Patent number: 9602550Abstract: Methods and systems for remediating a security policy violation on a computer system are provided. According to one embodiment, information regarding a program-code-based operational state of a host asset is collected by a light weight sensor (LWS) running on the host asset via a survey tool. The information is transmitted by the LWS to a remote server via an external network. Multiple security policies are enforced by the remote server with respect to the host asset based on the received information including determining whether the program-code-based operational state of the host asset represents a violation of one or more security policies, by evaluating, the received information with respect to the security policies, each of which define at least one parameter condition violation of which is potentially indicative of unauthorized activity on the host asset or manipulation of the host asset making the host asset vulnerable to attack.Type: GrantFiled: May 16, 2016Date of Patent: March 21, 2017Assignee: Fortinet, Inc.Inventors: Daniel B.

Patent number: 9154523Abstract: Methods and systems for remediating a security policy violation on a computer system are provided. According to one embodiment, a first computer system receives information regarding an operational state of a second computer system. It is determined whether the operational state represents a violation of a security policy that has been applied to or is active in regard to the second computer system by evaluating the received information with respect to the multiple security policies. Each security policy defines a parameter condition violation of which is potentially indicative of unauthorized activity on or manipulation of the second computer system to make it vulnerable to attack. When a result of the determination is affirmative, then a remediation is identified by the first computer system that can be applied to the second computer system to address the violation; and the remediation is deployed to the second computer system.Type: GrantFiled: February 13, 2015Date of Patent: October 6, 2015Assignee: Fortinet, Inc.Inventors: Daniel B.

Patent number: 8984586Abstract: Methods and systems for remediating a security policy violation on a computer system are provided. According to one embodiment, an agent running on an endpoint system collects information regarding a program-code-based operational state of the endpoint system. The agent transmits the information to a remote computer system via a network coupling the endpoint system and the remote computer system in communication. The remote computer system enforces one or more security policies with respect to the endpoint system based on the received information.Type: GrantFiled: January 11, 2014Date of Patent: March 17, 2015Assignee: Fortinet, Inc.Inventors: Daniel B.

Patent number: 8914846Abstract: Methods and systems for remediating a security policy violation on a computer system are provided. According to one embodiment, information regarding a program-code-based operational state of a computer system is periodically sampled. A determination is made regarding whether the program-code-based operational state represents a violation of a security policy by evaluating the information with respect to multiple security policies each of with defines at least one parameter condition violation of which is potentially indicative of unauthorized activity on the computer system or manipulation of the computer system to make the computer system vulnerable to attack. When a violation exists then a remediation is identified and deployed to the computer system. The violation is based at least in part on one or more of: whether a particular process is running; the existence, version or status of a particular application; and a version, type or configuration of an operating system installed.Type: GrantFiled: May 17, 2014Date of Patent: December 16, 2014Assignee: Fortinet, Inc.Inventors: Daniel B.

Patent number: 8776170Abstract: Methods and systems for remediating a security policy violation on a computer system are provided. According to one embodiment, information is received by one computer system regarding a program-code-based operational state of another computer system at a particular time. It is determined whether the program-code-based operational state represents a violation of security policies that have been applied to or are active in regard to the computer system at issue by evaluating the received information with respect to the security policies. Each security policy defines at least one parameter condition violation of which is potentially indicative of unauthorized activity or manipulation to make the computer system at issue vulnerable to attack. When a security policy violation is detected, then a remediation is identified that can address the violation; and the remediation is caused to be deployed to the computer system at issue.Type: GrantFiled: August 31, 2013Date of Patent: July 8, 2014Assignee: Fortinet, Inc.Inventors: Daniel B.

Patent number: 8561134Abstract: Methods and systems for automatically determining one or more remediations for a remotely monitored host asset are provided. According to one embodiment, a policy database, having stored therein policies defines at least one parameter condition violation of which is potentially indicative of unauthorized activity or manipulation of the host asset, is maintained by a remote server. The remote server receives via a network, a value of a parameter of the host asset. The parameter value is one of multiple parameter values that collectively characterize an operational state of the host asset. A determination is made whether there is a policy violation based on the parameter value by retrieving and evaluating one or more policies with reference to the parameter value. When a policy violation is confirmed, a remediation is retrieved from a remediation database associated with the remote server and the remediation is deployed to the host asset.Type: GrantFiled: December 14, 2012Date of Patent: October 15, 2013Assignee: Colorado Remediation Technologies, LLCInventors: Daniel B.
