  • Patent number: 11743295
    Abstract: Methods, apparatus, systems and articles of manufacture to provide resource security are disclosed. Example methods and apparatus manage a benchmark specific to a resource, the benchmark created during development of the resource and including a collection of rules to constrain behavior of the resource, enable a rule of the benchmark that corresponds with a type of the resource, disable a rule of the benchmark that does not correspond with the type of the resource, test the enabled rule of the benchmark against the resource, identify an insufficiency of the resource based on the enabled rule of the benchmark, and remediate the insufficiency of the resource to comply with the enabled rule of the benchmark.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: July 6, 2021
    Date of Patent: August 29, 2023
    Assignee: VMware, Inc.
    Inventors: Pravin Goyal, Gregory A. Frascadore

  • Patent number: 10142370
    Abstract: Methods and apparatus are disclosed to generate a security assertion document associated with a container image, and to use the security assertion document to determine whether a container image is suitable for use to assemble a corresponding container for execution in a host environment. In an example method, the generated security assertion document includes a security assertion resulting from an assessed policy rule. In the example method, the security assertion document is separate from the container image such that the generation of the security assertion document does not alter the container image itself. In an example method, the contents of the security assertion document may be analyzed and/or verified in relation to the associated container image in connection with determining whether or not to use the container image to assemble a corresponding container for execution in the example host environment.
