Egnyte Assigned Patent

Egnyte, Inc., Mountain View, CA, has been assigned a patent (12039066) developed by Sharma; Shishir, Mountain View, CA, Jassal; Amrit, Morgan Hill, CA, and Roberts; Sean Elliot, Mountain View, CA, for “storage agnostic large scale permissions and access analytics.“

The abstract of the patent published by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office states: “Systems and methods for simplifying and consolidating permission sets from multiple heterogeneous file storage systems are disclosed. An example method includes acquiring from the first file storage system a first set of file system permissions having a first set of permission semantics, and acquiring from a second file storage system a second set of file system permissions having a second set of permission semantics that are different from the first set of permission semantics. The first set of file system permissions and the second set of file system permissions are converted to a unified set of file system permissions having unified permission semantics that are different from the first set of permission semantics and the second set of permission semantics. The unified set of file system permissions can be analyzed to make a determination regarding security levels of the first file storage system and of the second file storage system.”

The patent application was filed on 2020-09-13 (17/019325).
