TECHNIQUES FOR INSPECTING RUNNING VIRTUALIZATIONS FOR CYBERSECURITY RISKS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240289437 titled 'TECHNIQUES FOR INSPECTING RUNNING VIRTUALIZATIONS FOR CYBERSECURITY RISKS

The abstract describes a system and method for inspecting a running container for a cybersecurity object in a cloud computing environment. The method involves generating a clone of a disk deployed in the cloud, detecting a software container on the clone, and inspecting the container for a cybersecurity object if it is determined to be a running container.

• Generating a clone of a disk deployed in a cloud computing environment
• Detecting a software container on the generated clone of the disk
• Inspecting the software container for a cybersecurity object if it is a running container

Potential Applications: - Cloud security monitoring - Cybersecurity threat detection in cloud environments - Container security in cloud computing

Problems Solved: - Enhancing cybersecurity measures in cloud computing - Detecting and preventing cyber threats in running containers

Benefits: - Improved security in cloud environments - Real-time threat detection in running containers - Enhanced protection against cyber attacks

Commercial Applications: Title: Cloud Container Security System This technology can be used by cloud service providers, cybersecurity companies, and businesses utilizing cloud computing to enhance their security measures and protect sensitive data.

Questions about Cloud Container Security System: 1. How does this technology improve cybersecurity in cloud environments? - This technology enhances cybersecurity by inspecting running containers for potential threats in real-time. 2. What are the key features of this system for detecting cybersecurity objects in cloud containers? - The system generates clones of disks, detects software containers, and inspects them for cybersecurity objects to ensure a secure cloud environment.

Original Abstract Submitted

a system and method for inspecting a running container for a cybersecurity object in a cloud computing environment is disclosed. the method includes: generating a clone of a disk, wherein the disk is deployed in a cloud computing environment; detecting a software container on the generated clone of the disk; and inspecting the software container for a cybersecurity object, in response to determining that the container is a running container.
