Abstract: Systems and methods for security and control of Internet of Things (IOT) and ZeroConf devices using cloud services. The present disclosure uses an application that runs on a user device in a promiscuous mode to look for potentially vulnerable and compromised machines on the local network. Specifically, the user device can fingerprint ZeroConf and IOT networks based on their static and dynamic behavior. The application discovers all hosts on the network and uses a cloud service such as via a cloud-based system to detect potentially malicious IOTs with known vulnerabilities. Based on an enterprise policy or user's preferences, the solution can alert if any IOT device tries to communicate with the user's device or if the user's device itself broadcasts services running on the device such as screen sharing/file sharing.

Abstract: A system validates the establishment and/or continuation of a connection between two applications over a network. The system uses network application security rules to allow or disallow connections between the two applications. Those rules include definitions of the source and destination applications to which the rules apply. The system automatically updates the application definitions over time to encompass new versions of the applications covered by the security rules, but without encompassing other applications. The system is then capable of applying the updated rules both to the original applications and to the updated versions of those applications. This process enables the security rules to maintain security over time in a way that is consistent with the original intent of the rules even as applications on the network evolve.

Abstract: Disclosed is a computer implemented method for malware detection that analyses a file on a per packet basis. The method receives a packet of one or more packets associated a file, and converting a binary content associated with the packet into a digital representation and tokenizing plain text content associated with the packet. The method extracts one or more n-gram features, an entropy feature, and a domain feature from the converted content of the packet and applies a trained machine learning model to the one or more features extracted from the packet. The output of the machine learning method is a probability of maliciousness associated with the received packet. If the probability of maliciousness is above a threshold value, the method determines that the file associated with the received packet is malicious.
