Company patents

Musarubra US LLC

Musarubra US LLC's patent strategy appears to be undergoing a significant shift, moving away from its historical focus on Network Security & Access Control (61.0% of portfolio) and Computer Security (49.4% of portfolio), both of which saw substantial declines in patenting activity in 2025 and so far in 2026. This is surprising given the company's strong patenting in these areas in 2024, with Network Security & Access Control growing by +175.0% and Computer Security by +100.0% year-over-year, suggesting a rapid reprioritization rather than a gradual evolution.

Providing a virtual security appliance architecture to a virtual cloud infrastructure

Filed:2021-05-13Pub:2025-02-04
Applicant:Musarubra US LLC

A method in an embodiment includes detecting a change for a virtual machine in a virtual server of a virtual network infrastructure, determining whether a virtual security appliance is configured in the virtual server, and sending a request to create the virtual security appliance in the virtual server. The method further includes allowing the virtual machine to initiate when the virtual security appliance is created in the virtual machine. The virtual security appliance performs security inspections on network packets sent from the virtual machine. In more specific embodiments, the method further includes creating an intercept mechanism in the virtual server to intercept the network packets from the virtual machine. In further embodiments, one or more security policies identify one or more virtual security appliances to process the network packets from the virtual machine.

Selective virtualization for security threat detection

Filed:2022-04-03Pub:2024-01-09
Applicant:FireEye Security Holdings US LLC

Selective virtualization of resources is provided, where the resources may be intercepted and services or the resources may be intercepted and redirected. Virtualization logic monitors for one or more activities that are performed in connection with one or more resources and conducted during processing of an object within the virtual machine. The first virtualization logic further selectively virtualizes resources associated with the one or more activities that are initiated during the processing of the object within the virtual machine by at least redirecting a first request of a plurality of requests to a different resource than requesting by a monitored activity of the one or more activities.

QUERY ENGINE FOR REMOTE ENDPOINT INFORMATION RETRIEVAL

Filed:2022-08-26Pub:2022-12-22
Applicant:Musarubra US LLC

Embodiments are disclosed herein for remote retrieval of information from endpoints and comprise receiving a master query at an endpoint in a network environment and executing a set of one or more subqueries defined in the master query. Embodiments also comprise an execution of a first subquery that includes executing a function to produce a first output, applying one or more conditions to the first output to determine a second output, and determining a result of the master query based, at least in part, on the second output. In specific embodiments, the master query is received from another node over a network connection. In more specific embodiments, the function is executed on the endpoint to collect real-time information based on one or more parameters. In further embodiments, the function is one of a plug-in or a script.
