Abstract: Autoencoder-based anomaly detection methods have been used in identifying anomalous users from large-scale enterprise logs with the assumption that adversarial activities do not follow past habitual patterns. Most existing approaches typically build models by reconstructing single-day and individual-user behaviors. However, without capturing long-term signals and group-correlation signals, the models cannot identify low-signal yet long-lasting threats, and will incorrectly report many normal users as anomalies on busy days, which, in turn, leads to a high false positive rate. A method is provided based on compound behavior, which takes into consideration long-term patterns and group behaviors. The provided method leverages a novel behavior representation and an ensemble of deep autoencoders and produces an ordered investigation list.

Abstract: Embodiments pertain to facilitation of live migration of a virtual machine in a network system. During live migration, a first appliance is cloned and state information directed to a first network flow is obtained. The state information is utilized by the cloned appliance to re-direct operations associated with the first network flow. At such time as the first network flow is terminated, the cloned is removed.

Abstract: “Multi-tenant awareness” is added to a set of one or more packet processing devices in a Software Defined Network (SDN) having a controller. For each of one or more tenants, information in a table associates network protocol address attributes with an Internet Protocol (IP) address unique to the tenant. The table is associated with a multiple-layer translation layer being managed by the SDN controller. As a data packet traverses the translation layer, network protocol address attributes are translated according to values in the table to enable logical routing of the packet (to a given PPD. This translation occurs dynamically (or “on-the-fly”) as packets are “on route” to their destination. By implementing a multi-layer network address translation (NAT), one layer may be used to translate network protocol address source attributes, while a second layer may be used to translate network protocol address destination attributes.

Abstract: Embodiment pertain to facilitation of live migration of a virtual machine in a network system. The network system includes a first host, a second host, a first appliance for providing service to the first host, a second appliance for providing service to the second host, and a third appliance. At least one virtual machine is disposed on the first host and has an ongoing first network flow. The first appliance has generated state information about the first network flow. During the migration of the at least one virtual machine to the second host, the third appliance obtains a copy of the state information about the first network flow; and the third appliance takes over from the first appliance to serve the first network flow during the migration of the at least one virtual machine, until the first network flow is terminated.
