  • Network security policies using custom attributes
    Patent number: 10574701
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method is provided for a security platform to implement network service policies based on custom attributes assigned to endpoints. An attribute agent on the security platform monitors at least one custom attribute and corresponding attribute value associated with endpoints. The security platform generates a host map associating a network address of each endpoint with one or more of the custom attributes and corresponding attribute values. The security platform determines network access policies based on at least one custom attribute and corresponding attribute value. The security platform generates an access control list based on the network access policies and the host map, and implements the access control list to control network traffic between the endpoints.
