Data Security Technologies Assigned Patent

Data Security Technologies LLC, Dallas, TX, has been assigned a patent (11620378) developed by Shaon, Fahad, McKinney, TX, and Rahaman, Sazzadur, Blacksburg, VA, for “systems and methods for proactive and reactive data security.”

The abstract of the patent published by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office states: “Disclosed herein are systems, methods, and storage media for distributed system security. In an example embodiment, a computer-executable method includes receiving a first item of executable code, calculating a hash of the first item of executable code, and comparing the calculated hash to a database of hashes. Responsive to a determination that the calculated hash does not match any hash in the database of hashes, a first security policy is applied to the first item of executable code. Triggering of the first policy indicates that the first item of executable code should be blocked from execution. If the first item of executable code does not trigger the first security policy, the method includes executing the first item of executable code and intercepting a request initiated by the first item of executable code during execution. In the request matches a second security policy, the request is blocked and/or filtered or sanitized, based on attribute-based access control policies.”

The patent application was filed on 2019-11-27 (16/698328).
