  • Patent number: 10880332
    Abstract: Methods and systems for configuring security management settings within an enterprise network are disclosed. One method includes receiving network concordance data at an enterprise security management configuration tool from a plurality of nodes within an enterprise network, and, based on the network concordance data, classifying each of the plurality of nodes based on an affinitization between the two or more nodes. The method also includes defining a profile for one or more nodes or grouped nodes, and defining one or more solutions within the enterprise security management configuration tool, the one or more solutions each including one or more nodes of the plurality of nodes. The method also includes receiving a deployment selection identifying at least one of the one or more solutions, and, in response to the deployment selection, generating a security settings file describing security settings for each of the one or more nodes.

  • Publication number: 20200252411
    Abstract: Methods and systems for monitoring network data packets within a secure network are described. One method includes receiving, at a consumer endpoint, a data packet from a second endpoint, the data packet being encrypted with an encryption key associated with a packet auditing community of interest and having a routing header appended thereto, the routing header identifying the consumer endpoint. The method includes decrypting the data packet using the encryption key associated with the packet auditing community of interest, and removing at least a portion of the routing header identifying the consumer endpoint from the decrypted data packet. The method also includes performing at least one packet auditing operation on the decrypted data packet.

  • Patent number: 10652280
    Abstract: Methods and systems for configuring a security topology in an enterprise security management configuration tool are disclosed. One method includes manipulating an icon representing one or more nodes in a configuration user interface of an enterprise security management configuration tool to associate the one or more nodes into a manual grouping of nodes in an enterprise network; and, after manipulating the icon, selecting, from a tool palette of the configuration user interface, an automatic association tool, the automatic association tool determining an association among a plurality of nodes into a plurality of automated logical groupings of nodes. In some cases, the manual grouping of nodes is different from the plurality of automated logical groupings, and the automatic association tool preserves the manual grouping of nodes.

  • Patent number: 10158674
    Abstract: Methods and systems for assigning security settings to one or more nodes within an enterprise network are disclosed. One method includes receiving network concordance data at an enterprise security management configuration tool from a plurality of nodes within an enterprise network, and receiving, in a configuration user interface, a selection of an affinitization level selected from a plurality of discrete affinitization levels, each of the discrete affinitization levels corresponding to a different extent to which nodes within an enterprise are grouped into profiles. The method also includes automatically grouping each of the plurality of nodes identified in the network concordance data into a plurality of profiles based on the selected affinitization level, and applying a common security policy to each of the nodes included in one of the plurality of profiles.

  • Patent number: 9483639
    Abstract: A secure application system and method for a host computing device. The system includes an ultraboot application divides the host computing device into a resource management partition, at least one virtual service partition and at least one virtual guest partition. The virtual service partition provides a virtualization environment for the basic operations of the virtualization system. The virtual service partition is an isolated secure partition having a secure application executing therein. The isolated secure partition includes a security manifest portion for controlling the execution of the secure application within the isolated secure partition, and a secure application operating system (OS) portion that supports only the execution of the secure application within the isolated secure partition. The secure application is executed within the isolated secure partition without the need for any standard operating system (OS).
