Patent number: 11012460Abstract: A dynamical hierarchical tagging system connected to a user site through a remote communications network. The system may comprise a master controller, a job management server connected to the master controller, one or more scanners in communication with the job management server, wherein the one or more scanners are configured to scan for one or more user assets located at the user site, resulting in scan results, a scan logic processor connected to the master controller, wherein the scan logic processor is configured to store the scan results in a user database, a tagging logic engine connected to the master controller, wherein the tagging logic engine is configured to tag the scan results stored in the user database, and an indexing logic processor connected to the master controller, wherein the indexing logic processor is configured to search and index the tagged scan results stored in the user database.Type: GrantFiled: April 3, 2017Date of Patent: May 18, 2021Assignee: Qualys, Inc.Inventors: Sean M. Molloy, Terry Ramos, Sumedh Thakar

Publication number: 20180316694Abstract: Embodiments disclosed herein are directed to intelligent malware detection. A scanner server is used to scan an endpoint device for malware. Various attributes and behaviors of the endpoint device are identified in retrieved scan data. Identified attributes and behaviors are then evaluated according to a malware detection framework, which is used to determine whether (as well as to what extent) the identified attributes and behaviors are indicative of malware. In this manner, potential security risks associated with the malware may be identified. The framework is constructed through a machine learning process that aggregates attributes and behaviors common amongst members of malware families. Advantageously, the framework enables the scanner server to detect unknown variants of known malware families.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 28, 2017Publication date: November 1, 2018Applicant: Qualys, Inc.Inventors: Sumedh Thakar, Ankur S. Tyagi, Abhijit V. Limaye

Patent number: 9900333Abstract: Described herein is a system and method for detecting vulnerability state deltas, the method comprising the steps of: receiving data related to a network connected device; determining a vulnerability state of the network connected device based upon the data; storing the vulnerability state in a vulnerability state database; receiving additional data related to the network connected device; determining an updated vulnerability state of the network connected device based upon the additional data; determining one or more deltas based upon differences between the vulnerability stare and the updated vulnerability state; and updating the stored vulnerability state with the updated vulnerability state.Type: GrantFiled: February 5, 2015Date of Patent: February 20, 2018Assignee: Qualys, Inc.Inventors: Sumedh Thakar, Bharat Patel, Balaji Venkatesan, Tristan Burch, Sean M. Molloy, Matthew L. Wirges

Patent number: 9876813Abstract: The technology described herein provides a novel system and method for web-based log analysis. The analysis combines the benefits of typical log monitoring systems with those of typical vulnerability managements systems. The synergy of the combined log monitoring and vulnerability management results in a single provider detecting vulnerability and subsequently accessing archived log data to detect if the vulnerability has been exploited in the past, identifying compromised machines for customers.Type: GrantFiled: February 11, 2015Date of Patent: January 23, 2018Assignee: Qualys, Inc.Inventors: Artem Harutyunyan, Amol R. Sarwate, Sumedh Thakar, Michael P. Shema
