Abstract: Systems, devices, and methods are discussed for forward testing rule sets at a granularity that is less than all activity on the network. In some cases, the granularity is that of an individual application.

Abstract: Systems, devices, and methods are discussed for determining zero trust network access policy based upon intent defined groups of workloads.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and apparatuses enable one or more security microservices to optimize a security configuration of a networked environment by applying security policies to resource groups passively to determine whether network sets, resource groups, or security policies should be modified, prior to active enforcement. When security policies are applied passively, security actions that are performed in response to a violation of security policy do not impact network traffic. The one or more security microservices evaluate the results of the passive application of security policies to determine whether there is at least one recommended modification to network sets, resource groups, or security policies. When there is at least one recommended modification, the modification is applied.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and apparatuses enable a security orchestrator to detect a virtual machine deployed in a virtual environment. The virtual machine includes a tag storing information associated with the virtual machine. The security orchestrator determines that the tag contains one or more security elements, the security elements indicating information for determining security settings and policies to be applied to the virtual machine. The security orchestrator determines the security settings and policies associated with the one or more security elements. The security orchestrator then assigns or applies the security settings and policies for the virtual machine based on values of the one or more security elements.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and apparatuses enable deploying and executing a security policy on endpoints in a network. In an embodiment, a security orchestrator determines a set of endpoints in a network and determines transformed endpoints from the determined set of endpoints through an endpoint transformation process. The security orchestrator determines a connectivity vector for at least a first transformed endpoint and a second transformed endpoint, where the connectivity vector includes properties associated with the corresponding transformed endpoint. Using the properties from the connectivity vector of the first transformed endpoint, a security policy is generated and deployed to the first transformed endpoint. Based on a comparison of the connectivity vectors of the first and second transformed endpoints indicating a similarity between the first and second transformed endpoints, the security policy is further deployed to the second transformed endpoint.

Abstract: An example method includes capturing session attributes associated with a communication session initiated by a node in a network environment, querying external attributes associated with the node, deriving a response attribute according to an access control policy rule based on at least one of the session attributes and at least one of the external attributes, and applying the response attribute to the communication session. The session attributes can include remote authentication dial in user service RADIUS vendor specific attribute information from an unknown vendor. The method may further include auditing the communication session, enforcing the response attribute, or ignoring the access control policy. Enforcing the response attribute can include taking an access control action according to the response attribute. The access control action may include allowing the node to access a virtual local area network in the network environment, denying access to the network environment, etc.
