  • Dynamically applying application security settings and policies based on workload properties
    Patent number: 11120148
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and apparatuses enable a security orchestrator to detect a virtual machine deployed in a virtual environment. The virtual machine includes a tag storing information associated with the virtual machine. The security orchestrator determines that the tag contains one or more security elements, the security elements indicating information for determining security settings and policies to be applied to the virtual machine. The security orchestrator determines the security settings and policies associated with the one or more security elements. The security orchestrator then assigns or applies the security settings and policies for the virtual machine based on values of the one or more security elements.

  • Systems and methods for managing endpoints and security policies in a networked environment
    Patent number: 10944723
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and apparatuses enable deploying and executing a security policy on endpoints in a network. In an embodiment, a security orchestrator determines a set of endpoints in a network and determines transformed endpoints from the determined set of endpoints through an endpoint transformation process. The security orchestrator determines a connectivity vector for at least a first transformed endpoint and a second transformed endpoint, where the connectivity vector includes properties associated with the corresponding transformed endpoint. Using the properties from the connectivity vector of the first transformed endpoint, a security policy is generated and deployed to the first transformed endpoint. Based on a comparison of the connectivity vectors of the first and second transformed endpoints indicating a similarity between the first and second transformed endpoints, the security policy is further deployed to the second transformed endpoint.
