Abstract: A method for cloud-based, control-plane-event monitoring includes receiving control-plane events from a cloud-based element associated with a first and a second cloud environment. The received control-plane events are ingested from the cloud-based elements associated with the first and second cloud environments to generate a multiple-source data set from the control-plane events from the cloud-based elements associated with the first and second cloud environments. The multiple-source data set is then evaluated based on attributes of the first and second cloud environments in order to generate a common event data set. The common event data set is then processed using a rule set to generate an outcome.

Abstract: A method for multi-source cloud-infrastructure vulnerability management includes receiving cloud-element information related to a cloud-based element in a cloud environment. The method also includes receiving first vulnerability information from a first vulnerability source and receiving second vulnerability information from a second vulnerability source. Cloud-element context information is also received about the cloud-based element from the cloud environment. A multiple-source vulnerability database is then generated from both the first vulnerability information and from the second vulnerability information. The cloud-element information and the cloud-element context information are then evaluated using the multiple-source vulnerability database to generate a vulnerability assessment.

Abstract: A cloud-based operating-system-event and data-access monitoring method includes collecting event information from a monitored cloud-based element. One or more structured event payloads based on the event information is then generated. The structured event payloads that produce one or more validated event collections are then validated. The one or more validated event collections are then serialized and filtered to remove redundant structured event payload data. The filtered validated structured event payloads are then de-serialized to produce a time-sequenced, ordered event stream. The time-sequenced, ordered event stream is de-duplicated to remove duplicate structured event payloads. The time-sequenced ordered event stream is then processed to generate processed information security results.
