  • Patent number: 11784999
    Abstract: Embodiments are directed to credential management for distributed services. A plurality of mesh agents for an overlay network may be provided such that the overlay network may be employed to provide a secure tunnel between a client and a resource server. If client request that requires user credentials is provided to a mesh agent associated with the resource server, credential instructions may be provided to the mesh agent and the credential instructions may be employed to determine credential information that enables access to the resource server. The mesh agent may be employed to communicate the client request and the credential information to the resource server; determining a response to the client request from the resource server; employing the mesh agent to receive a response to the client request from the resource server and forwarded to the client over the overlay network.

  • Patent number: 11765207
    Abstract: Embodiments are directed to declaring network policies using natural language. A policy statement for the management of the network resources may be generated based on a statement. A prompt dataset may be generated for large language models based on the policy statement and a prompt template. In response to providing the prompt dataset to train the large language models further actions may be performed, including: generating a candidate configuration profile based on information provided by the trained large language models such that the candidate configuration profile may include field names or field values that may be associated with providing the management of the network resources; in response to validation of the candidate configuration profile for the management of the network resources, the validated candidate configuration profile may be provided to an infrastructure security computer (ISC) such that the ISC updates network policies based on the validated candidate configuration profile.

  • Patent number: 11729620
    Abstract: Embodiments are directed to managing access to network resources. Mesh agents for an overlay network may be provided. If a client requests access to a resource, a first mesh agent configured to provide the client with ingress to the overlay network may be determined. If a security engine validates the request received from the first mesh agent, a route from the client to the resource may be determined. A secure tunnel may be generated between the first mesh agent and a last mesh agent based on forwarding the request to mesh agents on the route. If the request is provided to the last mesh agent credential information for the resource may be provided to the last mesh agent and the last mesh agent, the request and the credential information may be employed to access the resource.
