  • Patent number: 12225051
    Abstract: Techniques for user identity-based security policy enforcement. The techniques may include sending, to an edge device associated with a network, a networking policy associated with a user. The techniques may also include receiving, from an identity provider, an IP address associated with the user. Additionally, the techniques may include sending, to the edge device, an indication to associate the IP address with the user such that the edge device applies the networking policy to packets that include the IP address.

  • Publication number: 20250030743
    Abstract: Methods and systems are described herein for dynamically applying a security policy based on one or more tag attributes. The method comprises receiving, at a network controller, information about an instance of a cloud workload instantiated at a cloud provider. The cloud workload is associated with a tag attribute. The method further comprises querying the cloud provider for at least one IP address associated with the tag attribute and learning the at least one IP address associated with the tag attribute, including the IP address for the instance of the cloud workload. The method further comprises associating a security policy with the at least one IP address associated with the tag attribute and propagating the security policy to at least one edge router for implementation.

  • Publication number: 20250007951
    Abstract: Techniques for extending application-aware routing (AAR) policies to enable intelligent routing decisions based on device security posture. The techniques may include receiving, from a client device, traffic that is to be sent over a network to an application and determining a security score associated with the traffic. The security score may be based on a security posture associated with the client device, a security level associated with a connectivity network used by the client device, and the like. The techniques may also include determining, based at least in part on the security score and based at least in part on an application-aware routing policy, a path for sending the traffic to the application.

  • Publication number: 20240303336
    Abstract: A method of protecting networks may include detecting a compromised computing device associated with a security event generated by a unified security policy from a plurality of sites within a network. A context of the compromised computing device may be extracted. The context may be propagated to a controller. The method may further include fetching from an identity services engine (ISE), user identity associated with the compromised computing device, and provisioning the controller with a dynamic list and a data policy matching the dynamic list. The method may also include advertising the dynamic list and the data policy to at least one of the plurality of sites.

  • Publication number: 20240106855
    Abstract: This disclosure describes techniques and mechanisms for improving security within SDWAN fabric and utilizing telemetry data from non-enterprise providers to remediate compromised SDWAN site(s) and/or user(s). The techniques may implement an integration of non-enterprise application(s) and API(s) with an enterprise network, thereby enabling the enterprise network to identify compromised endpoint(s), identify user(s), group(s), site(s) that are impacted, and take a corrective action (by the enterprise network and/or the non-enterprise application(s) or API(s)) on the enterprise fabric.

  • Patent number: 11025632
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a device of a vehicle receives a packet comprising a source address, a destination address, an internet protocol (IP) encapsulated controller area network (CAN) message, and CAN message identifier information. The device compares the source address, the destination address, and the CAN message identifier information to an access control list (ACL). The device makes a determination that delivery of the CAN message to the destination address would be a policy violation based on the comparison. The device drops the packet based on the determination that delivery of the CAN message to the destination address would be a policy violation.
