  • Publication number: 20230353540
    Abstract: A segmentation firewall executing on a host enforces a segmentation policy. In a co-existence mode, the segmentation firewall operates in co-existence with a system firewall that enforces a security policy. The segmentation firewall is configured to either drop packets that do not match any permissive rule or pass packets that match a permissive rule to the system firewall to enable the system firewall to determine whether to drop or accept the passed packets. To enable efficient operation of the segmentation firewall when operating in co-existence with the system firewall, the segmentation firewall may include a plurality of rule chains and may be configured to exit a chain and bypass remaining rule chains upon an input packet matching a permissive rule of the segmentation policy.

  • Patent number: 11734053
    Abstract: A computer implemented method manages access to resources of a cloud platform. The method includes retrieving, at a computing device of the cloud platform, context data and load policies for a requestor and an identified resource, combining, by the computing device, loaded policies with context data into a combined data structure, evaluating, by the computing device, a resource request and apply policies for requestor based on role of requestor using the combined data structure, generating, by the computing device, resource permissions for the requestor, and returning, by the computing device, resource permissions to the requestor.

  • Publication number: 20230049160
    Abstract: An allocator tool represents work items in project. Work items may have an associated ID, status, cross-reference to child tasks to be complete before a work item may be complete, a child status of what resource the child is assigned, a sequence ID to indicate in which order a resource is going to work on a work items, and an expectation of how long it will take to do each work item. A calendar aspect of the allocator tool may track when work items are to be performed. Calendar entries may employ formulas/logic/AI to determine whether or not on that date for that work item a resource will be working on a task. Calendar gaps (idle time) may be identified and work items rearranged or reassigned to minimize gaps. Artificial Intelligence may perform calendar gap identification and remediation.

  • Patent number: 11575588
    Abstract: A traffic control and monitoring module includes a firewall operating in a container namespace that is configured to control and monitor traffic to and from a container in the container namespace. The traffic control and monitoring module reports detected traffic to a traffic flow reporting module operating in a host namespace of the host operating system. The traffic control and monitoring module obtains traffic flows associated with a plurality of containers in different container namespaces and reports the traffic flows to a segmentation policy. Based on the reported traffic flows, the segmentation server may update a segmentation policy to improve network security.

  • Patent number: 10956506
    Abstract: Techniques for query-based data modification are described herein. In some examples, a first search of searchable data may be performed based, at least in part, on a first query. A second search of the searchable data may be performed based, at least in part, on a second query. One or more results of the first search may be provided. Input may be received for associating a first result of the first search with the second search. At least a first modification, related to the input, to perform on the searchable data may then be determined. The first modification may then be performed on the searchable data.

  • Patent number: 10805166
    Abstract: An enforcement mechanism on an operating system instance enforces a segmentation policy on a container. A configuration generation module executing in a host namespace of the operating system instance receives management instructions from a segmentation server for enforcing the segmentation policy on a container. The configuration generation module executes in the host namespace to configure a traffic control and monitoring module in a container namespace associated with the container. The traffic control and monitoring module in the container namespace controls and monitors communications to and from the container in accordance with its configuration. By executing a configuration generation module in the host namespace to configure traffic control and monitoring module in the container namespace, the enforcement mechanism beneficially enables robust and lightweight enforcement in a manner that is agnostic to different containerization protocols.
