TRUST-BASED WORKSPACE INSTANTIATION - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240028713 titled 'TRUST-BASED WORKSPACE INSTANTIATION

Simplified Explanation

The abstract of the patent application describes a system where workspace instantiations are monitored for suspicious behavior. A client endpoint computer maintains a log of historical events associated with a workspace instantiation, adding new entries with timestamps each time an event is processed. A workspace orchestration service can monitor the log and flag or alert any entries indicating suspicious behavior, potentially terminating the current workspace instantiation for security reasons.

  • The system monitors workspace instantiations for potentially suspicious behavior.
  • A client endpoint computer maintains a log of historical events associated with a workspace instantiation.
  • Each event processed by the client endpoint computer results in a new entry with a timestamp in the log.
  • The log represents a detailed database description of the workspace instantiation, its definition file, lifecycle events, and timestamps.
  • A workspace orchestration service can monitor the log and flag or alert any entries indicating suspicious behavior.
  • The current workspace instantiation can be terminated as a security precaution.

Potential Applications:

  • Security monitoring and threat detection in workspace instantiations.
  • Preventing unauthorized access or malicious activities within workspaces.
  • Enhancing the security and integrity of workspace environments.

Problems Solved:

  • Identifying and addressing suspicious behavior or security threats in workspace instantiations.
  • Providing a detailed historical log of events for analysis and investigation purposes.
  • Enabling proactive security measures to protect workspace environments.

Benefits:

  • Improved security and threat detection capabilities for workspace instantiations.
  • Timely identification and response to suspicious behavior or security threats.
  • Enhanced control and monitoring of workspace environments.
  • Facilitates forensic analysis and investigation of security incidents.


Original Abstract Submitted

workspace instantiations are monitored for potentially suspicious behavior. a client endpoint computer creates and maintains a log of historical events associated with a workspace instantiation. each time the client endpoint computer processes an event associated with the workspace instantiation, the client endpoint computer adds and timestamps a new entry in the log of the historical events associated with the workspace instantiation. the log of the historical events thus represents a rich database description of the workspace instantiation, its corresponding workspace definition file, its corresponding workspace lifecycle events, and their corresponding timestamps. a workspace orchestration service (perhaps provided by a server) may monitor the log of historical events and flag or alert of any entries indicating suspicious behavior. any current workspace instantiation may thus be terminated as a security precaution.
