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.
