Application: Deduplication of endpoint images (Patent ID: US20230412641A1)
The patent filed by Sophos Ltd. describes a threat management facility for an enterprise that provides security services to virtual compute instances on a cloud computing platform. The facility aims to prevent the accumulation of records for abandoned compute instances by identifying redundancies and managing them accordingly. Each new virtual compute instance is explicitly identified by a user and template, then compared to existing records to determine redundancies that can be deleted or merged.
The patent outlines a computer program product that detects requests from compute instances in a virtual desktop infrastructure to join an enterprise network managed by the threat management facility. It creates virtual machine identifiers based on templates and user logins, compares them to existing records, and deduplicates instances to manage security services effectively. The system also includes methods for providing security updates to compute instances, managing security policies, and facilitating deduplication based on session tokens. Additionally, a system is described that includes a user device, virtual desktop infrastructure, and threat management facility to manage security for cloud-based virtual machines, ensuring the efficient and secure operation of virtual compute instances on a cloud platform.
