  • Patent number: 10225284
    Abstract: Techniques of obfuscation for enterprise data center services are disclosed. In one embodiment, the techniques may be realized as a system for obfuscation comprising one or more processors. The one or more processors may be configured to receive a command from at least one of a user and an application and determine whether the command is authorized. If the command is determined to be unauthorized, the one or more processors may be further configured to generate a rewritten output of the command that is different from an original output of the command and return the rewritten output in response to the command.

  • Patent number: 9794275
    Abstract: Methods, computer program products, computer systems, and the like, which provide security in cloud-based services using lightweight replicas, are disclosed. The methods, computer program products, computer systems, and the like include detecting an intrusion into an application server, dynamically provisioning a replica application server in a server system in response to the detecting the intrusion, and transitioning a datastream from the application server to the replica application server, where the application server is provisioned in the server system, the intrusion is an attack on the application server, and the attack is conducted via a datastream between a first computing system and the application server. The replica application server is a replica of at least a portion of the application server.

  • Patent number: 9135293
    Abstract: A system and method for determining the model information of a device. A mapping database that maps a plurality of network device identifiers of a set of devices to model information of the devices may be automatically created. A request to determine model information of an unknown based on a network device identifier of the unknown device may then be received. The database may be analyzed to determine the model information of the unknown device. For example, the model information of the unknown device may be determined by extrapolating it based on the network device identifier of the device and the database information.
