Wiz Assigned Two Patents

Techniques for encrypted disk cybersecurity inspection utilizing disk cloning
Wiz, Inc., New York, NY, has been assigned a patent (12219048) developed by Shemesh; Daniel Hershko, Givat-Shmuel, Israel, Miran; Yarin, Rishon Lezion, Israel, Reznik; Roy, Tel Aviv, Israel, Luttwak; Ami, Binyamina, Israel, Costica; Yinon, Shaked; Yaniv, and Moscovici; Eyal, Tel Aviv, Israel, for “techniques for encrypted disk cybersecurity inspection utilizing disk cloning.“

The abstract of the patent published by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office states: “A system and method for inspecting encrypted disks for a cybersecurity object using a generic key is disclosed. The method includes: detecting an encrypted disk in a cloud computing environment, the cloud computing environment including a security policy service; authorizing a key policy on the security policy service for a default key of an inspector account, wherein the key policy is a policy authorized to decrypt the encrypted disk; generating a second encrypted disk based on the encrypted disk; inspecting the second encrypted disk for a cybersecurity object with the default key; and releasing a resource allocated to the second encrypted disk in response to completing the inspection.”

The patent application was filed on 2023-10-04 (18/481091).

Detecting security exceptions across multiple compute environment
Wiz, Inc., New York, NY, has been assigned a patent (12217079) developed by Shemesh; Daniel Hershko, Givat-Shmuel, Israel, Miran; Yarin, Rishon Lezion, Israel, Reznik; Roy, Tel Aviv, Israel, Luttwak; Ami, Binyamina, Israel, Costica; Yinon, Herzberg; Raaz, Oliver; Yaniv Joseph, Tel Aviv, Israel, Hazan; Osher, Mazkeret Batia, Israel, and Ben David; Niv Roit, Tel Aviv, Israel, for “detecting security exceptions across multiple compute environments.“

The abstract of the patent published by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office states: “A system and method for applying cybersecurity policies across multiple computing environments is presented. The method includes: generating an inspectable disk from a disk of a first workload deployed in a first computing environment, the computing environment including a cybersecurity policy applicable to a cybersecurity object; detecting the cybersecurity object on the inspectable disk; generating a policy exception; generating a representation of the cybersecurity object and the first workload in a security database, wherein the security database includes a representation of the first computing environment and a representation of a second computing environment which is associated with the first computing environment; detecting in the representation of the second computing environment a representation of a second workload associated with the representation of the first workload; and applying the policy exception to the second workload based on detecting that the second workload is associated with the first workload.”

The patent application was filed on 2023-12-29 (18/400705).
