  • Generating a virtual database to test data security of a real database
    Patent number: 10362052
    Abstract: Determining a data security risk level of a virtual database is provided. An object catalog corresponding to a real database is imported into the virtual database. Objects in the object catalog are organized by levels. It is determined whether one or more data security policy definitions corresponding to a set of objects referenced by test query message traffic performed an action in response to determining that one or more test query messages in the test query message traffic run on the virtual database did not satisfy respective parameters of the one or more data security policy definitions. In response to determining that one or more of the data security policy definitions corresponding to the set of objects referenced by the test query message traffic did not perform the action, a test failure result is returned. A data security risk level for the virtual database is determined based on the result.

  • DYNAMICALLY OPENING PORTS FOR TRUSTED APPLICATION PROCESSES HOSTED IN CONTAINERS
    Publication number: 20190199687
    Abstract: A port listening request dynamically generated by an application process hosted in a container can be identified. Whether the application process hosted in the container is trusted can be determined. Responsive to determining that the application process hosted in the container is trusted, a first port to be used as an external port for the application process can be dynamically selected, and a port assignment can be communicated to a container engine, the port assignment indicating the first port is assigned to the application process. The first port can be mapped to a second port assigned as an internal port for the application process. The first port can be opened for the application process.
