Abstract: A rogue Wi-Fi 6E access points are identified by on-wire data traffic of authorized Wi-Fi 6E access points. Data traffic is monitored across all access points for the rogue Wi-Fi 6E access points according to an SSID/BSSID scan table. In response, modified CSA values are sent from spoofed action frames that have a source BSSID of the rogue access points rather than the authenticated access point that transmits.

At runtime, intelligent decision are made about which overlay path to select and when for the new flow over a control plane of the SD-WAN, based on the topology of the remote network edge and the local SDWAN policy, and to build the selected overlay path.

Abstract: Systems and methods for facilitating traffic steering via an SRv6 network by SD-WAN CE nodes without requiring the SD-WAN CE nodes to have SRv6 routing capabilities is provided. According to one embodiment, an end-to-end SRv6 tunnel is established through the SRv6 network between a source SD-WAN CE node associated with a first LAN and a destination SD-WAN CE node associated with a second LAN. LAN-side traffic originated by the first LAN and destined for the second LAN is received by the source SD-WAN CE node. Based on the LAN-side traffic, the source SD-WAN CE node, may encapsulate the LAN-side traffic as payload of an IPv6 packet, including incorporating path information within an IPv6 SRH to instruct PE/P nodes of the SRv6 network how to steer the IPv6 packet through the SRv6 network. Forwarding the encapsulated LAN-side traffic by the SD-WAN CE node through the SRv6 network via the SRv6 tunnel.

Abstract: Systems and methods for providing selective data-replication among nodes of a distributed multi-tenancy MSSP architecture for performing secure orchestration and automated response (SOAR) are provided. According to one embodiment a master SOAR node of an MSSP receives multiple messages via a secure router coupling a computing environment of the MSSP in communication with respective computing environments of multiple customers of the MSSP. The messages contain information regarding alerts relating to network infrastructure of the customers and the information is controlled by data sharing policies implemented by tenant SOAR nodes within the respective computing environments of the customers. Based on an investigation into an alert relating to a network infrastructure of a particular customer, the master SOAR node causes a workflow to be remotely executed by a tenant SOAR node within the computing environment of the particular customer.

Abstract: During an initial bootup in a bootloader of an SOC, a random number that is unique to the device is stored in secured storage. During a first bootup, a two-dimensional random key is stored in secure storage for encoding the ENV parameters. During a second (subsequent) bootup, the ENV parameters that are current in unsecured storage are compared against the ENV parameters that previously existed in order to identify a mismatch. A remediation security action can be taken responsive to a mismatch between the baseline digest and a dynamic digest. Ultimately, an operating system can be loaded in the bootloader.

Abstract: Groups of Wi-Fi 7 stations are created including identifying Wi-Fi 7 stations accessing the channel for multimedia traffic and creating a group of stations accessing the channel for multimedia traffic. Responsive to reaching the threshold usage for channel usage, a high usage priority mode is activated to prioritize multimedia traffic. In high usage priority mode, notifying the group of Wi-Fi 7 stations of EDCA channel contention parameters using broadcast, management action frame, including notifying the group of multimedia Wi-Fi 7 stations. Values of EDCA parameters in the broadcast management action frame for the at least one multimedia group are modified during high usage to allow more aggressive contention to the at least one multimedia group with multimedia traffic.

Abstract: Systems and methods for identifying a source of an attack chain based on network security scanning events triggered by movement of a decoy file are provided. A decoy file is stored on a deception host deployed by a deception-based intrusion detection system (IDS) within a private network. The decoy file contains therein a traceable object that is detectable by network security scanning performed by multiple network security devices protecting the private network. Information regarding an attack chain associated with an access to the decoy file or a transmission of the decoy file through the one or more network security devices is received by the deception-based IDS from the one or more network security devices. The information is created responsive to detection of a security incident by the network security scanning. Finally, an Internet Protocol (IP) address of a computer system that originated the attack chain is determined.

Responsive to reaching the threshold usage detection, a puncturing pattern is activated to transmit data frames over the remaining channel transmission bandwidth while continuing to transmit management frames over the primary channel transmission bandwidth. Responsive to reaching the threshold usage detection, data packets are separated using RU allocations for multiple wireless clients over the remaining channel transmission bandwidth. Data packets are then transmitted according to bandwidth limitations and spectral limitations.
