  • Patent number: 11218297
    Abstract: Disclosed below are representative embodiments of methods, apparatus, and systems for managing one or more cybersecurity tools that are deployed to help protect electronic assets in an IT infrastructure—including, for example, one or more security configuration management tools, vulnerability management tools, event logging tools, or other IT infrastructure security or monitoring tools that are used to monitor, secure, and/or control assets in an IT infrastructure. In one example, a request to install local software for access to a remote security control service is received from a remote user at a remote device; and data for installing the local software is transmitted to the remote user. In certain implementations, the data for installing the local software further includes a public cryptographic certificate.

  • Patent number: 10291471
    Abstract: 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.

  • Patent number: 10235236
    Abstract: 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.

  • Patent number: 9026646
    Abstract: 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.

  • Publication number: 20130073704
    Abstract: 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.
