles associated with correlating detected changes within a computer network with remediation processes performed in response to policy test failures. In embodiments, on determination that a failure of a policy test has occurred within a computer network having a number of nodes, a remediation process may be executed to remediate the failure. Change at a node may be detected. Further, the detected change may be correlated with the execution of the remediation process, and the correlation may be identified.Type: GrantFiled: September 16, 2011Date of Patent: May 5, 2015Assignee: Tripwire, Inc.Inventors: David Whitlock, Guy Gascoigne-Piggford, Geoff Granum, Mark Petrie

Publication number: 20130073704Abstract: Disclosed herein are methods, systems, and articles for promoting changes that result from remediation performed within a computer network, for compliance review. Policy tests may be provided within the computer network, which comprises a number of nodes. The policy tests may relate to configuration parameters and compliance requirements for various nodes within the computer network. At least one pattern relating to nodes within the computer network that may be affected by execution of a remediation script is determined. Nodes within the computer network may be identified, based at least in part on the at least one pattern. Subsequent to execution of the remediation script, a list of nodes whose state has changed may be promoted for compliance review.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 16, 2011Publication date: March 21, 2013Applicant: TRIPWIRE, INC.Inventors: David Whitlock, Guy Gascoigne-Piggford, Geoff Granum, Mark Petrie, Darren Gilroy
