AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

Because virtual machines are relatively easy to create, clone, store, and move, they can easily be inconsistent with corporate policies (such as not having certified versions at the software and patch level)
It may be unsafe to allow such virtual machines to start with network connections in the corporate network

no. 3 example

[0013] As a third example of providing network access control in a virtual environment, a method may include: 1) identifying a virtual machine running on a host; 2) providing a network that resides on the host and is external to the virtual machine communication filter; 3) utilizing a process executing on the host and external to the virtual machine to check one or more resources of the virtual machine to determine whether the virtual machine complies with one or more network access control policies; 4 ) at an access control module controlling the network communication filter, receiving an indication of whether the virtual machine complies with the one or more network access control policies; 5) based on whether the virtual machine complies with the one or more network access control policies Indicates that the network communication filter is used to control the network access of the virtual machine.

Abstract

A computer-implemented method for providing network access control in virtual environments. The method may include: 1) injecting a transient security agent into a virtual machine that is running on a host machine; 2) receiving, from the transient security agent, an indication of whether the virtual machine complies with one or more network access control policies; and 3) controlling network access of the virtual machine based on the indication of whether the virtual machine complies with the one or more network access control policies. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed herein.

Description

Background of the invention [0001] The administrative state of an organization's individual endpoints can play an important role in the overall security and availability of its information technology ("IT") infrastructure and related business operations. This new wave of sophisticated crimeware is not only targeting specific companies, but is also using desktops and laptops as backdoor entry channels into those companies' business operations and valuable resources. To protect themselves from these targeted threats, organizations may need a measure to ensure that each endpoint is continuously compliant with corporate security and configuration management policies. Failure to ensure compliance with endpoint policies can leave organizations vulnerable to a wide range of threats. These threats can include the proliferation of malicious code throughout the enterprise, disruption of critical business services, increased IT recovery and management costs, exposure of confidential inf...
