Abstract: Systems and methods for cloud-based policy enforcement and risk controls based on geopolitical insights include ingesting external data feeds from a plurality of sources, the external data feeds providing information indicative of geopolitical factors; analyzing the ingested data to classify one or more geographic regions, networks, or user populations into risk categories; determining, for each tenant of the cloud-based system, a level of acceptable risk tolerance that defines actions to be taken upon assignment of a particular risk category to a region or user population; and applying, based on the determined risk tolerance and assigned risk category, one or more adaptive cybersecurity controls.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to systems and methods for in-transit protocol translation. Specifically, various approaches are described for translating protocols for intermediate networks in a way by which there is no need of support for encapsulation/decapsulation at the end hosts and does not require any changes to end hosts or transit networks. Various embodiments include intercepting traffic between one or more source client devices and a transit network; detecting a first communication protocol used by the one or more source client devices in the traffic; translating the traffic from the first communication protocol to a second communication protocol; and forwarding the traffic to the transit network using the second communication protocol.

Abstract: Systems and methods for generating sub-identities for workloads in a cloud-based system. Various embodiments include receiving a key from an external system; generating one or more sub-identities from the key; assigning the one or more sub-identities to one or more workloads; and enforcing policies on the one or more workloads and traffic associated therewith based on the one or more sub-identities.

Abstract: The present invention provides systems and methods for cellular network performance monitoring and optimization, enabling SIM-based devices to dynamically adapt to changing network conditions for improved connectivity. The invention introduces a process that includes determining baseline path performance through detailed probing of network metrics, continuously assessing current path performance via real-time monitoring, and instructing the SIM to switch from its current connected mobile network carrier to an alternate carrier when predefined performance thresholds are not met. Switching instructions are securely delivered Over-The-Air (OTA) to the SIM, ensuring seamless transitions to the most efficient and reliable network path. The system leverages both active and passive application layer observations to optimize latency, throughput, and reliability while supporting diverse applications, including IoT devices, industrial systems, and consumer devices.

Abstract: Systems and methods include obtaining log data for a plurality of users of an enterprise where the log data relates to usage of a plurality of applications by the plurality of users; determining i) app-segments that are groupings of application of the plurality of applications and ii) user-groups that are groupings of users of the plurality of users; and providing access policy of the plurality of applications based on the user-groups and the app-segments. The steps can further include monitoring the access policy over time based on ongoing log data, manual verification of the access policy, and incidents where users are prevented from accessing any application; and adjusting the determined based on the monitoring.

Abstract: Systems and methods for determining and assigning identities to workloads in a cloud-based system. Various embodiments include monitoring traffic in a cloud-based system; extracting identification information from one or more payloads originating from one or more workloads operating in the cloud-based system; assigning an identity to each of the one or more workloads based on the identification information; and enforcing policies on the one or more workloads and traffic associated therewith based on the assigned identity.

Abstract: Systems and methods for selectively exposing Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) dynamically and in a scalable manner include, when a new API is exposed in a microservice, making it accessible via a gateway if it is indicated to be exposed. The present disclosure focused on exposing a range of services behind the API gateway in a scalable, easy to use manner. The present disclosure includes an API gateway that supports a new microservice easily and efficiently as long as it provides metadata. The API gateway dynamically decides which APIs will be exposed via the gateway with filtering per service. Also, the API gateway routes any request made by a user to the gateway back to the intended microservice in a transparent fashion, as well as performing any additional transformations of the request before sending it back to the microservice.

Abstract: Systems and methods for limiting calls to access a cloud-based system are disclosed. The systems and methods obtain a rate limiting policy including at least one attribute and a counting interval, the at least one attribute including at least one of a username associated with a client, an instance, an organization associated with the client, a resource being requested, a service being requested, a geographical access region, and an Application Programming Interface (API) being requested. The systems and methods also mark an entry, based on the rate limiting policy, in a database for each call the client makes. The systems and methods further enforce the rate liming policy by not processing calls from the client associated with the at least one attribute that are made for a count of calls marked that is beyond the counting interval.
