  • Patent number: 11438384
    Abstract: An aggregated networking device subsystem station move control system includes first and second aggregated networking devices connected via an ICL. The first aggregated networking device receives a MAC address from the second aggregated networking device that was learned on an orphan port that has port security enabled and a station-move-deny configuration, and generates a static MAC address entry in its MAC address table that associates the MAC address with the ICL. The static MAC address entry causes data packets received on non-ICL ports on the first aggregated networking device that include the MAC address to generate a static MAC move violation. The first aggregated networking device also programs rule(s) that, in response to data packets being received on its non-ICL ports that have port security disabled and generating a static MAC move violation, causes the association of the MAC address with that non-ICL port.

  • Patent number: 11431741
    Abstract: The present disclosure describes a system, method, and computer program for detecting unmanaged and unauthorized assets on an IT network by identifying anomalously-named assets. A recurrent neural network (RNN) is trained to identify patterns in asset names in a network. The RNN learns the character distribution patterns of the names of all observed assets in the training data, effectively capturing the hidden naming structures followed by a majority of assets on the network. The RNN is then used to identify assets with names that deviate from the hidden naming structures. Specifically, the RNN is used to measure the reconstruction errors of input asset name strings. Asset names with high reconstruction errors are anomalous since they cannot be explained by learned naming structures. After filtering for attributes or circumstances that mitigate risk, such assets are associated with a higher cybersecurity risk.

  • Patent number: 11405357
    Abstract: An Internet of Things (IoT) protection service at the network level is described. A secure session is established between an edge server and an IoT client that is requesting to send data to an IoT device. The edge server receives the request from the IoT client over the secure session instead of the IoT device directly because a Domain Name System (DNS) request for a unique fully qualified domain name assigned to the IoT device returns an IP address of the edge server instead of an IP address of the IoT device. The edge server analyzes the request to determine whether to transmit the request to the IoT device, including applying web application firewall rule(s) against the request. If the request does not trigger any rule, then the edge server transmits the request to the IoT device. If the request triggers any rule, then the edge server blocks the request.
