  • Patent number: 12321460
    Abstract: Arrangements for dynamic evaluation of remotely located content are provided. In some aspects, a connection may be established between an external storage receiving device and a computing platform. The connection may include an IP secure tunnel to ensure secure transmission of data. The external storage receiving device may receive an external storage device, such as a USB drive. The computing platform may generate one or more commands configured to cause data from the USB drive to be replicated, encrypted and transmitted to the computing platform. The commands may be transmitted by the computing platform to the external storage receiving device and executed. The data may be received by the computing platform and scanned to generate a status decision. Based on the generated status decision, each file may be transferred to an output folder and transmitted to other systems or devices for further evaluation use in business, or the like.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 10958670
    Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure relate to processing systems that generate a virtual air gap to facilitate improved techniques for establishing console access to a cyber range virtual environment. The computing platform may receive a request to generate a virtual air gap to facilitate brokering of a connection between a secure console host platform and a cyber range host platform. The computing platform may generate the virtual air gap, which may include a built-in kill switch. The computing platform may implement the virtual air gap, which may be configured to receive requests to establish a connection between the secure console host platform and the cyber range host platform and to grant the secure console host platform access to a broker. The broker may establish the connection, and the computing platform may terminate the connection in response to activation of the built-in kill switch.

  • Patent number: 10924481
    Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure relate to processing systems that implement a virtual air gap to facilitate improved techniques for establishing console access to a cyber range virtual environment. A computing platform may receive, via a first firewall, a cyber range request and authentication credentials from a secure console host platform. By comparing the authentication credentials to access records in a stored database, the computing platform may determine an authorization level corresponding to the authentication credentials. After verifying the authentication credentials, the computing platform may grant access to a broker, which may grant access to a console hosted by the secure console host platform. The computing platform may establish, using the broker and between the console and a cyber range host platform, a connection, which may cause a user device to access, through the console, cyber ranges hosted by the cyber range host platform that correspond to the determined authorization level.
