NexiTech Assigned Two Patents

Moving target defenses for data storage
NexiTech, Inc., Woodland Park, CO, has been assigned a patent (10,558,802) developed by Matthews, Donald E., Woodland Park, CO , for “moving target defenses for data storage devices.“

The abstract of the patent published by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office states: ”Systems and methods for actively securing data storage devices utilize the technique of storage virtualization. In embodiments, would-be cyberattackers are presented with many possible ‘ports’ or ‘channels’ by which to communicate over a network with a data storage device. Unknown to the attacker, at any given time, only one of these ports or channels is the ‘correct,’ or ‘active,’ port, all of the other ports are dummies that do not permit communication with the storage device. The active port is dynamically, randomly, and/or continually reconfigured, seriously impeding the ability of the attacker to access the data storage device through the active port.”

The patent application was filed on June 26, 2019 (16/453,563).
