  • Patent number: 11870814
    Abstract: Systems and methods for a unified, cloud-managed platform for controlling enterprise network security are provided. According to one embodiment, a network of an enterprise is protected by a cloud-managed platform. An underlying architecture of the cloud-managed platform is abstracted by providing a portal through which modifications to security policies are expressed as business requirements of the enterprise. The security policies are automatically enforced regardless of location or endpoint. A policy digest, including information regarding the modifications and formatted according to a predefined format, generated and locally queued by the portal is retrieved.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 10826941
    Abstract: A method for protecting an enterprise network includes, at a system that is remote from the enterprise network: controlling communications to and from the enterprise network according to a set of security policies; controlling endpoint to endpoint connections within the enterprise network according to the set of security policies; receiving a request for modifications to the set of policies; automatically generating a policy digest formatted according to a predefined format, the policy digest comprising the modifications, and storing the policy digest in the memory; retrieving the policy digest from the memory; generating one or more calls to one or more system components that control the communications to and from the enterprise network and the endpoint to endpoint connections based on the policy digest; and modifying control of the communications and the endpoint to endpoint connections based on the one or more calls.
