Infosys has filed a patent for a method and system that enables the secure connection between endpoints and cloud servers. The system involves an agent controller that receives deployment information and registers endpoints by generating a unique key and authenticating them using an installed agent. This allows for the establishment of a dedicated secure channel between the endpoints and the cloud server over a computer network. The agent controller can also monitor the connected endpoints, collect data, detect anomalies, and resolve them.

Agent-based secure connection establishment between endpoints and cloud servers
A recently filed patent (Publication Number: US20230319021A1) describes a computer implemented method for establishing secure connections between endpoints and cloud servers using an agent-based approach. The method involves receiving deployment information and registering at least one endpoint using an agent installed on the endpoint. The agent controller generates a unique key for the endpoint based on its unique identifier and authenticates the endpoint. Subsequently, the agent controller establishes a secure connection between the endpoint and a cloud server, enabling them to connect through a dedicated secure channel over a computer network.
The method also includes additional features such as monitoring the connected endpoints to collect data, detecting anomalies based on the collected data, and resolving the detected anomalies. The deployment information contains information about the endpoints and the cloud server, which is used for establishing secure connections and monitoring.
The patent also describes a system for implementing the agent-based establishment of secure connections. The system includes at least one processor and memory unit, which store instructions for executing the method. The system receives deployment information, registers endpoints using an installed agent, generates unique keys, authenticates endpoints, and establishes secure connections between endpoints and cloud servers.
Similar to the method, the system also includes monitoring capabilities to collect data from connected endpoints, detect anomalies based on the collected data, and resolve the detected anomalies. The deployment information is crucial for establishing secure connections and monitoring.
Furthermore, the patent mentions a non-transitory computer-readable medium that stores instructions for the agent-based establishment of secure connections. This medium includes machine-executable code that, when executed by at least one processor, performs the steps of receiving deployment information, registering endpoints, generating unique keys, authenticating endpoints, and establishing secure connections between endpoints and cloud servers.
Similar to the method and system, the non-transitory computer-readable medium also enables monitoring of connected endpoints, detection of anomalies based on collected data, and resolution of detected anomalies. The deployment information plays a vital role in establishing secure connections and enabling monitoring.
Overall, this patent presents a comprehensive approach for establishing secure connections between endpoints and cloud servers using an agent-based method. The method, system, and non-transitory computer-readable medium provide a robust solution for secure communication and monitoring in a computer network environment.
