Classification: CPC G | IPC G

Claim 16:
17. Non-transitory computer-readable media storing instructions that, when executed by a computing device comprising at least one processor, memory, and a communication interface, cause the computing device to:
enumerate available files stored on a software distribution point (SDP) computing system;
compare enumerated files to logical paths associated with the SDP computing system to identify one or more new files;
retrieve, from the SDP computing system via a network, the one or more new files;
extract metadata from each of the one or more new files;
recursively extract, based on an indication that a file of the one or more new files is a container file, metadata from each file stored in the container file of the one or more new files;
identify a match of metadata of a file of the one or more new files and metadata stored in a data store comprising information stored of “known-good” files;
update the matched metadata with an indication that the file is “known-deployed” to positively confirm that events associated with the one or more new files are related to deployment activity, wherein the indication comprises artifact metadata only available during dynamic execution of a particular entry of an artifact by a known deployed file metadata analysis engine and wherein the artifact metadata comprises an indication of a software distribution point and an indication that the file was introduced to a host through methods associated with approved software distribution practices and wherein artifact file metadata is enriched with labels to identify a functionality associated with the artifact; and
trigger, based on the update to the matched metadata, deployment of one or more files by the SDP, wherein the one or more files are associated with metadata indicating the file has a “known-deployed” identifier.
