BlueTalon Assigned Patent

BlueTalon, Inc., Redwood City, CA , has been assigned a patent (10,367,824) developed by Weintraub, Benjamin L., Sunnyvale, CA, and Verma, Pratik, Hopkins, MN, for “policy management, enforcement, and audit for data security.“

The abstract of the patent published by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office states: ”Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for managing, and enforcing policies on data security. A policy appliance includes a policy administration point, a policy decision point, a policy enforcement point and, optionally, an auditing module. The policy appliance can execute in a self-contained environment, (e.g., a single virtual machine), a single physical machine, or a cluster of virtual machines or physical machines identically configured. The self-contained policy appliance can receive, manage, enforce and audit multiple policies that specify access privileges of multiple users on multiple databases. The databases can include heterogeneous databases that are configured separately and differently from one another. A single configuration of the policy appliance centralizes and unifies policy management of the heterogeneous database in the self-contained environment.”

The patent application was filed on September 28, 2018 (16/147,364).
