Abstract: Systems and methods for traffic inspection using payload offsets include performing inline monitoring between one or more endpoints and the internet; receiving a payload based on the inline monitoring; and performing traffic inspection of the payload based on one or more inspection offset values, wherein the one or more inspection offset values define one or more points within the payload for inspection to begin.

Abstract: Systems and methods for probability-based inline rule inspection include performing inline monitoring between one or more endpoints and the internet; receiving a payload based on the inline monitoring; and performing traffic inspection of the payload based on one or more rules, wherein each of the one or more rules are inspected based on a probability assigned thereto, and wherein the probability assigned to each of the one or more rules can be a function of an execution time of each of the one or more rules and a historic effectiveness of each of the one or more rules.

Abstract: Systems and methods for policy based traffic inspection in zero trust private networks. Various embodiments include receiving a request for a workload; analyzing one or more criteria associated with the request; determining an inspection profile to utilize for the request based on the analyzing of the one or more criteria; applying the inspection profile to the request; and inspecting traffic associated with the request based on the inspection profile.

Abstract: Systems and methods for providing interactive visualizations of traffic characteristics within a network include determining, for one or more applications associated with a tenant of a cloud-based system, application information associated with each of the one or more applications; providing, via a Graphical User Interface (GUI), an interactive visualization of the application information associated with each of the one or more applications; and responsive to one or more selections being made via the interactive visualization, enabling one or more cloud-based security functions based on the one or more selections.

Abstract: Systems and methods for a dynamically reconfigurable traffic inspection pipeline in zero trust networks. Methods include steps of intercepting traffic traversing through a zero trust network to a destination; determining one or more traffic inspection stages to utilize for inspecting the traffic based on the characteristics of the traffic; creating a traffic inspection pipeline including the one or more traffic inspection stages; and performing the one or more traffic inspection stages on the traffic through the traffic inspection pipeline. The steps can include dynamically adding or removing traffic inspection stages in the traffic inspection pipeline after performing a traffic inspection stage.

Abstract: Systems and methods for active directory security enforcement and threat insights on zero trust networks include performing inline monitoring of traffic associated with a plurality of tenants of the cloud-based system; classifying the traffic as being associated with any of one or more active directory protocols; inspecting the traffic associated with the one or more detected active directory protocols; and performing one or more actions on the traffic based on the inspecting.

Abstract: Systems and methods for active directory protection in zero trust networks. In an embodiment, steps include performing inline monitoring of traffic associated with a cloud-based system; detecting one or more active directory protocols based on the inline monitoring; classifying the traffic as being associated with any of the one or more active directory protocols; inspecting the traffic associated with the one or more detected active directory protocols; and generating one or more active directory logs based on the inspecting and classifying.

Abstract: A computer network device (such as an access point, a switch or a router) that has multiple user interfaces is described. During operation, the computer network device may execute program instructions for the user interfaces and a shared messaging module, where a given user interface includes an agent corresponding to an application. When a message associated with the application is received via a user interface in the user interfaces, the corresponding agent in the user interface may extract a command or operation from the message. Then, the shared messaging module may translate the command or operation into a common format of the application. Moreover, the shared messaging module may provide (or route) the translated command or operation addressed to the application via a single communication path associated with the application and the agents for the application in the user interfaces.
