Patent number: 12225025Abstract: A system retrieves from cloud storage a packet(s) sampled from network traffic detected for software deployed on a cloud instance within a cloud environment. Each packet is inspected with deep packet inspection (DPI) to determine characteristics of the packet from which the identity/type of the corresponding software are determined. The system correlates the data/metadata generated from DPI with data/metadata of other cloud resources of the cloud environment based on determining the cloud resources to which the cloud instance is related or which also support deployment/execution of the software. The correlated data/metadata are evaluated based on security policies which include criteria for characteristics of software running on the cloud infrastructure rather than criteria for cloud infrastructure configuration alone. The system thus determines whether a cloud resource complies with the security policies based at least partly on the types/characteristics of software with which it is correlated.Type: GrantFiled: April 24, 2024Date of Patent: February 11, 2025Assignee: Palo Alto Networks, Inc.Inventor: Krishnan Shankar Narayan

The system, apparatus, and method uses or may be referred to as Identity Query Language or “IDQL.” Policies and user access are defined centrally, and these policies are distributed out to the various bespoke systems. This distribution is aided by a policy gateway, or orchestrator, which acts as a policy mapper and/or API wrapper which accepts IDQL policy configurations, maps them to an imperative identity system, and carries out the IDQL command in the identity systems' native API calls.Type: GrantFiled: April 4, 2022Date of Patent: October 15, 2024Assignee: STRATA IDENTITY, INC.Inventors: Eric Michael Olden, Christopher Eugene Marie, Carl Eric Leach, Mike Barinek, Gerry Joseph Gebel, Phillip James Dennis Hunt

Patent number: 12106431Abstract: Systems, methods, and apparatus are provided for safe deposit box protocols in a metaverse environment. A metaverse application may enable interactions between an agent avatar and a customer avatar in a secure bidirectional metaverse session. Customer identity may be verified using meta-information associated with avatar appearance or behavior, device data, and/or methods of avatar control. The customer avatar may view a virtual representation or video stream of physical safe deposit box contents in the metaverse environment. In some embodiments, the customer avatar may request a camera adjustment at the physical safe deposit box. In some embodiments, the customer avatar may sign a virtual document in the metaverse environment. The signature may be captured and reproduced on a paper document by a device interfacing with the metaverse application. The metaverse application may store technical logs of the metaverse session for future reference.Type: GrantFiled: November 29, 2022Date of Patent: October 1, 2024Assignee: Bank of America CorporationInventors: Sneha Padiyar, Nandini Rathaur, Sandeep Kumar Chauhan, Aditya Sharma

Patent number: 12086233Abstract: An orchestration engine intermittently scans secrets, of different secret types, to identify secrets that are to be rotated. The orchestration engine calls an application programming interface (API) exposed by a serverless management system and wakes up the serverless management system. The serverless management system generates a new secret, stores the new secret for rotation, and interacts with a dependent system in order to revoke an old secret and implement the new secret. Once the secret is rotated, and the new secret is implemented, the orchestration engine stores the new secret in a secret store.Type: GrantFiled: June 26, 2019Date of Patent: September 10, 2024Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Bhaskardeep Khaund, Bo Wu, Yiqun Wang, Chen Shen
