  • Patent number: 11290322
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are methods, systems, and processes for performing honeypot asset cloning in cybersecurity computing environments. A computing asset and associated configuration information is identified along with configuration requirements for a honeypot. The configuration is modified to generate replication configuration information based partly on the configuration requirements. The replication configuration information is deployed in the network. A request to manage a configuration deployment in the network is received. In response to the request, the computing asset is configured based on the configuration information and the honeypot is generated based on the replication configuration information. The configuration is normalized and mapping information that is part of the configuration information that is supported by the honeypot is identified. A value in the configuration is replaced with another value associated with the part of the configuration information that is supported by the honeypot.

  • Patent number: 10965521
    Abstract: Approaches provide for a management component to manage distribution of configuration information or other information in a network environment. For example, a request to deploy a security appliance configured to replicate functionality, behavior, and/or an identity of a computing device is received. The request includes selection criteria specifying one or more computing devices to replicate. Using the selection criteria, a computing device is identified as well as information associated with the computing device. The identified information is modified based on configuration requirements for a security appliance.
