First Claim
Patent Images
1. A system, comprising:
- a memory that stores instructions; and
a processor that executes the instructions to perform operations, the operations comprising;
determining, based on a first security data file received from a first cache server and based on a comparison of the first security data file with a second security data file received from a second cache server, if a change in operation of a content server has occurred, wherein the first security data file is provided to the first cache server by the content server and is cached at the first cache server, wherein the second security data file is provided to the second cache server by the content server and is cached at the second cache server, wherein the first security data file includes first security data associated with the content server, and wherein the second security data file includes second security data associated with the content server; and
generating an alert if the change in the operation of the content server is determined to have occurred.

14. A method, comprising:
-
determining, based on a first security data file received from a first cache server and based on a comparison of the first security data file with a second security data file received from a second cache server, if a change in operation of a content server has occurred, wherein the determining is performed by utilizing instructions from a memory that are executed by a processor, wherein the first security data file is provided to the first cache server by the content server and is cached at the first cache server, wherein the second security data file is provided to the second cache server by the content server and is cached at the second cache server, wherein the first security data file includes first security data associated with the content server, and wherein the second security data file includes second security data associated with the content server; and transmitting an alert if the change in the operation of the content server is determined to have occurred. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19)

20. A computer-readable device comprising instructions, which, when loaded and executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform operations, the operations comprising:
-
determining, based on a first security data file received from a first cache server and based on a comparison of the first security data file with a second security data file received from a second cache server, if a change in operation of a content server has occurred, wherein the first security data file is provided to the first cache server by the content server and is cached at the first cache server, wherein the second security data file is provided to the second cache server by the content server and is cached at the second cache server, wherein the first security data file includes first security data associated with the content server, and wherein the second security data file includes second security data associated with the content server; and transmitting an alert if the change in the operation of the content server is determined to have occurred.
