  • Publication number: 20260203435
    Abstract: One or more data catalogs of a plurality of data catalogs that are relevant to a prompt are determined. The one or more determined data catalogs are utilized to locate one or more data files and applying one or more security policies to the one or more data files to determine one or more of the data files to which a user associated with the prompt is permitted to access. A query response is generated utilizing the one or more of the data files to which the user associated with the prompt is permitted to access.

  • Publication number: 20240348627
    Abstract: Techniques for an Application Access Analyzer are disclosed. In some embodiments, a system/process/computer program product for an Application Access Analyzer includes monitoring access to an application over a network; automatically determining a root cause of an issue (e.g., an anomaly in network connectivity, performance degradation, and/or a permission denial and/or policy blocking) associated with the access to the application over the network for a user (e.g., or a group of users) using an application access analyzer; and performing an action in response to determining the root cause of the issue associated with the access to the application over the network.

  • Publication number: 20170339053
    Abstract: According to one embodiment, a method includes receiving, by a first edge device at a first site, a first site overlay control plane message including control plane information. The first edge device translates the first site overlay control plane message into a core overlay control plane message. The first edge device sends the core overlay control plane message over a core network to a second edge device at a second site.
