TECHNIQUES FOR SECURING VIRTUAL MACHINES - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240256324 titled 'TECHNIQUES FOR SECURING VIRTUAL MACHINES

The patent application describes a system and method for securing virtual cloud assets in a cloud computing environment against cyber threats.

  • Determining the location of a snapshot of at least one virtual disk of a protected virtual cloud asset instantiated in the cloud computing environment.
  • Accessing the snapshot of the virtual disk based on the determined location.
  • Analyzing the snapshot of the protected virtual cloud asset to detect potential cyber threats risking the asset.
  • Alerting detected potential cyber threats based on a determined priority.

Potential Applications: - Enhancing cybersecurity measures in cloud computing environments. - Protecting sensitive data and information stored in virtual cloud assets.

Problems Solved: - Mitigating cyber threats and vulnerabilities in cloud computing environments. - Ensuring the security and integrity of virtual cloud assets.

Benefits: - Improved security and protection of virtual cloud assets. - Early detection and mitigation of potential cyber threats. - Enhanced overall cybersecurity posture in cloud computing environments.

Commercial Applications: Title: "Cloud Security Solution for Virtual Assets" This technology can be utilized by cloud service providers, enterprises, and organizations that rely on cloud computing for storing and managing data. It can also be integrated into cybersecurity solutions to offer enhanced protection against cyber threats in cloud environments.

Questions about Cloud Security Solution for Virtual Assets: 1. How does this technology contribute to improving overall cybersecurity in cloud computing environments? 2. What are the key advantages of using this system and method for securing virtual cloud assets against cyber threats?


Original Abstract Submitted

a system and method for securing virtual cloud assets in a cloud computing environment against cyber threats. the method includes: determining a location of a snapshot of at least one virtual disk of a protected virtual cloud asset, wherein the virtual cloud asset is instantiated in the cloud computing environment; accessing the snapshot of the virtual disk based on the determined location; analyzing the snapshot of the protected virtual cloud asset to detect potential cyber threats risking the protected virtual cloud asset; and alerting detected potential cyber threats based on a determined priority.
