US Patent:

7899882, Mar 1, 2011

Filed:

Mar 11, 2008

Appl. No.:

12/046101

Inventors:

Matthew M. Shannon - Tampa FL, US
Matthew J. Decker - Valrico FL, US

Assignee:

Agile Risk Management LLC - Valrico FL

International Classification:

G06F 15/16

US Classification:

709217, 709218, 709228

Abstract:

A system and method for performing a forensic analysis of a subject computer having a non-volatile memory with a second computer is provided. In one embodiment, the method includes executing on the subject computer a first code segment configured to provide communications via a non-proprietary communication protocol such as the Internet Small Computer System Interface (iSCSI) protocol; establishing a connection between the second computer and the subject computer via the non-proprietary communication protocol. The non-proprietary communication protocol includes one or more write operations for writing data to a non-volatile memory in response to one or more write commands and the first code segment is configured to not write data to the non-volatile memory of the subject computer in response to receipt of the one or more write commands. The method may include performing a first forensic analysis of the subject computer via the connection. In addition, the method may further comprise establishing a secure connection, such via the Internet, between the second computer and a remote computer, wherein performing the first forensic analysis is initiated by the remote computer.

Filed:

Dec 6, 2012

Appl. No.:

13/706695

Inventors:

Matthew Martin Shannon - Tampa FL, US
Matthew James Decker - Valrico FL, US

International Classification:

H04L 29/06

US Classification:

709201

Abstract:

Provided are systems and methods for remote collection, preservation, and analysis of computer-based evidence in the course of conducting a network-based forensics or electronic discovery service. The challenge is to collect and analyze Electronically Stored Information (ESI) in a forensically sound manner over public and private networks. This is achieved via network-based forensics that may be conducted via an end user computer communicating directly with one or more subject computers across public or private networks, or it may be achieved via a “cloud computing” model whereupon the end user obtains, from the Internet, temporary use of shared resources, software, and information for the purpose of conducting digital forensics and eDiscovery upon subject computers.

Filed:

Jun 20, 2016

Appl. No.:

15/187034

Inventors:

Matthew Martin Shannon - Tampa FL, US
Matthew James Decker - Valrico FL, US

International Classification:

H04L 29/06
H04L 29/08

Abstract:

Provided are systems and methods for employing remote forensics and data security services over public and private networks by obtaining full access to digital data from the non-transitory computer-readable media of geographically dispersed computing devices such that the entire physical or logical media from each device is fully accessible to one or more user computers over the network. This is achieved via WebSocket technology implemented in point-to-point connection configurations, WebSocket technology implemented in network based digital data software switch configurations, and in combinations thereof. Application of these systems and methods are generally employed for the purpose of conducting remote examinations and remediation efforts upon electronic data comprising non-transitory computer-readable media on a network accessible computing device. As a few examples, the application of these systems and methods may be applied for the purposes of data sharing, remote computer support, data recovery, data loss prevention, data backup, eDiscovery (electronic discovery), digital forensics, remote monitoring, audit compliance, incident response, security incident remediation, and mobile device data management purposes. Examples of computing devices include, but are not limited to, workstations, laptops, tablets, smart phones, network routers, network switches, mobile computing devices, electronic sensors, and any device comprising the Internet of Things (IoT).

International Classification:

H04L 29/08
H04L 29/06

US Classification:

726 3, 709217

Abstract:

Provided are systems and methods for performing network-based digital data software switching between geographically dispersed subject computing devices, to obtain full access to digital data from the non-transitory computer-readable media of geographically dispersed computing devices such that the entire physical or logical media from each device is fully accessible to one or more user computers on the Internet. This is achieved via network-based digital data software switching systems that may be implemented on public or private networks. The data software switching system may be implemented on a private network for use by a private entity, or it may be achieved via a “cloud computing” model whereupon the user obtains, from a public network such as the Internet, the use of both dedicated and shared resources to engage the data software switching capability.

International Classification:

H04L 29/06

US Classification:

726 4

Abstract:

Provided are systems and methods for on-demand provisioning and de-provisioning of user access to network-based computer programs and applications, which provide on-demand user access provisioning when one or more programs or applications demand that role-based access be granted, in whole or part, to an application program by an approving authority, on an as needed basis.
