Abstract: Techniques are described for providing a virtual private cloud in a multi-tenant environment. Embodiments receive a request specifying cloud-based computing resources hosted by one or more cloud providers to integrate into a virtual private cloud with enterprise computing resources, the resources within the virtual private cloud are communicatively coupled at a common logical network level. Embodiments provision a cloud network device to integrate the cloud-based computing resources into the virtual private cloud. Additionally, the enterprise network device is configured to associate the enterprise computing resources with the virtual private cloud. Network packets between applications running on the enterprise computing resources and applications running on the cloud-based computing resources are then forwarded over the common logical network.

Abstract: A method and system for protecting a packet switched network from compromised communications due to a physical intrusion in the network are disclosed. The network includes at least one network element having a detection device operable to detect a possible physical intrusion in a data communication path connected to the network element. The method includes receiving a notification from the detection device that the detection device has identified a physical intrusion in the data communication path, generating an alert, and transmitting the alert over the packet switched network. The alert may include instructions on how to remediate the physical intrusion that can be automatically implemented by a given network-connected device or manually addressed by a network user or network administrator.
