Patent number: 10454916Abstract: Systems and method are provided in accordance with one or more processes that run within an operating system, in which a first process of the one or more processes is an agent that encodes instructions for obtaining an authentication token uniquely associated with the agent. The agent collects security information about a first computer system running the one or more processes according to one or more commands received from a remote security system. The collected information is transmitted to the remote security system on an encrypted communication channel between the agent and the remote security system using the authentication token. Executable instructions are received through the encrypted communication channel at the first computer from the remote server according to a security policy assigned to the agent. The received executable instructions are executed at the first computer system, thereby implementing the assigned security policy.Type: GrantFiled: June 18, 2018Date of Patent: October 22, 2019Assignee: CloudPassage, Inc.Inventors: Carson Sweet, Vitaliy Geraymovych

Patent number: 10153906Abstract: A security server transmits a specification of a first set of files and directories to a computing device for monitoring according to a security policy. Each of the files or directories in the first set is associated with the operating system of the computing device or associated with an application running on the computing device. The server securely receiving data collected at the remote computing device, which includes metadata for the files and directories and content signatures computed for each file. The server compares the received metadata and content signatures for each file or directory against corresponding baseline metadata and baseline content signatures. The baseline metadata and baseline content signatures are stored at the security server. When there is a mismatch between the received metadata and corresponding baseline metadata or a mismatch between a received content signature and a corresponding baseline content signature, the server performs a remedial action.Type: GrantFiled: November 1, 2016Date of Patent: December 11, 2018Assignee: CloudPassage, Inc.Inventors: Carson Sweet, Vitaliy Geraymovych

Patent number: 9124640Abstract: A computing device includes a security control module to monitor and control security of the operating system and security of one or more applications executing within the operating system. The security control module transmits to a remote security server a policy identifier, which identifies a security policy that applies to the operating system and to the applications. The security control module receives from the remote security server a unique cryptographic key. The security control module periodically retrieves from the security server a set of commands selected by the remote security server according to the security policy and current conditions. The security control module executes each command. Each command either modifies execution of an executable program or process, collects information, or performs an action that modifies data associated with the operating system, data associated with the security control module, or data associated with the one or more applications.Type: GrantFiled: October 9, 2014Date of Patent: September 1, 2015Assignee: CloudPassage, Inc.Inventors: Carson Sweet, Vitaliy Geraymovych

Patent number: 9065804Abstract: Computer systems and methods are provided in which an agent executive, when initially executed in a virtual machine, obtains an agent API key from a user. This key is communicated to a grid computer system. An agent identity token, generated by a cryptographic token generation protocol when the key is valid, is received from the grid and stored in a secure data store associated with the agent executive. Information that evaluates the integrity of the agent executive is collected using agent self-verification factors. The information, encrypted and signed with a cryptographic signature, is communicated to the grid. Commands are sent from the grid to the agent executive to check the security, compliance, and integrity of the virtual machine processes and data structures. Based on these check results, additional commands are sent by the grid to the agent executive to correct security, compliance or integrity problems and/or to prevent security compromises.Type: GrantFiled: April 1, 2013Date of Patent: June 23, 2015Assignee: CloudPassage, Inc.Inventors: Carson Sweet, Vitaliy Geraymovych

Patent number: 8996865Abstract: A computer system includes memory storing an operating system. An agent executive runs within the operating system. The agent executive receives an agent identity token from a grid computer system. The agent identity token includes a unique cryptographic key assigned to the agent executive. The agent executive collects information about the computer system for an evaluation of integrity of the agent executive, according to a plurality of agent self-verification factors. The agent executive encrypts the collected information using the cryptographic key and transmits the encrypted information to the grid computer system. The agent executive retrieves an encrypted set of commands from the grid computer system, which are selected by the grid computer system in response to the transmitted information. The agent executive decrypts the encrypted set of commands and executes, at the computer system, each command in the set of commands.Type: GrantFiled: October 9, 2014Date of Patent: March 31, 2015Assignee: CloudPassage, Inc.Inventors: Carson Sweet, Vitaliy Geraymovych
