Method and service for securing a system networked to a cloud computing environment from malicious code attacks

A system to provide a service for securing a computer network connectable device or system networked to a cloud computing environment from malicious code attacks, comprising:

• a trusted website, where a purchase takes place, to secure the computer network connectable device or system networked to a cloud computing environment from the malicious code attacks, wherein the trusted website records at least one of the computer network connectable device or system's unique IDs and assigns a first password to a purchaser;
• and
• a secured cloud server that is separate from the trusted website, wherein the trusted website sends the at least one of the computer network connectable device or system's unique IDs and the first password to the secured cloud server, and sends the first password and a network address of the secured cloud server to the purchaser;
• wherein (a) an administrator connects to the secured cloud server using the first password and if the first password entered by the administrator matches the first password recorded by the secured cloud server, the administrator is successfully verified as an authorized administrator, and the secured cloud server identifies an operating system and a version of the computer network connectable device or system, selects an appropriate installation script, and initiates and installation by identifying administrator permissions flies associated with the computer network connectable device or system, encrypting said permission files, removing, transmitting and storing said permission files on the secured cloud server;
• (b) the authorized administrator is prompted to enter a second password and other required registration information including information about authorized user permissions, which is transmitted to the secure server and stored;
• (c) a path to the administrator permissions files is changed from a local path of the computer network connectable device or system, encrypted and pointed to the secured cloud server and stored at the computer network connectable device or system;
• and (d) the computer network connectable device or system is subsequently rebooted to prevent hackers from gaining control of said administrator permissions files by the malicious code.

A method for securing a computer network connectable device or system networked to a cloud computing environment from malicious code attacks by hackers by preventing hackers from gaining control of the administrator permissions files of a system and installing malicious software, comprising:

• removing by a separate secured cloud server the read, write and execute administrator permission files of a computer network connectable device or system's operating system and reallocating said permissions files to the secure cloud server on an intranet, the internet, or secured private network;
• storing at the secured cloud server at least one of the computer network connectable device or system'unique ID, which is used to subsequently connect to the secured cloud server in order to, at least, make subsequent changes to said permission files;
• requesting a password from an authorized administrator;
• changing a path to the administrator permissions files from a local path of the computer network connectable device or system, encrypted and pointed to the secured cloud server and storing said path at the computer network connectable device or system and then reboot said device or system;
• and
• allowing the authorized administrator to use the computer network connectable device or system upon successful validation of said requested password, wherein the method does not require any additional hardware at an authorized administrator/user'end.

A system to provide a service for securing a computer network connectable device or system networked to a cloud computing environment from malicious code attacks by hackers by preventing hackers from gaining control of the administrator permissions files of a system and installing malicious software, comprising:

• one of a trusted website, an authorized seller, or predetermined facility, where a purchase takes place, to secure the computer network connectable device or system networked to a cloud computing environment from the malicious code attacks, wherein the trusted website, authorized seller, or predetermined facility records at least one of the computer network connectable device or system's unique IDs and assigns a first password to a purchaser;
• and
• a secured cloud server that is separate from the trusted website, wherein the trusted website, authorized seller, or predetermined facility sends the at least one of the computer network connectable device or system's unique IDs and the first password to the secured cloud server, and sends the first password and a network address of the secured cloud server to the purchaser;
• wherein and administrator is successfully verified as an authorized administrator using said first password;
• wherein read, write and execute administrator permission files of the computer network connectable device or system's operating system are secured in the secure cloud server and the recorded unique device or system ID is used to subsequently connect to the secured cloud server with said network address in order to, at least, make subsequent changes to the administrator permission files;
• changing a path to the administrator permissions files from a local path of the computer network connectable device or system, encrypted and pointed to the secured cloud server and storing said path at the computer network connectable device or system and then reboot said device or system;
• and
• allowing the authorized administrator to use the computer network connectable device or system upon successful validation of said requested password, wherein the method does not require any additional hardware at an authorized administrator/user'end.
