Abstract
A computer-implemented method and system identifies whether web content stored in a repository deviates from authentic web content being web content that is approved by authorized personnel of the web content prior to serving to a client requesting the web content. Web communications to the repository are monitored and web content is intercepted and analyzed in a safe environment for establishing that the web content conforms to a predetermined standard. If not, a web host serving the web content is alerted. In one embodiment, the web content is intercepted and analyzed prior to serving to the client and is served to the client only if either authenticated or after suitable modification to render it acceptable.
Claims27
A computer-implemented method for identifying whether web content stored in a repository deviates from authentic web content being web content that is approved by authorized personnel of the web content prior to serving to a client requesting said web content, said method comprising:
- monitoring web communications to said repository;
- intercepting said web content prior to serving a client;
- analyzing the web content in a safe environment for establishing that the web content conforms to a predetermined standard;
- and
- alerting a web host serving the web content if the web content does not conform to said standard.
A computer-implemented method for preventing web content stored in a repository from being served to a client requesting said web content, said method comprising:
- monitoring web communications to said repository;
- intercepting said web content prior to serving a client;
- analyzing the web content in a safe environment for establishing that the web content operates as expected;
- and
- serving the web content to the client only if the web content operates as expected.
A device for identifying that web content stored in a repository maybe suspicious prior to serving to a client requesting said web content via a data communications network, said device comprising:
- a communications port for allowing a client to access said repository for requesting said web content,
- a monitoring unit having a data communications port for coupling to the data communications network for intercepting web content uploaded by the repository to a client;
- an analysis unit coupled to the monitoring unit for receiving the web content intercepted by the monitoring unit and analyzing the received web content in a safe environment for establishing that the web content conforms to a predetermined standard;
- and
- an alert unit coupled to the analysis unit and responsive to the web content not conforming to said standard for alerting a web host serving the web content.
A device for preventing web content stored in a repository from being served to a client requesting said web content a data communications network, said device comprising:
- a communications port for allowing a client to access said repository for requesting said web content,
- a monitoring unit having a data communications port for coupling to the data communications network for intercepting web content uploaded by the repository to a client;
- an analysis unit coupled to the monitoring unit for receiving the web content intercepted by the monitoring unit and analyzing the received web content in a safe environment for establishing that the web content conforms to a predetermined standard;
- and
- a communications output coupled to coupled to the analysis unit and responsive to the web content not conforming to said standard for blocking the web content to the client.
