Abstract:
Methods and systems for performing an authenticated boot; performing a continuous data protection; performing automatic protection and optionally a consolidation; and performing other defenses and protection of a protected computing device (such as a computer system) are provided. The aspects include integrating security mechanisms (which may include a “call home” function, role and rule-based policies, validating technologies, encryption and decryption technologies, data compression technologies, protected and segmented boot technologies, and virtualization technologies. Booting and operating (either fully or in a restricted manner) are permitted only under a control of a specified role-set, rule-set, and/or a controlling supervisory process or server system(s). The methods and systems make advantageous use of hypervisors and other virtual machine monitors or managers.

Claim (Index 27):
A system for protecting data stored in a secure data storage server, said system comprising:\n (a) a main computer having memory, said main computer configured to operate in a networked environment using logical connections to a plurality of remote network nodes comprising a secure data storage node and an authentication server; (b) a virtual machine manager configured to begin operation on said main computer, said virtual machine manager configured to communicate with at least one of said plurality of remote network nodes after power-on of said main computer as part of a boot process, said plurality of remote network nodes comprising an authentication server, a secure data storage node, and a control console, said authentication server configured to perform an authentication procedure that generates a response indicia for controlling whether said virtual machine manager is permitted to launch an operating system on said main computer as part of a boot process, said secure data storage node configured to provide access to stored data to said virtual machine manager on said main computer based on communication with said authentication server prior to launching said operating system, said virtual machine manager further comprising a hypervisor; (c) said control console implemented in at least one of said plurality of remote network nodes, wherein said control console is configured to identify an administrator and push a policy for said main computer as part of said authentication procedure, said control console enabling direct or indirect control over said main computer, wherein at least one policy related to limiting said memory or a storage associated with said main computer flows from said control console, wherein said operating system is executed on a virtual machine that is managed by said virtual machine manager based in whole or in part on said response indicia.
