TECHNIQUES FOR AGENTLESS VULNERABILITY INSPECTION IN ON-PREMISES COMPUTING ENVIRONMENTS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240330456 titled 'TECHNIQUES FOR AGENTLESS VULNERABILITY INSPECTION IN ON-PREMISES COMPUTING ENVIRONMENTS
The abstract describes a system and method for inspecting a resource in an on-premises environment for a cybersecurity threat. The method involves initiating network communication between the on-premises environment and an inspection environment, scanning the environment for a workload containing a disk, generating an inspectable disk based on the original disk, allowing an inspector in the inspection environment to examine the inspectable disk for a cybersecurity object, and releasing the allocated resource once the inspection is complete.
- Initiating network communication between on-premises and inspection environments
- Scanning for a workload with a disk
- Generating an inspectable disk based on the original disk
- Allowing an inspector to examine the inspectable disk for a cybersecurity object
- Releasing allocated resources once inspection is complete
Potential Applications: - Cybersecurity threat detection in on-premises environments - Resource allocation optimization - Enhanced security measures for sensitive data
Problems Solved: - Efficient detection of cybersecurity threats - Streamlined inspection process - Improved resource management in cybersecurity
Benefits: - Enhanced cybersecurity measures - Reduced risk of cyber attacks - Optimal resource allocation
Commercial Applications: - Cybersecurity companies - IT security departments in various industries - Data centers
Questions about the technology: 1. How does this system improve cybersecurity measures in on-premises environments? 2. What are the key advantages of using this method for threat detection in a resource inspection process?
Original Abstract Submitted
a system and method for inspecting a resource in an on-premises environment for a cybersecurity threat are disclosed. according to an embodiment, the method includes initiating a network communication between an on-premises environment and an inspection environment; scanning the on-premises environment for a workload, the workload including a disk; generating an inspectable disk based on the disk; providing access to an inspector deployed in the inspection environment to inspect the inspectable disk for a cybersecurity object; and releasing a resource allocated to the inspectable disk in response to detecting that inspection of the inspectable disk is complete.
