  • Patent number: 11765171
    Abstract: A cloud-based service monitoring device includes a criteria database and an exceptions database. The criteria database includes predefined configuration criteria corresponding to approved operating parameters of each cloud-based service being monitored. The exceptions database includes predefined configuration exceptions such that, for a given instance, each configuration exception corresponds to a different instance-specific criteria than the associated configuration criteria for the cloud-based service. The monitoring device extracts configuration settings from instances of the cloud-based service and compares the settings to the configuration criteria of the cloud-based service. If a suspect setting is identified that does not satisfy the configuration criteria at the service level, the monitoring device compares the suspect setting to instance-specific criteria.

  • Patent number: 8590047
    Abstract: A system and method for an optimization of fulfillment workflow includes receiving application data and determining that an application is in scope for vulnerability assessment based at least in part on the application data. Assessment information related to an assessment identifying at least one vulnerability is received from an assessor. The information regarding the assessment is communicated to a remediator. One or more remediation tasks designed to remedy the at least one vulnerability is received, and an indication of performance of a remediation task is received. An indication that a remediation task has been completed based at least in part on the indication of performance of the remediation task is communicated, and an indication of whether the remediation task remedied the at least one vulnerability is received.
