Abstract:
Computer systems and methods are provided in which an agent executive running concurrent with a security module, when initially executed, obtains an agent API key from a user. This key is communicated to a grid computer system. An agent identity token, generated by a cryptographic token generation protocol when the API key is valid, is received from the grid and stored in a secure data store associated with the agent executive. Information that evaluates the integrity of the agent executive is collected using agent self-verification factors. The information, encrypted and signed with a cryptographic signature, is communicated to the grid. Commands are obtained from the grid by the agent executive to check the security, compliance, and integrity of the computer system. Based on these check results, additional commands are obtained by the grid by the agent executive to correct security, compliance, and integrity problems and/or to prevent security comprises.

Claim (Index 32):
A grid computer system comprising:\n one or more processing units; a memory, coupled to at least one of the one or more processing units, the memory storing a grid node, the grid node executed by at least one of the one or more processing units, the grid node comprising instructions for: (A) receiving an alert from a first agent executive running concurrently with a first security module that maintains a plurality of containers on a computer that is remote to the grid computer system, the alert (i) indicating that the first agent executive has started running concurrently with the first security module and (ii) indicating a first agent identity token associated with the first agent executive; (B) determining whether the first agent identity token is valid; (C) determining whether the first agent identity token is being used by a second agent executive running concurrently with a second security module; (D) generating a second agent identity token through a cryptographic token generation protocol when (i) the first agent identity token is deemed valid by the determining (B) and (ii) the determining (C) determines that the first agent identity token is being used by the second agent running concurrent with the second security module; (E) communicating the second agent identity token to the first security module; (F) receiving encrypted information signed by a digital signature from the first security module from an evaluation of integrity of the first agent executive based upon a plurality of agent self-verification factors, wherein the receiving comprises decrypting the information using the second agent identity token in order to form decrypted information and validating the signature; and (G) verifying the integrity of the first agent executive based on the decrypted information when the signature has been validated.
