Abstract: Clusters of resources at network edges are administered using a control plane that issues commands to those resources. A command sent to cause a resource to perform a function specifies a target state for the resource. The command may be modified, or an alternate command may be generated, based on the characteristics of the resource, which may enable a single command to be used to cause multiple types of resources to perform a function. Based on the characteristics of the resource or of the function, a different target state, and in some cases intermediate states that may occur before the target state, may be determined. As the resource performs the function, telemetry data is received. The current state of the resource determined from the telemetry data is compared to the valid intermediate and target states, and output indicating the states of the resource as valid or erroneous is generated.

Abstract: To protect a dataset with low overhead, a cybersecurity appliance uses multiple structures to facilitate efficient matching (“matching infrastructure”) when applying data leakage prevention rules. The cybersecurity appliance creates the matching infrastructure in advance from scanning the dataset to be protected. The cybersecurity appliance creates the matching infrastructure with differentiation among tokens occurring in the dataset at different frequencies: unique, infrequent or rare, and frequent. The differentiation of tokens into different classes of frequency of occurrence within the dataset allows efficient matching with a bias towards the less frequently occurring tokens which are more likely the tokens that are sensitive while still allowing efficient matching of frequent tokens that form a restricted data pattern of a DLP rule.
