Multi-tiered protection platform
First Claim
1. An apparatus for supporting an intermediate layer comprising:
- a processing device;
a memory device;
a storage subsystem;
a first communication interface configured to communicate with a plurality of sources of data, wherein the plurality of sources comprises first, second, and third sources;
a second communication interface interconnected with a web layer;
an intermediate layer module stored in the memory device, executable by the processor, wherein the intermediate layer module supports an intermediate layer that interacts with the web layer the intermediate layer module configured to cause the processor to;
receive a data request through the second communication interface for requested data through the web layer, wherein the requested data comprises dynamic data and wherein the first source is registered for the dynamic data;
generate an access message to the first source via the first communication interface to access first source data from the first source wherein the first source data comprises the dynamic data;
receive a response from the first source, the response containing the first source data;
remove a first data portion from the first source data to obtain the dynamic data wherein the dynamic data and the first data portion are distinct;
return the dynamic data to the web layer via the second communication interface;
store static data at the storage subsystem at the intermediate layer, wherein the static data is registered with a second source;
receive updated second source data from the second source;
remove a second data portion from the updated second source data, wherein the updated second source data comprises updated static data and the second data portion; and
replace the static data with the updated static data at the storage subsystem.

Abstract
A multi-tier platform provides additional security at a perimeter of a computer system, where an intermediate layer interacts with a web layer and controls data presentation to the web layer. When the intermediate layer receives a data request for dynamic data from the web layer, the intermediate layer obtains source data from the registered source and may remove a specified portion from the source data to obtain the dynamic data before returning it to the web layer. When requested data comprises static data, the intermediate layer accesses the static data from storage maintained at the intermediate layer. The intermediate layer obtains the static data by the registered source previously publishing source data and the intermediate layer removing a specified portion from it. Source data may assume different forms including a webpage of an external service provider with embedded third-party information being removed by the intermediate layer before presenting it.

16. A method for supporting an intermediate layer that interacts with a web layer, the method comprising:
-
receiving a data request for requested data through the web layer wherein the requested data comprises dynamic data and wherein a first external source of a first external service, provider is registered with the dynamic data; generating an access message to the first external source via the access first source data from the first source without interacting through the web layer, wherein the first source data comprises the dynamic data; receiving a response from the first external source, the response containing the first source data; removing a first third-party information component from the first source data wherein the dynamic data and the first third-party information component are distinct; and returning the dynamic data to the web layer; storing static data at the storage subsystem at the intermediate layer, wherein the static data is registered with a second external source of a second external service provider; receiving updated second source data from the second external source; removing a second third-party information component from the updated second source data, wherein the updated second source data comprises updated static data and the second third-party information component; and replacing the static data with the updated static data at the storage subsystem. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19)
