  • Publication number: 20240106862
    Abstract: Systems, methods, apparatuses, and computer program products for providing a virtual cloud workload protection platform. One method may include determining, by a device, whether a data stream is approved or unapproved; and transmitting, by the device, a fetch request to a renderer requesting a network resource requested by a protected client. Another method may include receiving, by a rendering device, a fetch request from a device requesting at least one network resource requested by a protected client; requesting, by the rendering device, the requested at least one requested resource; and rendering, by the rendering device, the at least one requested resource.

  • Publication number: 20220337557
    Abstract: A system and method for shielding a network from malicious or unauthorized activity includes an active monitoring device connected to the network for monitoring each data packet and controlling the network connection. End devices connected to the network are isolated from each other so that data cannot flow in the event one or more data packets, devices, and so on, are flagged as untrustworthy. The active monitoring device uses the filter data to determine whether unusual behavior, unauthorized access, attempted hacking occurred, and ensure isolation between network devices and prevent transfer of data. Continuous monitoring ensures once trusted devices that abnormally change behavior are flagged as untrusted, thereby preventing breaches of the network.

  • Patent number: 8291058
    Abstract: The present invention describes a system and method of extracting and storing data elements from network packets, thus performing the task of data mining. In one embodiment of the present invention incoming packets are decomposed one protocol layer at a time to extract data elements contained in the protocol headers. Layer-specific parsers perform deep packet inspection in order to extract data elements from upper-level protocols. Extracted data is arranged in rows, which are subsequently stored into a memory-based accumulator. After some length of time the accumulator is flushed to disk files. Another process reads the flushed disk files row-by-row, inserting each row into a relational database. Standard SQL operations are performed on the relational database in order to generate and display reports of the collected data.
