  • NETWORK SECURITY PATH IDENTIFICATION AND VALIDATION
    Publication number: 20230291736
    Abstract: Embodiments herein may relate to a technique for identification and verification of compliance with one or more pre-defined security policy sets for a network. Specifically, embodiments may include generation of an access control graph (ACG) that relates to the network. One or more paths of the ACG may be identified, and then compared against the pre-defined security policy sets. Other embodiments may be described or claimed.

  • MULP: a multi-layer approach to ACL pruning
    Patent number: 11533337
    Abstract: Disclosed embodiments are a computing system and a computer-implemented method related to minimizing the number of rules/policies needed to be stored to enforce those rules/policies. The minimizing comprising generating adjacency data structures mapping as adjacent pairs of network nodes, which are allowed to communicate with one another according to the plurality rules, and applying them for pruning the rule dataset. This allows an original set of rules/policies to be reduced into a smaller set, which conserves computational resources.
    Type: Grant

  • Group optimization for network communications
    Patent number: 11245729
    Abstract: Disclosed embodiments are related to grouping sets of intercommunicating objects to minimize the number of rules/policies needed to be stored to enforce those rules/policies. Given a set of objects communicating with each other using different services, embodiments group these objects to minimize the total number of final rules that are implemented. This allows an original set of policies to be reduced into a smaller set of policies, which conserves computational resources. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.
