Publication number: 20240291802Abstract: 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.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 1, 2024Publication date: August 29, 2024Inventors: Daniel Richard Cook, Anish Vinodkumar Desai, Thomas Michael McCormick

Publication number: 20240281118Abstract: An apparatus for investigating an analyzable incident over a time period, having a database that stores data sets containing events about the incident with a timestamp, source, and content. A data processing computer operates on these data sets. A display module, connected to the computer, displays a GUI that allows a user to select and annotate events. The GUI includes a control panel and an event visualization panel that display a source-event view or a timeline view. The GUI receives timeline events from the database, each with a timestamp. The timeline view displays a timeline flowchart and a time-series graph, both chronologically aligned. The flowchart shows events along a time axis, with user-selectable icons representing each event. The GUI also receives an incident time series and displays a line graph based on datapoints within the timeline window. Variable values corresponding to each event are observable on the line graph.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 2, 2024Publication date: August 22, 2024Inventors: John Allspaw, Richard Cook, Christopher Fairbanks
