Patent number: 11765046Abstract: This disclosure provides solutions for automatically grouping network devices (e.g., endpoints) into clusters based on device characteristics. In some aspects, the disclosed technology also provides solutions for generating user selectable queries based on cluster characteristics. A process of the disclosed technology can include steps for identifying one or more device characteristics associated with a first network device, identifying one or more cluster characteristics for each of a first cluster and a second cluster, and comparing the device characteristics associated with the first network device with the one or more cluster characteristics for the first cluster and the second cluster. The process can further include steps for adding the first network device to the first cluster based on the cluster characteristics for the first cluster and the device characteristics for the first network device. Systems and machine-readable media are also provided.Type: GrantFiled: November 13, 2018Date of Patent: September 19, 2023Assignee: Cisco Technology, Inc.Inventors: Weifei Zeng, Omid Madani, Varun Malhotra, Paul Mach, Yash Vipul Doshi, Sayeed Mohammed Tasnim, Thanh Nhan Thi Nguyen, Navindra Yadav, Shashi Gandham

Publication number: 20230283520Abstract: The disclosed technology relates to intent driven network management. A system is configured to maintain an inventory store comprising records for a set of network entities in a network, wherein each network entity in the set of network entities is associated with a record in the inventory store. The system receives a user intent statement comprising an action and a flow filter representing network data flows on which the action is to be applied and queries, based on the flow filter, the inventory store to identify a plurality of network entities in the set of network entities to which the user intent statement applies. The system generates a plurality of network policies that implement the user intent statement based on the plurality of network entities and the action and enforces the plurality network policies.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 8, 2023Publication date: September 7, 2023Inventors: Rohit Prasad, Shashi Gandham, Hoang Nguyen, Abhishek Singh, Shih-Chun Chang, Navindra Yadav, Ali Parandehgheibi, Paul Mach, Rachita Agasthy, Ravi Prasad, Varun Malhotra, Michael Watts, Sunil Gupta

Patent number: 11706239Abstract: Systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable storage media are disclosed for detecting vulnerabilities in real-time during execution of a process or an application. In one example, a device may have one or more memories storing computer-readable instructions and one or more processors configured to execute the computer-readable instructions to obtain real-time process information associated with a process executing in an endpoint. The device can then determine package information for a package associated with the process based on the process information. The device can then identify at least one vulnerability associated with the package information using a database of vulnerabilities stored on a backend component of the network. The backend component may have a database of vulnerabilities for packages.Type: GrantFiled: August 26, 2020Date of Patent: July 18, 2023Assignee: Cisco Technology, Inc.Inventors: Hai Vu, Thanh Nhan Nguyen, Vaishali Palkar, Varun Malhotra, Shih-Chun Chang, Xin Liu
