  • Publication number: 20260135851
    Abstract: Novel tools and techniques are provided for implementing network service ordering and provisioning of secure access service edge (“SASE”) software packages. In various embodiments, a computing system may provide a user experience (“UX”) platform for a customer portal, the UX platform being accessible by a user via a user device over a first network(s); may provide, via the UX platform, options to configure, via the customer portal, one or more SASE-based network services among a plurality of network services provided by a service provider; and may autonomously orchestrate deployment and configuration of the one or more SASE-based network services via one or more customer premises equipment (“CPE”) that are associated with the user or to an entity with which the user is associated, over a second network(s), based at least in part on user selection of at least one option to configure the one or more SASE-based network services.

  • Publication number: 20260006030
    Abstract: Novel tools and techniques are provided for implementing network service ordering and provisioning of secure access service edge (“SASE”) scriptlets for providing SASE-based network. In various embodiments, a computing system may provide a user experience (“UX”) platform for a customer portal, the UX platform being accessible by a user via a user device over a first network(s); may provide, via the UX platform, options to configure, via the customer portal, one or more SASE scriptlets for providing SASE-based network services provided by a service provider; and may autonomously orchestrate deployment and configuration of the one or more SASE scriptlets on one or more network devices that are associated with the user or to an entity with which the user is associated, over a second network(s), based at least in part on user selection of options to configure the one or more SASE scriptlets and/or the corresponding SASE-based network services.

  • Publication number: 20250317420
    Abstract: Novel tools and techniques are provided for implementing security fabric platform network services architecture and functionalities. In various embodiments, at least one VM among a plurality of virtual machines (“VMs”) that is hosted on a security fabric platform includes dual network interface controllers (“NICs”) or virtual NICs (“VNICs”). A request to perform a set of tasks may be routed to a VM of the plurality of VMs via one of the NICs or VNICs. Two or more VMs and/or one or more containers hosted on the security fabric platform and/or on one or more worker nodes may be service chained from one to another of the NICs or VNICs of the VMs and/or containers. Results of the set of tasks as processed by virtual or cloud-native network functions may be routed via a firewall, via network address translation, from and to a destination network address associated with a destination device.

  • Publication number: 20250317367
    Abstract: Novel tools and techniques are provided for implementing visualization for network services and their relationships with end-users, service locations, and other network services. In various examples, a computing system may collect, from one or more databases, information regarding one or more network services provided by a service provider. The information may include at least one of end-user information, service-specific information, service location information, or contact information, and/or the like. The computing system may identify information objects and their relationships by analyzing the collected information. The computing system may generate a graphical representation of the information objects and their relationships, and may generate a user interface (“UI”) for presenting the generated graphical representation, and may display, on a display screen of a user device, the UI to a user.
