ROME — Assured Information Security (AIS) now has 24 issued patents, with the issuing of two new patents in October by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, the company announced. “Expanding our patent portfolio is central to our mission of advancing cybersecurity solutions that can adapt to evolving threats,” AIS Chief Engineer Michael Seiffert said in a news release. “These new patents introduce breakthrough methods in malware prevention and data modeling. One patent enhances proactive malware defense by tracking process behavior, selectively presenting ‘canary files’ to suspicious processes and terminating them based on a malice scoring system. The second patent focuses on a novel approach to data modeling, enabling more precise feature selection through an iterative process that optimizes resource allocation. Together, these patents exemplify AIS’s commitment to building technologies that address complex cybersecurity challenges with efficiency and precision.” U.S. Patent 12,124,568 is for the prevention and remediation of malware based on selective presentation of files to processes. The invention is credited to AIS employees Sean LaPlante and Patrick McHarris. U.S. Patent 12,131,230 is for the feature equivalence and document abnormality threshold determination. The invention is credited to former AIS employees Daniel Scofield and Craig Miles. Headquartered in Rome, AIS provides cybersecurity and information-security services, products, and operations to commercial and government customers. The company employs more than 220 people across multiple locations in the United States.
