Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer program products for securing deployments using command analytics are provided herein. A computer-implemented method includes collecting command sequences sent from one or more applications to one or more of a distributed group of multiple devices within a network; detecting one or more invalid command sequences and/or one or more out-of-sequence command sequences among the collected command sequences, wherein said detecting comprises comparing the collected command sequences against a repository of historical data of valid command sequences pertaining to the distributed group of multiple devices within the network; generating an alert upon a determination that one of the collected command sequences does not match an entry in the repository; and performing one or more remedial actions based on the generated alert.

Abstract: A blockchain configuration may be used to store a distributed ledger for information security and accessibility. One example method of operation may include one or more of receiving a request to obtain content from a buyer device, transmitting the request to a registered seller device associated with the content, receiving payment confirmation associated with the content on a blockchain, retrieving an encryption key associated with the content from the blockchain, transmitting the encryption key associated with the content to the buyer device, and based on the encryption key, transmitting the content outside the blockchain to the buyer device.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer program products for providing restricted access to given devices by constructing abstract devices are provided herein. A method includes generating a virtual device based on one or more physical devices; mapping multiple device actions of the one or more physical devices to multiple device actions of the virtual device exposed by the virtual device; incorporating (i) discretionary access control techniques, (ii) policy-based access control techniques, and (iii) a physical device-level partial ordering of actions to determine a resolution in response to a set of multiple user access requests for two or more of the multiple device actions of the virtual device; and executing the two or more device actions of the virtual device on the virtual device for one or more given users in accordance with said resolution by coordinating the execution of two or more corresponding device actions of the one or more physical devices on the one or more physical devices based on said mapping.

Abstract: Methods and arrangements for according access of a mobile device to an enterprise network. the presence of a mobile device relative to an enterprise network is detected, the enterprise network including a plurality of defined zones, wherein each zone is associated with a security level and with one or more resources. An agent of the mobile device is negotiated with to accord access to at least one of the defined zones. The negotiating includes: assessing at least one security constraint relative to the mobile device; and thereupon designating at least one zone to be accessible to the mobile device. Other variants and embodiments are broadly contemplated herein.
