摘要:
A computer implemented method, apparatus, and computer program product for effectively reducing a complicated problem space to enable faster implementation of system management software, and in particular, policy management for security software. The policy management tool of the present invention receives input from a user to configure a policy model, wherein the policy model is configured according to a set of policy requirements. The policy management tool presents a graphical view of a policy model according to the input from the user, wherein the graphical view allows the user to visualize internals of the policy model as a whole. The policy management tool performs validations on the policy model against requirements of the set of policy requirements. A simulation of the policy model may then be performed to determine the validity of the policy model and generate real test results feedback at a time the policy model is configured.

A system and method for utilizing a gaming environment for evaluating security policies is presented. An administrator uses a mapping system to map policy tags corresponding to a policy manager with game tags corresponding to a game manager. In addition, the mapping system configures a participant's game based upon gaming attributes and history data, such as assigning incentives to particular roles or locations, using customized terrains, and configuring screen resolution. Once the mapping system maps policy tags to game tags and configures the game, the mapping system invokes the game and allows the game participant to play the game. While the game participant plays the game, the mapping system identifies policy events, such as a security breach, and rewards the game participant accordingly.
摘要:
First and second applications having disparate concrete configuration models are integrated into a unified abstract model wherein configuration elements and associated element values are used to control configurable functions of the first and second application programs, respectively, and wherein the second configuration element has a similar configuration function as the first configuration element; using a first equivalence definition reflecting a functional relationship between the first application configuration element and an abstract model configuration element having the similar configuration function, wherein the abstract model configuration is application-independent and platform-independent; using a second equivalence definition reflecting a functional relationship between the second application program configuration element and the abstract model configuration element; and producing and associating a second configuration element value with the second application configuration element wherein the second application program is automatically configured according to the second concrete application configuration model.
摘要:
A computer implemented method, apparatus, and computer program product for integrating first and second applications having disparate concrete configuration models into a unified abstract model comprising through mapping corresponding configuration objects with similar functions in each application, defining an equivalence between at least one particular object within the first application and at least one particular object within the second application, optionally receiving user input at a time of configuration regarding user permissions as they relate to the mapped configuration objects, and configuring each application using the received user input, automatically translating the user input, through mapping rules and equivalence definitions, so that each application is automatically configured to the unified abstract configuration model.
摘要:
A mechanism for monitoring file accesses by a process running in a Virtual Machine. File access information associated with a monitored process selected in a first view in a debugging interface is obtained from a file activity log and displayed as selectable file access events in a second view of the debugging interface, wherein each file access event represents a read or write operation performed on a file at a particular point in time by the monitored process. An initial content of a file associated with the selected file access event and revisions made to the file by the monitored process within a defined period of time is retrieved from the file activity log upon detecting user selection of a file access event in the second view. The revisions are applied to the initial content of the file and displayed in a third view in the debugging interface.

A method and apparatus for protecting file data is provided that combines or merges revision based backup with backup based on time intervals. One embodiment is directed to a method for protecting data contained in a file of a computer system, wherein the computer system is useable to create multiple successive file versions. The method comprises the steps of specifying a maximum number of file versions that can be stored collectively at first and second storage locations, and apportioning the maximum number into a first number of file versions and a second number of file versions. The method further comprises storing the most recent of the multiple file versions, up to a number equal to the first number, at the first storage location. A number of file versions respectively created before the stored most recent versions, up to a number equal to the second number, are stored at the second storage location, over a pre-specified time period and in accordance with a pre-specified strategy.

Data is decayed over time by a type of data item by identifying constituent units of each data item; creating a shelf-life criterion for the constituent units by assigning dimensions to each data item and to each constituent unit; for each of the data items of the data item type, establishing relationship factors for each data item to other data items, between constituent units within data items, and between data items; periodically calculating or updating a decomposability index for each constituent unit as a function of the priority dimensions and the data life dimensions by moving the index towards a threshold for constituent units which are reproducible; and subsequently, decaying the data by deleting from storage constituent units which have decomposability indices exceeding a configured threshold, thereby reducing the amount of storage occupied by a remaining plurality of data items.
