Abstract: Systems, methods, and apparatus related to network security. In one approach, various endpoint devices communicate with a network gateway and/or API mode CASB over one or more networks. All communications by the endpoint devices with remote servers and clouds pass through the network gateway (and/or by cloud service access when using an API mode CASB). The gateway and/or CASB gathers metadata from the endpoint devices and/or network devices. The metadata indicates characteristics of the communications by the endpoint devices on the networks and/or processes running on the endpoint devices. The gateway and/or CASB identifies security risks using at least the metadata, and in response dynamically performs remediation actions for one or more of the networks in real-time to limit or block propagation of a cyber attack associated with one or more of the identified security risks.

Abstract: A system and method are disclosed associated with a cloud platform as a service provider. A monitoring agent, associated with a database service instance running on a client database virtual machine, periodically executes a performance throttling detection engine. The performance throttling detection engine gathers database statistics based on metrics and features of the database service using a rule-based approach. When it is determined that a pre-determined condition is met, the system may transmit the gathered database statistics to an external application. For example, the external application might comprise a database tuning service and the pre-determined condition may be associated with a decision that the database service may potentially need to tune knob configuration parameters (associated with memory knobs, background writer knobs, asynchronous knobs, etc.).
