Abstract
A compliance monitor measures metrics regarding one or more managed devices in a network. The compliance monitor generates a log based on the information detected by the measurement trackers and to transmit a report based on the generated log to a recipient. The compliance monitor also initiates one or more security actions based on the one or more measurement trackers indicating that a measured metric exceeds an associated threshold measurement value.
Claims20
A method comprising
- receiving, from a plurality of devices in a managed network, logged information describing activity of the plurality of devices in the managed network;
- computing a first set of values for a set of security compliance metrics for the managed network based on the received logged information;
- comparing, at a first time, each of the first set of values for the set of security compliance metrics to a threshold value corresponding to each value;
- identifying a security compliance metric of the set of security compliance metrics that is out of compliance with a service level agreement based on the comparing;
- receiving additional logged information from the plurality of devices;
- computing, at a second time later than the first time, a second set of values for the set of security compliance metrics based on the additional logged information;
- comparing each of the second set of values for the set of security compliance metrics to the threshold value corresponding to each value;
- determining that the identified security compliance metric that is in compliance with the service level agreement based on the comparing of the second set of values;
- computing a time to compliance for the managed network based on the first time, the second time, the logged information, and the additional logged information;
- comparing the time to compliance to a threshold value;
- and
- initiating, responsive to the time to compliance exceeding the threshold value, a security action.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform operations comprising:
- receiving, from a plurality of devices in a managed network, logged information describing activity of the plurality of devices in the managed network;
- computing a first set of values for a set of security compliance metrics for the managed network based on the received logged information;
- comparing, at a first time, each of the first set of values for the set of security compliance metrics to a threshold value corresponding to each value;
- identifying a security compliance metric of the set of security compliance metrics that is out of compliance with a service level agreement based on the comparing;
- receiving additional logged information from the plurality of devices;
- computing, at a second time later than the first time, a second set of values for the set of security compliance metrics based on the additional logged information;
- comparing each of the second set of values for the set of security compliance metrics to the threshold value corresponding to each value;
- determining that the identified security compliance metric that is in compliance with the service level agreement based on the comparing of the second set of values;
- computing a time to compliance for the managed network based on the first time, the second time, the logged information, and the additional logged information;
- comparing the time to compliance to a threshold value;
- and
- initiating, responsive to the time to compliance exceeding the threshold value, a security action.
