Appl. No.:

10/810927

Inventors:

Carl Banzhof - Dallas TX, US
Richard Craighead - Little Elm TX, US
Kevin Cook - Arlington TX, US

International Classification:

H04L009/00

US Classification:

726025000, 713201000

Abstract:

Method and apparatus for protecting a remediated computer network during reconnection of a previously disconnected computer system. Upon initiation of reconnection to the computer network, the previously disconnected computer system raises a firewall to temporarily limit exchanges between the computer system and the remediated computer network until after a client remediation server residing on the computer network has resolved vulnerabilities of the computer system. The limitations on exchanges between the computer system and the remediated computer network are then removed by lowering the firewall.

US Classification:

726025000

Abstract:

A remediation server, downloadable software and an associated method for protecting a computer network from vulnerabilities. Software in the form of at least one network protection module is downloaded to the remediation server for the computer network and executed to protect the computer network from vulnerabilities. Upon execution thereof, the network protection module queries a device inventory for the computer network which is maintained at the remediation server to determine if any devices of a specified device type reside on the computer network. For each such device determined to reside on the computer network, the network protection module subsequently resolves vulnerabilities for the device using a remediation signature associated with the device query.
