  • Patent number: 12155549
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are methods, systems, and processes for centralized containerized deployment of network traffic sensors to network sensor hosts for deep packet inspection (DPI) that supports various other cybersecurity operations. A network sensor package containing a pre-configured network sensor container is received by a network sensor host from a network sensor deployment server. Installation of the network sensor package on the network sensor host causes execution of the network sensor container that further causes deployment of an on-premise network sensor along with a network sensor management system, a DPI system, and an intrusion detection/prevention (IDS/IPS) system. The configurable on-premise network sensor is deployed on multiple operating system distributions of the network sensor host and generates actionable network metadata using DPI techniques for optimized log search and management and improved intrusion detection and response (IDR) operations.

  • Publication number: 20240370292
    Abstract: Various embodiments include systems and methods pertaining to a network sensor host configured to implement a receive side scaling (RSS) configuration component in a security environment. The RSS configuration component may be used to automatically generate an RSS configuration comprising one or more settings customized for the network sensor host based at least in part on hardware information of the network sensor host. In some embodiments, the RSS configuration may be applied to change settings of a network interface driver of the network sensor host, e.g., to implement RSS and multithreading for network sensor tasks.
