  • Patent number: 11075886
    Abstract: Methods and systems are disclosed that provide in-session splitting of network traffic sessions for monitoring of traffic between network clients and network servers. This in-session splitting is based upon monitoring traffic sessions for one or more events and then initiating a proxied session based upon detection of the one or more events. For further embodiments, the creation of the proxied session is implemented based upon detection of a request for a secure link within the session traffic, and the proxied session is then implemented such that original session participants are not aware of the proxied session. The encrypted secure communications between the network client and the network server are split into two connections that decrypted and re-encrypted so that the contents of the secure link can be analyzed to identify network threats and/or other desired network related activities.

  • Patent number: 10171425
    Abstract: Methods and systems are disclosed that provide active firewall control for network traffic sessions within virtual processing platforms. Client agent instances run within virtual machine (VM) platforms (e.g., hypervisor, container, etc.) within virtual processing environments and enforce access, proxy, and/or other firewall rules with respect to network traffic sessions for application instances also running within the VM platforms. For certain embodiments, the agent instances collect information about applications and services running within the VM platforms and use this collected information to automatically enforce firewall rules. Additional disclosed embodiments redirect packets from “bad” network sources to a proxied application instance that interacts with the “bad” network source. This proxied interaction allows an agent instance monitoring the proxied session to analyze and assess the actual activity by the “bad” network source without putting the original data or network service at risk.

  • Patent number: 5960404
    Abstract: A mechanism for heterogeneous, peer-to-peer, and disconnected workflow execution across a network infrastructure. Performer Agent entities provide a homogeneous view of humans, applications, and heterogeneous workflow systems and components that act as Performers on the network by executing Tasks. Source Agent entities provide a homogeneous view of heterogeneous service requesters such as workflow scripts executing on different workflow systems, which generate Activities that need to execute on Performers as Tasks. Task Request and Task Response messages are used to standardize the communication between Source Agents and Performer Agents, along with other messages for controlling and queuing Tasks. Workflow systems interact with each other as peers using this mechanism by sending workflow execution requests, workflow script templates, and workflow execution environments to each other.
