A system is provided for computing system configuration file state identification using decentralized multidimensional snapshots. In particular, the system may generate multiple configuration file and/or system state snapshots from various different computing systems within the network environment. Accordingly, each snapshot taken may represent a unique perspective or dimension of the configuration files and/or system states based on the computing system that is executing the snapshot, and/or the time interval at which the snapshot is executed. Based on the snapshots, the system may use data analytics to compare the snapshots against one another to establish a baseline configuration file and/or system state such that deviations from the baseline may be subsequently detected. In this way, the system provides an effective way to detect changes in configuration files and system states.

The present disclosure embraces a system for computing system configuration file state identification using decentralized multidimensional snapshots.
There is a need for a way to secure and protect electronic data.
The following presents a simplified summary of one or more embodiments of the invention in order to provide a basic understanding of such embodiments. This summary is not an extensive overview of all contemplated embodiments and is intended to neither identify key or critical elements of all embodiments, nor delineate the scope of any or all embodiments. Its sole purpose is to present some concepts of one or more embodiments in a simplified form as a prelude to the more detailed description that is presented later.
Having thus described embodiments of the invention in general terms, reference will now be made to the accompanying drawings, wherein:
FIG. 1 illustrates an operating environment for the configuration file identification system, in accordance with one embodiment of the present disclosure;
FIG. 2 illustrates a process flow for performing configuration file state identification using multidimensional snapshots, in accordance with one embodiment of the present disclosure; and
Embodiments of the present invention will now be described more fully hereinafter with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which some, but not all, embodiments of the invention are shown. Indeed, the invention may be embodied in many different forms and should not be construed as limited to the embodiments set forth herein; rather, these embodiments are provided so that this disclosure will satisfy applicable legal requirements. Like numbers refer to elements throughout. Where possible, any terms expressed in the singular form herein are meant to also include the plural form and vice versa, unless explicitly stated otherwise. Also, as used herein, the term “a” and/or “an” shall mean “one or more,” even though the phrase “one or more” is also used herein.
“Entity” as used herein may refer to an individual or an organization that owns and/or operates an online system of networked computing devices, systems, and/or peripheral devices on which the system described herein is implemented. The entity may be a business organization, a non-profit organization, a government organization, and the like, which may routinely use various types of applications within its enterprise environment to accomplish its organizational objectives.
“Entity system” as used herein may refer to the computing systems, devices, software, applications, communications hardware, and/or other resources used by the entity to perform the functions as described herein. Accordingly, the entity system may comprise desktop computers, laptop computers, servers, Internet-of-Things (“IoT”) devices, networked terminals, mobile smartphones, smart devices (e.g., smart watches), network connections, and/or other types of computing systems or devices and/or peripherals along with their associated applications.
