Abstract
Systems and method are provided in accordance with one or more processes that run within an operating system, in which a first process of the one or more processes is an agent that encodes instructions for obtaining an authentication token uniquely associated with the agent. The agent collects security information about a first computer system running the one or more processes according to one or more commands received from a remote security system. The collected information is transmitted to the remote security system on an encrypted communication channel between the agent and the remote security system using the authentication token. Executable instructions are received through the encrypted communication channel at the first computer from the remote server according to a security policy assigned to the agent. The received executable instructions are executed at the first computer system, thereby implementing the assigned security policy.
