Data structure for policy-based remediation selection
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method of selecting a remediation that is appropriate to a policy for a device that includes a processor, the method comprising:
- providing a machine-actionable memory that includes one or more machine-actionable records arranged according to a data structure, the data structure including links that respectively map betweenat least one R_ID field, the contents of which denote an identification (ID) of a remediation (R_ID), and at least one POL_ID field, the contents of which denotes an ID of a policy (POL_ID), the policy defining a condition violation of which is potentially indicative of unauthorized activity or manipulation of the device; and
indexing into the memory using a given POL ID value to determine values of the at-least-one R_ID corresponding thereto.

Abstract
A machine-actionable memory may include: one or more machine-actionable records arranged according to a data structure, the data structure including links that respectively map between at least one R_ID field, the contents of which denote an identification (ID) of a remediation (R_ID); and at least one POL_ID field, the contents of which denotes an ID of at least one policy (POL_ID), the at-least-one policy respectively defining a condition satisfaction of which is potentially indicative of unauthorized activity or manipulation of the device.

10. A machine-readable medium comprising instructions, execution of which by a machine selects a remediation that is appropriate to a policy for a device that includes a processor, the method comprising:
-
a first code segment to provide a machine-actionable memory that includes one or more machine-actionable records arranged according to a data structure, the data structure including links that respectively map between at least one R_ID field, the contents of which denote an identification (ID) of a remediation (R_ID), and at least one POL_ID field, the contents of which denotes an ID of a policy (POL_ID), the policy defining a condition violation of which is potentially indicative of unauthorized activity or manipulation of the device; and a second code segment to index into the memory using a given POL_ID value to determine values of the at-least-one R_ID corresponding thereto.

11. An apparatus for selecting a remediation that is appropriate to a technology present on a machine to be remediated, the method comprising:
-
a machine-actionable memory that includes one or more machine-actionable records arranged according to a data structure, the data structure including links that respectively map between at least one R_ID field, the contents of which denote an identification (ID) of a remediation (R_ID), and at least one POL_ID field, the contents of which denotes an ID of a policy (POL_ID), the policy defining a condition violation of which is potentially indicative of unauthorized activity or manipulation of the device; and means for indexing into the memory using a given POL_ID value to determine values of the at-least-one R_ID corresponding thereto.
