Publication number: 20220030034Abstract: A secure network device management system and method include monitoring and validating commands to network devices before such commands are executed. The security system accumulates inputs from a network device intended for display on a terminal and provided by the network device in response to inputs from the terminal and received by the network device. When a control input to execute the command is received from the terminal, the security system reproduces the command from the accumulated inputs and compares the reproduced command to a command list to determine whether the command is authorized. If so, the security system provides the control input to the network device such that the network device executes the command. Otherwise, the security system may delete the command and transmit an alert to the terminal.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 8, 2021Publication date: January 27, 2022Applicant: Level 3 Communications, LLCInventors: Thomas D.
